In brief - with pictures

Today Penelope got a blanket and covered her sleeping brother with it. Too fricking cute.

Today was also the first time that I left Griffin at my parents. Really the first time I've left him at all - I went to a student teaching interview a month after his birth but that only lasted an hour and a half or so. This time we left him for over 3 hours to go see a movie. We saw "Grown Ups" which was terrible (although funny in parts), but it was nice to have a little break from the craziness of two under two and spend some time with my husband :)

Soon I'll be ready to leave him for an overnight... well, in a month or so. Maybe two.

Today was also another fun pool day at Olivia's (P's friend). We had a metric ton of fun, P is now a bronzed goddess and yesterday Griffin went swimming for the first time (well, I stuck his feet & butt in - he was not impressed).

We're so lucky to have so many amazing mommy & baby friends (and daddies too!!). I honestly don't know how I would get through without them. They keep us busy and make the days so much more fun! Here are some pictures of Penny and her friends.
