Tuesday was a trip to Little Gym to try a free class with Rebecca and her mommy Jill. Stella is still too young for this in my opinion. She wanted nothing to do with chin ups and somersaults and couldn't help but run laps in the big gym and climb on anything she could get her hands on. She screamed as we left which makes me think there may be a time for Little Gym at some point but not right now. We headed to the park after that and had lunch in the scorching heat. Patti and Stevie joined us and we watched the kids melt while whiping our brows and whining about the heat. It was a lot more fun that is sounds. ;-) Tueday evening Jill, Steve and Rebecca came over for pizza and the local community concert. The girls barely lasted the wagon ride to the concert before the heat and excitement of the day caught up with them. The Mommy's didn't mind since we are both pregnant and this heat is killing us....so we waddled back home to hit the cribs and sit in the ac.
Wednesday....Stella had her 18 month wellness appointment. She is doing just great and the Dr. was happy to see her walking so well. She now weighs 24lbs and is 32 1/2 inches tall. Thank you Daddy for those inches! The appointment went well and she barely cried when she got her 2 shots. I felt sort of emotional to think that our next appointment will be for her 2 year checkup. How will this little one be 2 years old soon! Ok, in 6 months but still...it is going too fast.
Thursday was playgroup at our community pool. Pearce, Stevie, Rebecca, Nathan and Taylor joined Stella for swimming and lunch......again, in the scorching heat. Have I mentioned that I am not a fan of the heat? Not sure if that has come across at all. Anyway, Stella padded around the perimeter of the pool for about 20 minutes before working up a good sweat and deciding to go in. This was the 4th or 5th straight day of over 90 so the pool was really the only place to be. All the kids had a great time swimming and LONG naps were had by all.
Friday was the icing on the playdate cake as Ryan and his Mommy were coming to play! We went to the Robbinsville Library for the worst children's musical hour I have ever endured. I felt like I was watching an SNL skit! The 2 singers had matching t-shirts that they had made in the car 5 minutes before with a bubble marker. They sang to recorded background music and covered topics like shapes and opposites. What is wrong with farm animals or ducks or even that spider I that to sing about! Lauren works so she doesn't get to attend many of these I was sure sorry she had driven nearly an hour for this. We had a good time muttering funny comments under our breath and trying to keep the kids in line till the last sway. We fled the library and headed for Chick Fil-A.....the best way to recover from bad music is deep fried chicken. Stella had a bit of a meltdown when she saw the playground but found out she would have to wait until after lunch. Bad Mommy for letting her see it! She recovered though and after lunch we let the kids run around in there for a while and wear themselves out. Stella was hugged to excess by a little boy who saw in an instant that she is adorable and sweet and wonderful...when not pitching a fit. I finally had to ask him not to hug her quite so much....I mean tackle her to the ground. Very awkward and lucky for this little guy Stella's Daddy wasn't there.
FINALLY! Today we went to Lauren, Pat and Ryan's for dinner and had a wonderful time and great food too. It is just so fun to see these 2 play together and think of the little bugs they used to be. Lauren made yummy mac and cheese and burgers and a smore's dessert!!! The heat wave continues so we were happy to play inside and hide from the sun. Here are a couple cute pics including one that shows Brian getting practice having 2 kids. He seems to be handling it well. It was so fabulous to get to see them 2 times in a week! Thanks again for having us over! xoxoxo
