Yesterday, November 25th, our baby turned half a year old! I had hoped for her to wear her little white turkey dress for the day in honor of Thanksgiving, but it no longer fits over her noggin- oops! So onto Plan B. :)
We snapped some pics before our busy day got started (good thing because the outfit didn’t make through the afternoon). First, we went to our First Time Moms group, which was exactly the relaxed, laid-back time with friends and babies that I needed. I even got a few Christmas shopping ideas! Then, we met John for lunch, and when he had to go back to work, we found Spif and Google and sat with them while they ate lunch. We ran a few errands and then collapsed on the couch where John made it home just in time for an afternoon family nap. It’s been quite a while since all three of us have been asleep during the day at the same time!
We ended the day with a wonderfully spontaneous late-night drive-by Brandy and Lydia- just like old times! We oohed and aahed over Brandy’s snazzy new minivan (how times have changed!), and then we tip-toed upstairs to peek at a sleeping HG. Of course, we weren’t sneaky enough, and she rolled over, popped her eyes open, and threw a huge toothless smile at us! The girls got to snuggle with her for a few minutes, and then she went right back to sleep. It was great to see Lyd with her super cute baby bump, and I have a funny feeling that this won’t be the last time that Helen Grace will be awakened by Big Red!
Her six month post to come soon!
