Long Weekend

We are: 8 weeks and 6 days!!

What a great LONG weekend it was for us, filled with BBQ's and relaxation!! On Saturday we headed over to the annual Memorial Day Pool Party at the Hydocks. Riley was soo excited to get to spend more time with Madeline. Although the weather was gorgeous, it was still a bit too cold for the pool, so Riley will debut her bikini another day. We had to leave there a bit early though so that we could try to keep with our bed time routine that she is getting used to (bath, lotion, pj's, bottle, swaddle, bed) It seems to really work, I think she understands that when it is bath time it means we are settling down for the night. We try to get her into bed between 7:30-8:00.

Anyways, we had a great time at the Hydocks (Thank you very much!!) and there was great food!! Then on Sunday (daddy's only day off!) we did some running around, more BBQing and then we all took a family nap!!

Monday brought more of the same!! Daddy had to work, so when he got off we were going to go look for deck furniture, however we went to a friends for a BBQ again!! I am BBQed out!

Riley has been doing a wonderful job a night with the sleeping. We usually put her down around 7:30-8ish, then right before I go to bed (10:30-11) I pop a bottle in her mouth for a little topping-off (about an ounce) then she doesn't get up until around 4ish. Last night Joe and I retired to bed early, so I topped her off at 9:45 and she slept til 3! It was great to get 5 hours in a row!! I am hoping that soon we will be going until 6, than 7!!! Wouldn't that be wishful thinking!!

Anyways, we are very busy this week too, today when she gets up from her nap we are heading out to run some errands, tomorrow we are meeting Grandma O for lunch, Thursday we are having a play date with Hayan and her daughter and Lee Ann and her 2 daughters and her son. Then on Friday we have our 2 month check up!!

I think I need a nap now too!!
