My mom went home today. Bernie's parents left on Wednesday. Having guests is one of my favorite things in the world, but I always have a couple of nice peaceful days after they leave. The trip was like they are normally are...lots of eating, shopping, etc. We did make it to a UND game down in Denver baby-free. It was a good time. Oh! And I got a really cute pair of knee high brown leather boots, a first for me. It took me years to find a pair I actually like. So that was my birthday money purchase.
Bennett had his one year appointment last week. It's hard to fathom that an entire year has gone by since his dramatic entrance into our world. He is doing really well. 21lbs. 7oz. and 29 inches. Most babies triple (or so) their weight the first year. Bennett is more like 6 1/2 times his! His growth has been amazing. He has started to pull himself up now and does so at every opportunity. He also loves to jibber jabber (da da at this point). I just can't believe how lucky we have been...so when will I stop waiting for the other shoe to drop? Maybe it's just a mom thing.
His birthday party was fun, but certainly overwhelming for him. We wanted to have it when both the grandparents were here, so a weekday was the only choice. Then an evening was necessary so everyone could make it. We didn't start until 5:30 which was late for him, but he held it together. He got tons of toys and they are now overflowing the living room. I'm that person. The one I never wanted to be. My child's toys are overtaking my life.
I have a guilty pleasure that I have to admit. I am totally back into Days of Our Lives. I used to watch this show with my Grandma all the time. I continued through college and then gave it up, save for the occasional relapse. Well, it's a full relapse this time. I even record it everyday. So there, my secret is out. I don't know when I will get back on the wagon.
