Playing Catch Up

Playdate with Addie and Jonah at Suzanne's on Monday night. The kiddos enjoyed eating cheerios and goldfish and playing with the cat.

Emma Claire had her first casualty at daycare. Pulled up on the rocking chair and took a spill. Looked like a bruiser the rest of the week with a little spot on her cheek. Lots more of that sort of thing happening lately with the increased mobility and curiosity.

Wednesday night was "daddy" night at swim class. Harrison and Brad were in charge. Emma Claire made it just in time for her part in "Hi Ho the Dari-O...Emma Claire's" in the water. It was apparently a fiasco changing Jonah and Emma Claire after class. Changing clothes and diapers is an aerobic workout these days.
Meanwhile, Marissa enjoyed and I enjoyed a night out with friends...

Thursday was Emma Claire's 9 month visit with Dr. Hobbs. Went great.
STATS: 30th % for weight (17 lbs 14 oz), 11th % for height (26 1/4 in) ...79th % for head.

Emma Claire thoroughly enjoyed herself. Dr. Hobbs though she had "great social skills' and was "very sweet". She screamed with the shots, but was over it before they got the band-aids on. Dr. Hobbs says we should work on the sleep thing...no more feeding her at night, mom! Since that, she has slept through a couple of times. Progress...(only took 9 1/2 months).
Thursday night we went out for a fantastic dinner at the Capital Grill (I highly recommend the ice cream!) with the Grodnicks (Happy Birthday, Marissa!) followed by "Wicked" at the Orpheum. Brad and I had seen it in New York a couple of years ago and enjoyed it just as much the second go around. It is a fun twist on the Wicked Witch... Actually made more sense to me this time. The best character is Gu-Linda and the best singer Elphaba (the "wicked" witch).http://www.wickedthemusical.com/

Saturday...Game Day. We joined a group of Ole Miss alumni downtown to watch the Magnolia Bowl. Ole Miss defeated LSU! It was a small group of us, but it was fun to watch the game with other "midwestern" Rebel fans. There were even a few Hotty Toddies.
Emma Claire enjoyed the outing. She was a trooper (we were out all afternoon). I think she liked the TVs and attention from everyone (and of course, the Hotty Toddies). Her new thing is clapping, so there was a lot of that, too. She caught a ride on her Grandpa Rick's shoulders...

Ahh...Sunday! What a week it has been. We were actually able to "sleep in" today and stayed in our PJs until noon! A much needed day of rest. Tonight, though, was "Turkey Bingo" at GVCC. We sat with the Grodnicks. Emma Claire and Jonah shared cheerios and goldfish. Emma Claire kept holding cheerios up to Jonah. We thought she was sharing at first, but I think she was just showing it off. Wow, are they getting active. Lots of crawling around and under tables. No luck with bingo at our table. Didn't win big this time. Maybe next year!
