I guess we celebrated a day early ;)
On Saturday we went to a bookstore to find books for Aislin but everything there was kind of expensive. We decided on two baby books but I couldn't let go of this cookbook I saw when I first walked in. Adding it to Aislin's books would've made it all too expensive, and since I felt guilty about wanting to spend so much money, I asked Tim if I could get it for my birthday. He said my birthday was still too far away...so why not get it for Mother's Day? Me: *Big grin* Whee!
Later that day, we got a message on our answering machine from someone who was trying to deliver something to our door, but he didn't know which one was ours...so Tim called back and asked what was going on. Turns out the delivery guy had the wrong address (SE instead of SW), and that he was from a floral arrangement company. I kept asking Tim if he was sending me flowers and he kept denying it, saying, "Do I look like the kind of guy to send flowers?" I knew the answer to that before he asked it, but I didn't know who else it would be from. When I finally got the flowers and opened the card, I saw they were from my aunt and uncle :) No one has ever sent me flowers before and I thought it was the sweetest thing :D
When I went to get Aislin out of her crib she didn't seem as eager as usual to be picked up, so I let her sit and play for a little while...which is when I realized she was actually eyeing her binkie and trying to move closer to it. She pushed herself forward, got her knees down and slowly coordinated her arms and legs to move together. She crawled across her crib mattress until she reached her binkie!Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, I put her on the floor and set her binkie a few feet in front of her. I did this at least twice, and each time she slowly crawled towards it!This video was taken in the living room where Tim could watch her, too.
A friend from church, who's also been babysitting Aislin, saw this dress at the store
one day and couldn't resist; and then her daughters spotted these white open-toed shoes and wanted to get those for her, too! So Aislin was well-prepared for church this Sunday :)The funny thing is that when I was done dressing her, she got really excited and started patting her dress. I put her in front of the mirror so she could see the entire outfit--dress, pink stockings and white shoes--and she made a big smile, kicked her legs out and waved her arms. When I told this to our friend at church, she said, Isn't it funny when they know they look pretty? Even baby girls can feel like princesses!
