Mother's Day Weekend

AND Eight Months!

We had a good first week in the new house.  We are much more unpacked than a week ago, but still have 5-10 boxes that we need to figure out.  Plus a mess of a garage.  But, we did have our first visitors - my parents came down for the weekend.  A happy coincidence was that this weekend was Mother's Day weekend, so I got to spend my first mother's day as a mom with my mom - and my mom got to spend her first mother's day as a grandma with her grandson!  We had a laid back, fun visit.  As is the usual, we probably ate a bit too much, but oh well. 

Carmen and I went on a date on Friday night, a much belated birthday celebration for him.  Mom and Dad babysat, which Mom was overjoyed with and Dad lived through!  Carmen and I had a wonderful time and are very appreciative of the evening out just the two of us. 

Yesterday was Jayden's 8 month birthday - so we celebrated by going to a good Cuban restaurant in old town Orange, walking through a flea market and torturing him by taking him into the swimming pool for the first time.  We got a little (or a lot) of cuddle time in too.  Then Carmen grilled steak and made shrimp for us for dinner and we relaxed the rest of the evening.  It was a good day. 

ooh paper!

If I hit the paper with my pacifier (or whatever else happens to be in my hand at the moment), does it make a good noise?  I don't know, but I'm certainly going to try...

I'm tired and not totally sure about Grandpa, but he seems nice so I'll cuddle anyway.
Mom has all of the pictures from the swimming pool and some others from the day.  I'll share some of those here when she sends them to me.
