Aunt Molly and Uncle Jay welcomed Jacob Orion Huie to the world today! Sounds like mom and baby are doing well and we can't wait to meet him! Mom and Dad taught me how to say "Hooray Molly" and "I love you Jacob." If they'll let me, I'll post a picture of him after we meet him :)
We had a great weekend! Mom and dad's 6th wedding anniversary was yesterday. They went to dinner and a show and I got to stay at home and play with Ms. Sharon! I woke up saying "Sharon, Sharon" this morning. Needless to say I had a wonderful time. Too bad I didn't sleep in a little later this morning, though.
Mom and dad told me that Uncle Steve and Aunt Angela *totally* surprised them and paid for their dinner as their wedding gift!!! That was SO nice of them and they really didn't have to! Mom and dad said that the looks on their faces when the waitress told them that dinner had been taken care of by Steve and Angela were PRICELESS. Their jaws were on the table and they couldn't stop talking about it all night. So my props go out to Steve and Angela - you've got mad game for pulling that one off and mom and dad REALLY appreciate it!
Today we drove down to Mt. Vernon. Mom had never been there and they had some cool festivities going on that dad wanted to see. It was hard to find parking, but once we did we had a really nice time. It was pretty hot and we didn't actually tour the mansion (there was an hour wait), but we walked all around and got to see the water (i.e. the Potomac). I also got to pet a mule (I thought he looked like a horse, but he had HUGE ears) and we saw horses and a few sheep. We had a blast and were all tired by the time we got home. Of course I had slept in the car on the way down there, so I didn't nap again at all this afternoon, much to mom's chagrin. All she wanted to do was nap, but no such luck. Even when daddy stayed with me so she could try to sleep I was so wound up and was shrieking and she couldn't sleep.
After throwing a tantrum because mom took my barrette away from me (I had pulled it out of my hair and was chewing on it), we went out to dinner at Red Robin. Mom and dad had huge burgers and I got stuck with a plate of spaghetti and some broccoli. I didn't even touch the spaghetti, but at least ate the broccoli and some of daddy's fries. Daddy's water had a lemon in it and I asked him for it. After taking a bite out of it, I exclaimed very emphatically "I lika dat lime!"
Then we went to see the fireworks at the Soccerplex near our house. Mom and dad had prepared me for the "boom boom," so I knew what to expect. The "secret" entrance that we always use was blocked off by the police, so we ended up making a U-turn and parking in a random church parking lot and walking over. It worked out well and we still had a pretty good view. We took some toys for me to play with and those kept me occupied while we waited for it to get dark. When the fireworks started, I got really excited! Mom and dad were afraid I'd be scared, but I had a wonderful time and was SO good, especially for being up s much past my bedtime. I kept saying "LOOK daddy!", "LOOK mommy!", "Boom, boom," "Baby see!" (as I held my baby doll up to see the fireworks) and "Blankie see!" Like they say all the time, I make mom and dad laugh :) Of course I fell asleep in the car on the way home and then chattered myself to sleep once mom got my jammies on. She's hoping again that I sleep in a little tomorrow, but chances of that are slim to none ;)
Hope you all had a Happy and Safe 4th! I certainly enjoyed mine and am so excited to be able to say Happy Birthday Jacob!
