Great weekend!

It went by quickly but we got a lot done!!

Friday, January 19th was Russ' 34th birthday. George and Tilly kindly offered to babysit so we could have our first "date" since Jessica was born! We went to Mantra Restaurant in downtown Burlington for some YUMMY Indian food - it was great to have a night alone (we promised to have a date once a month) but we did miss Jess, even though we weren't going to see her when we got home. She was in bed by 7:50 pm and didn't peep the whole time we were gone! Thanks again to George & Tilly for letting us have an evening alone!!

Jessica and I also had our first Salsa Babies class on Friday. Imagine a dance studio full of 20 young moms with babies strapped to their chest swaying their hips. Yup, it's a weird sight, but nevertheless 6 weeks of fun.

On Saturday Russ watched Jess so I could have some "Mommy time" and get my haircut - in an attempt to mask the major postpartum hair loss I've been experiencing! =) Then we visited Mom and Dad, who just got home from a 2 week trip to Orlanda, FL. Of course they came home bearing gifts, including a pair of sunglasses for Jessica!!



On Sunday we went to Laura's place (which looks awesome with all the paint!!) for a birthday lunch for Russ. The food was DELICIOUS!! Jessica came dressed up in a new outfit that she received from Barb (a Trillium friend of Tilly's). She looks so stylish in her embroidered jeans, I couldn't help but take MANY photos!

Jessica also decided to show off how loud she could "talk", so she had our full attention the whole afternoon. It's pretty cute...but also quite ear-piercing at times, so luckily her "screeching" is only temporary (we didn't hear any of it today)!

And to top off this great weekend, Jessica slept through the night!! She was in bed at 8:00 pm, had a "dream feed" at 11:00 pm and got up this morning at 8:30!! Way to go Jess....hmmm....will she do it again tonight?!?!
