Babies everywhere!

We had a weekend full of all things baby. Friday we had a baby shower at work. After work I went to eat with my little godson Charlie who lives in Jacksonville. His first birthday is coming up so this was his birthday celebration weekend in Mississippi. He's such a doll! After dinner we attended a shower in honor of some friends that are having twin girls, then Saturday we hosted a shower for our friends Grady and Anna who will be having a baby boy very soon. Babies babies babies! The shower went really well. I found an idea for a game online and it was really fun. I got about thirty pics of celebrities when they were babies and then the parents-to-be baby pics and put them on a collage and everyone had to match the 'stars' with their baby pic. It was really hard but a wonderful game to get men and women involved. The parents-to-be won the prize (Target gift cards) so it couldn't have worked out better. Here's a pic of the game and a pic of the very involved competitors. :)


























Okay, so I'm still not really sure I'm ready for my own babies yet, but seeing all the excitement in all our parents-to-be friends' eyes sure makes me a little envious....and holding sweet little Charlie just makes my heart melt. Maybe I'm getting a little closer to being ready than I thought......

Water dog

This weekend we had a free Saturday and decided to go for a family picnic at Paul B. Wow....was it hot!?! Brett asked me when we left if we were going to take Einstein swimming and I was like...no way....he won't even get in his baby pool I bought him. Wrong! We walked him up to the side of the lake where he proceeded to drink his weight in dirty pond water. There were tons of people out on boats and jet skis so they were creating waves that were coming up and splashing on him.....he didn't seem to mind. Next thing we know he plops down and is laying in the water. At this point we decided he was soaking wet so we would just let him do what he wanted....he started creeping on out deeper and deeper and next thing we know he's swimming off. His first time ever to go swimming and he seemed to love it! Now I am getting ready to order him a life vest and take him out on my dad's boat. Can't wait! However....next time he will NOT be drinking dirty pond water......that made for a not fun Sunday. :)
