Birthdays

April 1st marked my 29th birthday...and wow, I remember when I thought 29 was so old... and here I am, feeling so young, and that it is impossible that I'm so close to 30.  Granted, I can only imagine how impossible it must seem for my parents. AND, I know that in a blink of an eye, Maree will be there too.  I wanted to list all the things I've enjoyed during my 20s, but Marc insisted I wait until I'm officially 30 before I can reflect on this decade.  I think I was just hoping to just jump over this next birthday and list what I liked, but I suppose I'll wait until next April...

For my birthday, I was lucky enough to spend it with family! My in-laws were all in town and we went to a fabulous dinner...  nothing is better than family, great food, & a few cocktails - and having your baby be asleep once you get home! Here are a few pictures from that night:

My favorite dessert - Butter Cake!

The family 

Yes, I enjoyed a few martinis...

Someone else had a birthday this month too!! I didn't realize it at the time, but if I would have had Maree one day earlier.. we would have been exactly 6 months apart! While Maree didn't get to celebrate with a butter cake or a nice dinner... she did get to have a nice milk cocktail and some carrots - yummy!

So at 6 months, Maree is busy rolling and belly crawling/scooting everywhere... I think our coffee table will soon be devoid of "pretties" & the rest of the house baby proofed.  Her favorite toys are actually mommy & daddy's favorite toys too... She always wants Marc's remote control or cell phone, and she always tries to eat my kindle - such a funny girl.  Here are her 6 month pictures:

Starting to "lean" out -  19lbs & 28.5"... still wearing 12 month clothing!

This picture just cracks me up..
