Girls and Babies Weekend: Day 1

My two best girlfriends came to visit this weekend! Both are college buddies from Harding and we don't get to see each other very often! Kristen, lives in Tampa right now and we see each other on average about once a year. I think the last time we saw each other was last May. We were both pregnant! It's been a busy year for the two of us! And my friend Meghan lives in Memphis but she is a nurse at Le Bonheur and has crazy hours, so we don't get to see each other very often, even though we live so close!  Kristen and her baby Ian flew into Memphis Thursday evening (she left Kate at home this time) and Meghan picked her up and they stayed in Memphis Thursday night. Friday after a fun maternity photo shoot (Meg is about 31 weeks pregnant and Kristen is am amateur photographer) and a trip to Target to get Meghan's baby registry going they finally made it to Jonesboro- they only got a little lost. . .

We stayed in Friday night and I cooked supper and we just hung out. The baby boys cracked us up! Ian is almost 7 months and Stratton is 10 1/2 months. They acted like little boys act, I guess. Head butting like little rams and taking things from each other, and wanting to grab at each other.  Stratton was a little more aggressive than Ian, but then he is crawling and Ian is just on the verge, so he has a little advantage over him! Stratton loved Ian's hair. He wanted to pull it and touch it. I assume out of curiosity, Like "What is this stuff and why don't I have some?!"

   

We put Kristen and Ian in Stratton's room, since there is a twin bed in there already. And set Meg up a room in the office with the wonderful airbed Jarrod bought while we were in the hospital during my pregnancy. And we put Stratton in the pack and play in our room. It really worked out well! I was surprised that Stratton slept though the night and we didn't wake him up when we went to bed.
