Scarlett will be 5 months old on Thursday! The weather has been beautiful this week so we have been trying to spend as much time outside as possible, which means lots of family walks. We went around the neighborhood on Wednesday and Thursday and then ventured down to Georgetown for dinner on Friday. While we were at the Georgetown Harbor, we saw Ben Stein! It was Scarlett's first official celebrity sighting. We had our camera and are now kicking ourselves for not stopping him :). Yesterday we went to Baltimore to see Paul's family for easter. First we saw Flossy (GiGi). We almost missed her because she thought we were going to be there today. When we got there her door was unlocked, her car was there, but there was no Flossy to be found. Paul was freaking out running around the house looking for her when he found out she thought it was Sunday and was out. Luckily, she came back shortly after and we were able to have our visit. Afterwards we went to Aunt Cathy's house and saw all of the cousins. Jennifer was up from school so they prepared a big Easter dinner. On our way back, we stopped at Dave's long enough to say hi and for Scarlett to blow out. Dave has that effect on her! She had only slept about an hour all day long (as opposed to her normal 5 hours), so by the time we were heading home, she was CRANKY. Actually crying and very upset. The only thing that seemed to calm her down was Paul and I singing to her very loudly. Over and over again. All the way home... So for 25 minutes we sang a stupid little song that I made up for her months ago over and over. Anyway, considering what a long day it had been for her, it could have been worse! Our trips to Baltimore always throw her off quite a bit. Today we went to Tracy's house to see everyone for Easter. On our way home we stopped and got Scarlett her first Easter basket (she likes chocolate... well, she likes that her parents like chocolate) and then tried to take a few low budget Easter pictures. The huge dress is courtesy of my mom (Nonni). It's a 3-6 month but still a little big on her, but we figured, when else will she wear it? In addition to her 5 month birthday, Thursday will be my first night away from her. I am flying to Atlanta for a conference. I'm going for 1 night instead of 4 because I didn't think I was ready to be away from her that long and I didn't want to throw out 5 days worth of breast milk. I know she will be totally fine with her daddy while I'm gone but I also know it is going to drive me crazy not to see her all day. She is right on the cusp of sitting up and I don't want to miss it!

Ben Stein? What was he doing in Georgetown? Does he live in DC? Happy early 5 months, Scarlett! Aw... 5 months and you won't be there for her month-birthday? :( That sucks... Maybe you can bring a cooler with you to carry on for your breast milk?
ReplyDeleteCan she get any more beautiful!? Your mom has great taste that dress is so cute on her. That's so cool that you guys saw Ben Stein!
