First cup and parade!!

Last week was not as busy, which was really quite nice. I've been pretty tired lately (from late nights, middle of the night wake-up calls, and early mornings). Gerry's dad came to visit us last Sunday evening (May 25) for dinner. It was great to see him, but Colby wasn't so sure at first. He screamed when he came and sat on the couch and it took him a while to get used to him being here. He was fine after a few minutes of me sitting with him next to Grandpa Cameron. Hmmm... first stranger anxiety I've seen... On Tuesday, Kristy and I went on a little shopping spree at WEM. The boys did really well and slept for part of the time, which made the shopping much easier! :) Colby also drank from a sippy cup for the first time on Tuesday evening. I just gave it to him after drinking out of it once and he caught right on. He needs some more practice swallowing all of it, but he's getting the hang of it pretty quickly!! Wednesday was my dad's birthday, so we headed over to my parents' house for dinner and cake. It was a fun evening with the family, but we headed home early for bath and bedtime. My, how times change... 8:00 rolls around and the party shuts down for bath and bedtime routines!! On Friday we had a lunch and play date with some of my cousins and their kids, Mandy and Hailey, Marla and Ayden, Kristy and Landon, and us. It was fun to see all of them playing together. And of course, since it's Farmer's Days this weekend, we took in the parade yesterday morning. It was a great parade and Colby loved watching most of the things go by (especially the bands with loud music). I had a girly evening last night and went to see "Sex and the City" with a bunch of girlfriends. It was so much fun getting all dressed up and watching the ultimate of chick flicks out there. Great movie, you have to see it!! :) It was a late night again though... really need to work on getting to bed earlier! It would also help if Colby was still sleeping through the night... for the past week or so, he's been waking up coughing at about 4 or 4:30 am and not being able to get back to sleep. This results in lots of crying and eventually a bottle to put him back to sleep. Hopefully this is a phase that will go away when the cough finally does!! He's eating really well and is now onto oatmeal cereal. Soon it will be fruits and vegetables with breakfast too! :) Hope everyone's enjoying the nice weather lately! Take care.
