Flip Friday - one day late

Hippo Kisses

24 and 30 weeks

The babe appears to be 24 weeks old (although I had to actually count on the calendar to remind myself):

This babe has been baking in the oven for about 30 weeks. So pumped to meet him. The countdown is ON.

Play Group

As I mentioned yesterday, Edie and I have formed a playgroup with some other moms and babies we met through First Weeks. We've been casually getting together for a while, but decided to officially schedule Thursday gatherings from now on since most of us are now staying at home more or less full time. So that I don't have to introduce you repeatedly, let me tell you everyone's names up front -

Alison's daughter is Mae (3 days younger than Edie)

Deb's daughter is Alison (2 weeks older than E)

Tina's daughter is Emmeline or Emme (4 weeks younger than E)

Hopefully soon to join us are:

Sandra and her son Gavin who is 6 weeks older than Edie

And we have one more potential mom and son combo that we're inviting

Some fun pictures from last week's gathering at Deb's house:

All the girls with Edie waving to me (and a giant pan of brownies behind them).
I like how it looks like Edie is listening thoughtfully to Alison's opinion on something.
Emme and her adorable cheeks.

Flip Friday

We've officially created a play group with some of the Moms from First Weeks. Here's a video of Edie and Mae trying to hold hands at yesterday's get together.

Also, Edie has developed a complete aversion to putting her pajamas on at night. Below illustrates how seriously Jeff takes this new problem.

LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It, um, premiers tonight. I'm a little excited. If that wasn't obvious. Currently trying to convince Edie that she wants to go bed early so that we can watch the premier at 8.

Edie called my bluff

Well, since I post about things when they're hard, I felt it important to also give props to Edie when she performs like a champ. Last night she went to bed at her usual 8:30 and didn't wake up until 1:40am. THEN. She didn't wake up again until 7am! Even better, that ONE wake-up was a short feed fest after which I only had to put her down twice before it "took". I suppose having it stick the first time would be just too much to ask... Standing ovation Edie.
