We survived!

Daddy's first day back at work went very well thanks to Dianna, Carla and Tanya. They came over with the kids for a playdate. Cam had a blast running around and getting COVERED in sand! Thank you guys SO MUCH! I think we should plan weekly playdates!

I've heard a lot of people say that the second child kind of gets brushed aside. Well, I don't want to say Arianna has been brushed aside per se, I like to think we're more experienced. When Arianna cries, we wait a few minutes before going to her. With Cam we were on top of him if he made a peep. When Cam would drop his binkie it would get sterilized immediately. If Arianna drops her binkie we wipe it on our shirts and hand it to her. Yesterday during our playdate Arianna slept for HOURS in her carseat. She seemed so comfortable. Well, last night she was fussing non-stop. We just wanted sleep. So I put her in the carseat on the bed in between Steve and I. Steve looked at me like I had 10 heads until she was quiet then he thought I was a genius!

Oh, I'm so sad that I missed the playdate! Don't feel silly about the car seat thing. Landon slept in his infant carrier in his crib for the first 2 months of his life...until we discovered the Miracle Blanket, of course. :o)

So glad are going well. And we had a blast running around outside. We are happy to play anytime! Keep up the good work. You look great and the kiddos are doing awesome. I still can't believe how sweet and tiny your little girl is.
