First night away!

The daycare was closed for spring break last Thursday and Friday which gave everyone some much needed time off.  Thursday Korbyn and I went out to the lake and met up with some of our friends that were camping out there.  We were only there a few hours but she was SO good!  She loves being outside.  I put sunscreen on her, had that hat on her and we stayed in the shade whenever we could and she still got a little red!  I think she is going to be so fair-skinned, just like her momma :)

Colton and I had talked about going back out there Friday evening after he got off of work to just hang out for a little bit then head home.  I had already asked my mom if she could watch her for a few hours if we go out there so I was just getting stuff together that she would need for the rest of the evening.  When Colton walks in about 5:30 he said something about staying the night out there and we both jumped at the chance to have our first night away from our little angel.  That sounds really bad, but it's been over 4 months!!!  We love her dearly but mommy and daddy also need some time to themselves :)  My mom had so much going on that evening and the next morning that we decided to ask Colton's mom if they could keep her.  I felt so guilty and so awful for asking them to do that on such short notice, but like I said we were just so excited.  So after we got all that straightened out I had to change my mindset into packing overnight stuff for Colton and myself AND for Korbyn, which I've never had to do before so I kept thinking I was forgetting something!  I literally felt like I packed everything that we own for her. 

When we dropped her off it was harder than I thought it would be!  I didn't cry or anything but now that she's a little older and so much more responsive to us it made it really hard to walk out the door...especially because she was in such a good mood and smiling at everything!  When we were pulling away I told Colton "I already miss her!"  But we ended up having a great time that evening and the next day.  We picked her up about 4 that evening and that had to have been the longest day of my entire life.  If it was up to me we would have left as soon as we woke up lol!  Not really, but as soon as we woke up I wanted to hug her and give her a big kiss and I knew that we probably wouldn't leave for a while because all the guys woke up early and went fishing and didn't even get back until a couple of hours before we left.  So I'm definitely glad that we went and had a great time, but I missed her terribly!

 

 She's getting pretty easy to put down now that she can sleep on her tummy.  I just put her on her tummy and if she cries she's not ready to go to sleep, but if she's sleepy she'll either growl or kind of whine and rub her eyes and eventually just puts herself to sleep.  When we went down to the water I knew she was going to be getting sleepy in a little bit so we took her stroller and laid a towel down in it and made it lay flat and she went right to sleep!

I just laid a blanket down on the ground and she was out again!

 This is right before we walked out the door...see why it was so hard?!
