Happy St. Patrick's Day

This has been a great week and we have had a lot of fun. Bryton is smiling more and making all sorts of fun noises and Annabel is saying more and more words everyday.

All smiles!

We had our first real play date, with multiple children, at our house on Friday. It was fun and crazy all at the same time. There were five 2 year olds (or close to it) and two newborns. Basically, it was a love/hate relationship the entire morning. The biggest hit by all the kids was a toy vacuum and I only had one! I thought the play date would have worn Annabel out, but no nap that day. It is becoming a little bit of a trend these days. She takes about two days off of napping and then naps a couple days and repeat. She (and I ) need her to nap!

On Saturday morning we ventured back to Annabel's second gymnastics class. It was a little bit better than the first time, but she was still not feeling it. Austin and I have decided she is just not a big fan of structure and likes to do what she wants to do. Structure is pretty important, so we will be working on that in the near future. She did enjoy herself the last five minutes, and of course did not want to leave. We hope next week will even be better.

On Saturday afternoon we had a small get together with our close friends for St. Patrick's Day. It was so fun to get all of our children together. Annabel played with a little friend all afternoon on their own. It was amazing to see. Her friend was a little older and a very good role model. Bryton had a good time too and was sad to see everyone leave.  He expressed that to us after the party.

My sweet little rocker.

Someone was left to play in their room.

Someone found their thumb.

She will swing forever!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I could not get the best pictures...as you can see :)
