hanging with Grandpa: it's her favorite thing to do |
We
had a great visit with my parents over Helena’s birthday weekend. My
parents arrived on Thursday and we had a good time staying in and my mom
and I doing errands in preparation for the birthday
party. Friday morning my dad and I went to the gym, we had plans to go
to the aquarium that afternoon, but Helena slept. So we just went out
to dinner. We told the waiter it was Helena’s birthday and he brought
her out a dessert! It was pretty funny!
Saturday
was party day. We got everything prepared, cleaned and ready. My dad
and Chris went to go pick up the balloons and cupcakes and while my mom
entertained Helena I vacuumed. After the
party my parents went to church while Chris and I cleaned up. I did a
quick run to the store to make dinner.
Sunday
was church and a super nice Mother’s Day brunch. It was that afternoon
while my dad and Chris were watching a basketball playoff game and
Helena took her first step. When I shouted “she
took a step” they were too entertained at the game that when Helena
took another step I had to hit Chris to get his attention. They finally
stopped watching the game saw her third step! It was such a sight to
see. To see her little body move is amazing.
Sunday evening we went out to dinner and ate too much!
Monday morning was her 1 year check up followed by a nap and a departure for my parents.
We’re already looking forward to their next visit in July!
