Playdate in Houston

We've had an incredible "early" weekend, that started yesterday with a trip to the doctor in Houston for me. Tony & Bailey accompained me, which meant a 6:45am wake-up time for Bailey. Tony & I figured she would go back to sleep on the hour and 45 minute trip to Houston but we were wrong. She ate raisins, drank her milk and had long discussions with the dalmation Spot which "lives" in our truck. Bailey behaved perfectly at the doctors office only pushing the alarm button in the room once. After the doctor's we headed to Aunt Carmen's house out in Old Katy for a visit with her & Baby Jacob who is almost three months old. We visited for a while, ate some lunch & then headed to the backyard to enjoy some swimming once Baby Jacob went down for a nap.

Aunt Carmen & Baby Jacob, we didn't get much swimming in before he woke up from his nap and wanted to join in the fun.

Baby Jacob chilling in his lounge chair watching Bailey go from the big pool to the baby pool (hot tub) and back again.

Bailey spitting water from the hot tub over the waterfall onto Daddy (Tony had just shown her this trick & she was quick to repeat it).

Bailey showing Baby Jacob how to use the toys on his lounger, afterall she had the same one when she was smaller.

After close to an hour & a half in the pool, it didn't take long for Bailey to fall asleep on the way home.

We had a fantastic visit with Aunt Carmen & Baby Jacob and we can't wait to go back and do some more swimming and visiting. It's hard to believe that Bailey it wasn't very long ago when Bailey was just as small as Jacob. Time sure flies! Once we arrived back in College Station, we had dinner at freebirds with Aunt Katie & headed home for a bath & an early bedtime.

After such a busy day yesterday one would think that Tony, Bailey & I would slow things down today but that just wasn't in the cards. Tony made breakfast tacos for breakfast and then my parents showed up around 1045am to pick Bailey up so Tony & I could head out to the Challenge Course to set up and run the high events for the Rice Soccer Team. Grandma and Grandaddy got the priviledge of taking Bailey to her friend Naomi's birthday party at the Children's Museum in Bryan. After several hours of high energy playtime Grandma, Grandaddy & Bailey returned to their home and everyone took a nap! Bailey had a great time at the party (sorry I don't have any pictures) and we can't wait to have more playdates with Naomi and her little sister Grace!

Tony & I finished at the Challenge Course around 315pm and headed home for showers & a quick rest before my parents brought Bailey home. Once Bailey got home we headed back out for mass since Tony is on shift at the fire department tomorrow. After mass we had our picture taken for the permenant parishoner get-to-know-you, then home for dinner, bath, storytime & hopefully an early bedtime for everyone.
