New adventures

Mary Elizabeth continues to enjoy the pool. She has been swimming 2 more times.
She also enjoys taking a break from the pool to play or nap in her tent.
Resting with mom after a swim and a snack.
Modeling a suit that Aunt Peggy gave us.
Swimming with LuLu and mom.

Eating cereal continues to go well. She is swallowing more than she spits out!

Saturday night was our first big adventure. I finally made the leap to let Mary Elizabeth sleep in her own room. She has been ready for a long time, but it made me nervous to sleep in another room. Saturday night was the big night and everything went fine. Mary Elizabeth is such a good sleeper. She generally sleeps from 8 pm until 6 the next morning.

Sunday night was another adventure. Mary Elizabeth had a sleep over at LuLu and Joe's house while Mike and I went to an event in Birmingham and stayed overnight at a hotel. Mike and I had a great time. It had been a long time since we had done anything fun just for us (probably May of 2007). LuLu and Joe also had a great time with their overnight guest. Joe got some alone time with Mary Elizabeth while LuLu went to a bridal shower, then Pat and Big Joe came over for dinner that night. I got home around 10 am Monday after dropping Mike at work. LuLu and Mary Elizabeth were singing songs and having their morning chat. It had been a busy morning so far, Mary Elizabeth had talked to Hobbes, had a bath, and eaten 8 ounces of milk, so they were due for some down time. Once Mary Elizabeth got home with me she ate a little, then went straight to sleep for 2 hours. I think she had worn herself out babysitting LuLu and Joe the night before!
