I am so behind on my posting! Yikes! Last Friday, Aunt Tara came to visit with Lainey and James. We had such a great time! We started out at Bubba Gumps, where everyone met Jack for the first time. James and Lainey were enamored with Jack. They kept touching him and rubbing his head. Lainey was such a big girl and even held Jack for a long time.
Then we went to the Children's Museum downtown. What a fun place! There are six different rooms that each have a theme. James loved the ball room (naturally), while Lainey enjoyed the pirate and grocery store rooms. Jack enjoyed himself as well. The cutest little laugh I've ever heard!
That evening, Tara's mom took the kids and Justin agreed to watch Jack for a few hours while we went to dinner. It started out wonderfully and we were having a great time. Drinks and pizza and lots of catch up. Then I get a phone call from Katie saying that Jack was having a hard time breathing (Katie is not one you want to deliver news...any kind of news :) ...but especially not-so-good news, she just makes it sound so much worse!) I practically jump out of my chair and mow down the waitress for the check. I call Justin who fills me in saying that Jack is upset and crying and inconsoleable. Justin had tried calling me several times and even tried calling his mom and finally my mom to get ideas on what to do. At one point, Jack was in his car seat and Justin was ready to take him to the ED!
Tara and I rush home to find Jack quiet as a mouse in Justin's arms. You could tell he had been crying though. He had a glazed over look. Then Tara picks him up and Jack lights up, smiling and talking and just a social butterfly. It was as if she had rescued him! :) Very funny! Poor Justin was traumatized by the entire event and vowed never to watch him again. Kidding, he didn't say that. But he talked about how terrible it was for the next several days.
Jack's face in this next picture almost says," I knew I could get him to call mom back home!"
Next time, we'll just have to make sure there is plenty of thawed milk and that everyone is aware of where it is! So much for mom's first girls night out. It was fun while it lasted :) I can't say that I minded one bit getting home a little early to snuggle my sweet fella. I just LOVE HIM!
And my favorite picture of the entire day is above. Lainey pushing Jack. I said, "Strike a pose, Lainey!" and this was what I got! :) She is a hoot! Caption for this pic is "Girls just want to have FUN!" Love my friends and their babies and hope it's not so long before I see them again!
