Surprise Visit

This weekend grandma and grandpa (tom's parents) came for a surprise visit from oregon! I was waiting for tom to get home so i had some of the blinds open (this was saturday evening) and i looked out to see if he was coming in and it was his mom and dad! They drove all the way from Oregon to come see us for only a few hours! Tom was especially surprised when they were here when he got home from work.

That night we went out to applebees and Dulany did so well. Lately she doesnt like being in her carseat (if not in the car) for very long and she stayed in it with smiles and giggles the whole time. This was good because right when they came she was def. acting like a mamma's girl. She didnt want to be held by anyone. i guess thats what happens when shes at home with only me all day and grandparents/other family members live far away! so hopefully this wont last a long time! That night we went to their hotel and went swimming (i noticed that this is pretty much tradition anytime anyone stays in a hotel!) The water was a bit cooler for Dulany so we went into the hottub (which wasnt as hot as we thought) so dulany joined us all and LOVED it...she was just so calm. Maybe it was because it wa spast her bedtime and she was tired and the warm water and bubbles made her feel good.

Early sunday morning we woke up early to meet them for free breakfast and chatted for awhile before they left (like i said, short sweet trip!) We were there for 6-7:30sh and Dulany was up since 5:30.. so when we got home she crashed.

Lets just say since she's been on a sleep schedule this past week, and it getting a little out of whack (i think more about wakingup early and staying up for awhile) really hit her and we had probably the worst day with her yesterday (not to help that i was getting sick/cold) She was having such a hard time trying to take a nap (only naping for 30 min at the most) and screaming uncontrollably. It was like we had a colicky baby or something. It was quite frustrating. Last night she did it again when going to sleep. She has slept through the night since 7 weeks and she woke up 3 times last night. It was outrageous. I just hope today we get back on schedule and she sleeps well with naps. She's been doing good so far!

it was so much fun having grandma and grandpa come visit! it was so nice to see family again. We're so excited for them (and leslie) to come for Thanksgiving. We wish kaylee could come too but she has to work : ( Thanks for making the short trip! miss you guys already.











here is a short video of dulany in the bath. she looves splshing and kicking but of course she was too fixated on the camera. shes usually gigging and squeeling.
