Night Away From Home

Last night we headed to Cedar Rapids to spend the night in a hotel. We had a lot of fun. Emma has wanted to go swimming ever since the snow melted! We made plans to go and meet my college roommate's baby boy in Urbana today, so we thought we'd treat Emma to a night of swimming. When we got there Emma was hardly even in the room before she had all her clothes coming off to put her swimming suit on!! Then the little turkey wouldn't go in the pool any further than the steps!

I slept with Emma that night. By 5 am, Emma was lying perpendicular to me, at times with her feet pushing in to my back...other times with her feet ON ME!!! I told JC I was never sleeping in the same bed with her again. My back is killing me tonight!! This morning, before we headed for Mindy's & Matt's house, JC took Emma swimming again, but only after she promised she would actually swim! And she did...JC had her jumping into his arms from the edge of the pool and everything. Hopefully she'll get more used to the water now that we have aquatic center passes for this summer!!


We got to meet Jensen today. He's such a little cutie. Emma loves babies, so she had fun talking to him and swinging him in his swing. We also took a walk and went to a couple of garage sales, in which Emma came home with lots of "new" summer clothes. We had a great visit, I got my baby fill for the weekend, we had some lunch, then headed for home! Overall we had a great day!
