Baby Friends!

Well this week we had a lot going on. It has kept me and Brynnie busy during the day. Wednesday we went to my Grandma's for lunch. My Aunt Monica and Mary Jo were there and it is always good to see them :) I know my Grandma really loves the company-- even more since my Grandpa has passed away. My Grandma finished Brynn's quilt! It is so cute. I need to take a picture of it and post it on here. Anyone who was friends with me pre-marriage to Dan knows I had an attachment to my blanket that my Grandma made me :) That thing even came with me throughout college and on all my soccer trips-- haha. I finally decided once Dan and I got married it was time to put it away. It is now in Brynn's closet. I wonder if Brynn will have an attachment to something....

Brynn and I joined an ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) class through our school district down here. It is on Thursday's for an hour and half and for babies 0-6 months. We had our first class yesterday. There is only one baby boy in the class! All the rest are girls. There is a baby that was only 2 weeks old, and the oldest was the boy, and he was almost 6 months old. It is fun to see all these babies together. I wasn't quite sure what to expect.... but it seems like we will sing to the babies, play with them, read to them, and then have some time to discuss things we have questions about. I am already looking forward to next week's class! I also plan on signing Brynn up for swimming lessons this summer through community education. There is a lot of great opportunities for new moms... it is nice.

Today we are heading out to the Mall of America to have lunch with a couple of friends from work. We are eating at Bubba's... which is always fun since I used to work there. I looked at their menu online last night... and it has gotten a lot more expensive. I am looking forward to it, though. :)

This weekend we have a Wild game, and plan on going to the Sportsman's Show. I also saw the forecast and it looks like on Saturday is supposed to be so nice! I can't wait until everything is green again.

Onto more about Brynn.... routine. She is almost 12 weeks old, and I have the morning routine figured out. She gets up around 7, eats, we play, and then I know she needs a nap by 9 for at least an hour. She then will eat again, play, and then take another nap around 12. From here until the end of the day... it could be anything. I am sure a reason this is the case is because the afternoon is when we go out and about... so it is hard for her to figure out a routine. She goes to bed anywhere from 7-10 pm! SO no consistency, just kind of depends on the day. I am ok with this for right now... I was talking to my friend Kelsey a few weeks ago and I was thinking of trying to really get her into a routine around 6 months. I am hoping then that will help once I go back to work and she has to go to daycare :( Speaking of daycare... we have an interview on Tuesday with a home daycare in SSP. I hope it goes well...
