I Survived and Me Time!

Well we all survived on Friday, thank you for your prayers! We dropped her off and she was playing when we left. Patrick and I then enjoyed a couple hours of shopping and lunch! It was nice to be out together but I sure did miss my baby! When we went to pick her up she was asleep in the swing and when she heard us talking she opened her eyes and smiled.

They said she only cried for alittle while after we left because she was looking around like she didn't know where she was and she took a 30 minute nap. For those of you that know Mary Alice you know that is great! Mary Alice HAS to be swaddled to sleep long because she puts her hands in her face. At daycare she is not swaddled and she is in a room with other people (which she is a people watcher so it is hard for her go to sleep). So all in all we survived. She will go everyday this week except Friday when she will stay with her Daddy. Her first LONG day will be Wednesday!

Today we had a great day at church and then came home to eat lunch and took naps. This weekend Mary Alice has been eating carrots and she LOVES them! When we have to open a new package she starts crying because she wants more. Well today it was time to try a new food so I gave her green beans. She was not too happy. She started gagging on them and spitting them back out. I am going to try again tomorrow but I wonder if she will be like her mommy and not like them! She is really starting to eat more food. Sometimes I think she would rather eat with a spoon then take a bottle!

After naps we went to a swimming party for the youth. Tonight was the seniors last night and our good friend is a senior so Patrick wanted to go hear his speech! Mary Alice went swimming with her daddy and then I took her home to put her to bed. Patrick is still there and she is asleep and I am in Heaven. Before she was born I hated to be by myself. I would get so mad if Patrick was not home because I would get bored, but now I LOVE IT! I love to lay on the couch and play with the computer in silence! :)

Our little girl turned 5 months old today so be on the look out for her 5 months update and pictures (hopefully tomorrow). In the meantime here are some pictures of her in her jumper. She loves it! She will jump forever and just squeal and smile!
