Fabulous Las Vegas!!

I know that this blog is primarily for me to record the events in my child's life, but I just had to share a little bit about CJ and my weekend in Las Vegas! We were invited for one of CJ's best friend, Curt, wedding (CJ was also asked to be a groomsman). We flew out there with 2 other couples and started off the weekend by taking a limo ride (with champange and roses) to our hotels! (Those guys sure know how to charm their wives!) CJ and I went (yesss) shopping and then played in a poker tournament (I didn't win but was voted most fun at my table), and then we went to check out this club at the top (64 floors I think) of Mandalay Bay called The Mix. Other than the awesome view (and really interesting bathroom...I'll tell ya'll later) it wasn't "all that". However, we met up with the rest of the wedding party later at Rum Jungle and let's just say "Mama was liberated!" Saturday CJ and I walked down to the new Steve Wynn casino, Encore, about a 4 mile hike it seemed, and then went to the wedding and reception (which was beautiful and fabulous). We went out that night too, but I was a little sleepy (having only had 4 hours sleep the 2 nights before) and turned in early. All in all it was a great trip and we are looking forward to making it an annual trip with this group! (And anyone else who is interested is invited too!)

We Made It!!!!

Well, it is Monday and I just have to let everyone know that I made it through the weekend!! (In case some of you forgot, I had been crazy with worry/guilt about leaving Jillian overnight (2) for the first time). I must say that it wasn't as bad as I was expecting! I did miss Jillian (VERY MUCH) and I cried a little when I went to kiss her good-bye at 4 in the morning on Friday (she was sleeping so sweetly) and I only went through (ALL) my pictures on my camera once (thank you Holly for enduring me). We were crazy busy on Friday and most of Saturday with wedding stuff and of course partying and gambling, so my mind was pre-occupied. Everyone was so great to me and let me ramble on an on about Jillie and silly little things. Anyhow, I did it, and even though I am not anxious to leave her again, I must say that I know now that I can!

Short Cuts

Jillian's favorite way of getting across the living room is by going through the coffee table. Yes, I said through! This is a practice that we have highly discouraged our dog, Belle, to do ( I am fanatical about keeping my table pristine...ask Erin and Shiloh), and now our baby is doing it and of course it is just too darn cute to make her stop!

Daddy' Girl

This is what happens when Daddy gives Jillie her bath and does her hair!

Splish, Splash!

I guess every child has those embarrassing bath-time pictures that their parents drag out when they have their first date...My poor child is having her's posted on the internet! Of course for now (and to me always) they are udderly adorable!

License and Registration, Please

How many do you say she has had? Nah...She was just pigging out at IHOP! Couldn't resist posting. :)

Walking!
