Heehee.

Juliet is laughing! I was eating lunch today (if three pb&j's for lunch is wrong, I don't wanna be right) with her on my lap, and I made some sort of dumb noise, and she laughed. She's been doing it on and off for the past week, but today was the first time I was able to catch it on camera.

Pardon me, making a dork of myself, but one will submit to all sorts of humiliation to amuse a baby.


In not so amusing news, Juliet has also decided she prefers me to all others. While mildly flattering, it is extremely inconvenient. In fact, she got kicked out of the church nursery yesterday for her antics. She was all smiles and dimples and charming the nursery ladies when I dropped her off, and then 20 minutes later, my pager went off in the middle of our Sunday school class. When I went back to check on her, she was yelling at everyone, and the poor nursery ladies were totally frazzled. They handed her off to me, and no lie, she immediately stopped crying and smiled at them. Little stinker. She's also behaving similarly for Travis - getting fussy when he attempts to hold her. I'm not happy about this because - 1. It's frustrating for Travis, and he's starting to get a complex that his kid doesn't like him, and 2. It means she is my permanent hip accessory.

We had a nice weekend. Attended a kiddie birthday party Saturday, complete with bounce house, which Scott absolutely loved. And yesterday we wandered down to the lakefront and stumbled upon some sort of dog carnival thingamabob going on. There were a bazillion dogs there, much to Scott's delight. The kid loves dogs and thinks they're absolutely hilarious.

Also, my niece Christan was visiting this weekend with her sister Ashleigh, which was a treat. Christan is so great with the kids, and Scott loves her to death.

I'm going out for margaritas and Mexican food with my MOMS Club tonight, so Travis will be on his own with the kids. Please, send up some prayers for my poor husband.
