Party time!


So we went to a baby gathering this Wednesday and that was fun. They were all boys and only one girl and it was fun seeing all the differences and similarities amongst y'all. Then tonight we had a playdate/potluck at our house. Your Daddy was here for this one and I think he had a decent time after things got rolling. I'll have to agree with him that it's kinda weird and uncomfortable to meet so many new people all at once. Not to mention he just wishes his current friends that he likes all had kids rather than having to meet new ones. I totally agree, but it just hasn't worked out that way. We are the only ones to have a baby in our passel of friends. Anyway, I keep telling him it's important for you. Not only for interaction time at this age but for forming a network of families with kids your age for the coming years. Babysitting, playdates, outings, adventures. Heck, you'll need buddies for many years before you go to kindergarden. Still, it's so overwhelming. I get all stressed out having events here because I tend to want things to go perfectly. They always go well, I don't know why I worry. You are such a great baby sharing all your toys tonight, your space, your parents. You never fuss around other kids. Your Dad hasn't ever seen you in that kind of setting before tonight so he was proud. Oh, and you tried your first finger food, cereal puffs that just disolve in your mouth. I haven't given you any of that stuff before but one of the other moms gave me some information on a few products that you can definitely handle right now. I'm really excited about going out and getting some. You did enjoy the new texture and activity of eating them, I think anyway. So, it's only 8:30 and you are already in bed. Daddy went to go catch a drink with your Uncle Chris. I'm bored as anything. Might go hop in a toasty bed and read. I love you son. 

Ps. Your top two teeth punched through yesterday. Hooray because they will stop hurting you, yikes as I'm scared regarding nursing you!
