What a week!

Well the little miss and me had a wonderful busy week.  It all started last Friday actually.  We went to visit my friend Sarah and her adorable new baby boy, Brett.  She is such a cute new mommy and Brett is still just a tiny little bundle!  He is just precious and looks so much like his daddy.  It was such fun visiting with them and hearing more about his birthday.  It made me think about Blakely's birthday and how long ago that seemed.  I miss holding a tiny newborn.  It's a good thing I have friends that have and are having babies so I can get my fill, cuz my baby is huge now!  

Monday rolled around and I went to visit more old friends--the Mrs. Nelson's.  Katie and Carla are long-time buddies that I had not seen in FOREVER.  They are best friends and married to brothers, it doesn't get more perfect!  Carla just got back from her honeymoon and made a ridiculously stunning bride.  Katie is pregnant with her first baby boy and has just the cutest little belly ever!  We talked about pregnancy and L&D and I probably scared them to death with all of the gory details...what are friends for?!  Seriously though, it was so fun to see them again.  I'm not sure how we let so much time go by, but I'm glad that I'll be seeing more of them...we already have our next "date" scheduled :)

Wednesday, Blakely and I went to Athens to participate in UGA's Psychology Infant Lab for a study on visual recognition.  She basically just watches a TV screen and they track her eye movements to see if she prefers new images to old ones.  What is so cool about it is that I used to run the same lab when I was a student there.  Kind of a full-circle moment for me!  I also visited some of my friends from the vet I used to worked at.  I really miss Athens and all of the awesome people there.  It was also really fun to show Blakely where she will go to school one day :)

Friday, my sister-in-law, nephew, friend, Blakely and I all loaded up and went to the ZOO!!  I love the zoo!  It was C.O.L.D.  I had to bundle Blakely up like a little burrito.  I made her a hat just for the occasion, it's adorable.  What was so great about going when it was chilly out was that there was no one there and all of the animals were feelin' frisky and running around all over the place.  It was so cute to watch my nephew, Grady, stare at all the animals.  Blakely didn't appreciate the zoo as much as the rest of us, but she still had a blast.  She's a happy girl no matter where she is!  Here are a few pics... enjoy!



My happy girl, having a blast at the zoo!





I love the way Blakely is staring at Grady and his sucker!



I ended this busy week doing what I love most...hanging out with my husband and baby.  Jeff is just the BEST.  He's a wonderful hubby, he's always making me laugh and always seems to know exactly what I'm thinking.  But most af all he's an amazing father.  There is nothing that warms my soul more than to see those two together.
