Party Time

Well, Dad's going to get back to find a pair of raccoon-eye loved ones at home.  Bubeaner and Momma continue to have problems sleeping through the night.  We are not sure why Bubeaner is not sleeping through the night: not getting his full afternoon nap, needing two naps instead of one, missing Dad?  We are not sure how he is going to react to Daylight Saving Time.  Momma's reasons are missing Dad and Bubita growing and growing and growing.  There really just isn't a comfortable position anymore.  Not sure how we are going to spend the next 3.5 months...

The morning was spent quietly at home.  We really did not have to be anywhere until lunch time when we picked up aunt Lari at the airport.  Bubeaner was delighted to see her.  We indulged in a delicious lunch.  The problem was that we also OVERindulged in the French pastries available at the restaurant.  It was hard to resist since Dad had enticed Momma in the wee hours of the morning texting details of the delicious chocolate croissant he had enjoyed for breakfast.  (This is not a great idea when there is a baby in the tummy....  overindulging may lead to major, all-day-long indigestion.)

After a late nap time, we rushed to little Lauren's 1-year birthday party.  Bubeaner used to get really happy when he saw her picture and insisted on giving the "bebe's" picture kisses.  He was indifferent when he first saw her.  But that changed after we were there a little while.  He then insisted on sitting next to her when she opened her presents.  Bubeaner even showed her all the details of one of her new dolls.  And Lauren also appeared to enjoy Bubeaner's presence.

He also found plenty of books to read. 

Bubita continues her belly Taekwondo work outs.  She'll probably be ready for her black belt at birth.  She has also modified her dramatic reaction to hiccups.  And more importantly, she allowed aunt Lari to feel her move!  Bubeaner was not as cooperative when he was in the belly despite the fact that aunt Lari had spent the entire summer with us.
