Our First Play Date

Ashley and I had our first play date this morning!  Boy, was it fun!   We were running late on our way there because I had to change clothes at the last minute.   Ashley decided to spit up all over me right before we were going to leave.  This was another “first” by the way.  She’s never spit up before.  She usually just lets out a burp when I burp her.  Not this morning.   I was burping her like normal, when all of a sudden I hear a Blacch and felt a warm sensation on my neck.  She had spit milk out all over me!  So now I know what it feels like to be spit up on.  Thanks Ashley, for that official induction into the Mommy club!

The ladies we met for our play date were actually some old friends from middle school.  We hadn’t seen each other since then so it was great reuniting with them.  It’s so neat that we all have kids now!  We met at Starbucks, had coffee, and strolled down to the kids play area at the mall.  It was fun walking and talking with them.  I’ve never done things with other Mommies before, so it was new and exciting.  We talked baby stuff and I got lots of advice because their children are all older than Ashley.  I also got to see what I have to look forward to, as their kids were running around and playing.  I held Ashley in my lap so she could watch the children play.  And to think that will be her one day, running around.  Sigh…

This afternoon I put her in her pack-n-play for a bit.  She was talking and entertaining herself.  I don’t know how long it had been.  Maybe 20-30 minutes.  I look over there to check on her and she is laying there without any pants on!  At first I thought to myself, maybe I forgot to put her pants back on after I changed her diaper.  But then I could have sworn I did.  I mean, how could I forget to put her pants on?   And if I did, how could she have taken them off?  She’s not even 4 months old yet; surely she couldn’t have taken her own pants off.  She can’t even sit up by herself .  After some investigation, I found her pants balled up in the blanket that she had also kicked off.  Sure enough, that little stinker had kicked off the blanket AND her pants!  She was just laying there smiling, with her diaper on and shirt pulled up, obviously trying to get that off, too!  She is so funny!!   I just stared at her laughing.  And of course had to take some pictures of her vanishing pants trick.  She was mighty proud of her accomplishment…my little comedian
