Our First Night Away

Chad & I finally had our first night away from Scarlett since she was born.  Chad planned our first night away to be on Saturday in Oklahoma at Choctaw Hotel & Casino to celebrate my birthday.  We started off by heading into Durant meeting up with Alex for some lunch.  Chad & I hadn't seen Alex in a while so we were really looking forward to hanging out for a bit.  After lunch we headed to the hotel to check in.  The hotel is really nice and the casino is pretty big.  We gambled for a little while and then headed back to the room to get ready for dinner.  While looking around the hotel I found this:

It is "Waste Reducing Exfoliating Body Cleaner."  On the back it says that it reduces the waste of the center of the bar that is never used.  It's Choctaw's way of going green.  Why not just put a smaller bar of soap?

We had  a great time at Choctaw and enjoyed seeing Alex.  Our night away was great and the break was much needed.  I will not lie.....I could not wait to get home to this:

6 Months

Scarlett turned 6 months on the 19th!  WOW....I can't believe she's already 6 months old!  She's growing and changing everyday.  She weighs 15 pounds, is just a little over 2 feet tall & has 2 very sharp teeth!  She is pulling up on all fours and rocking back & forth very well.  In fact she's doing it so well she likes to do it in her cradle when she should be sleeping.....It's too much fun for her to be sleeping!  When she's not trying to figure out what to do while on all fours, her favorite place to be is outside in her "swing."  It's actually a jumper that's supposed to hook around the trim of a door opening but we use it outside and she LOVES it! 

I had a wonderful 1st Mother's Day celebrating with my family at the house.  I was pregnant last year on Mother's Day and had NO CLUE how special this day would be.  I absolutely love being a mom and a wife. 

Swilly.....

...that's what we call her!  One day Chad was trying to say sweetie or silly and it came out swilly.  So, Swilly has stuck and that seems to be her "nickname."

This past Saturday, Scarlett & I went to visit Jenna and her son Kason for a playdate.  The kids had a really good time playing and jabbering.  Scarlett wanted to eat Kason's head and Kason wanted to eat Scarlett's pacifier!  Neither one of them are around babies during the day so it's quite funny to see them interact with each other.
