Friday Fun.

Yesterday was a super fun day for us. Lots of firsts I have to say. My good & super sweet friend, Brittany, offered to stay with Finn for a bit while I went out to do whatever....so I took her up on it! I had a voucher for a gel manicure that I needed to use up and was wondering how I would do that with a little one; this was the perfect opportunity. I was only gone for about an hour, but it was perfect. 

This is a picture of Finn with one of his first baby-sitters. Thanks Brittany!

And this is the result of my outing. What you don't see is the Starbucks Americano in the other hand! 

And yes, my ring finger is a different color. I saw a friend do that and thought it was pretty cool & worth a try. First gel manicure...love it!

After that we headed over to our friends' Carly & Louise's house for play group. This was both of our first play group ever! Super fun....well maybe more fun for me to get to socialize with the other moms/friends! Finn sure was tired after that and easily went down for a long nap. 

Later that evening, Minnie Finnie stayed home alone with Daddy for the first time while I went to Girls' Night Out (actually they had their own first Guys' Night Out--went to a local pub for a bit...). I'd offered to take Finn with me, but Lyle said he'd be fine staying with him. Score for me! A couple bottles for Finn means a glass of wine or two for me! Lyle did such a great job putting him down to bed the other night, I wasn't worried one bit....although he didn't quite make my desired bedtime last night....

Lyle wanted to wear this Hawaiian shirt thinking it looked "Dadish" and put Finn in a
coordinating outfit. You can't see the surf boards on his shirt in this picture. We thought
we'd capture a shot of their first night out together. 

The weather has finally given us a break here the last couple days with overcast skies, thunderstorms & temperatures in the 70s. I actually wore pants for the first time since Finn was born. They are tighter than my usual fit, but I can still wear them. I've got a ways to go though.

What a fun day for us both, I hope today is just as much fun but that I get to spend a little more time with the Finster. Between napping and leaving him throughout the day, I sure did miss him. Oh how I am in love with the little guy. He's my precious Little.

Oh, and FYI...yesterday we were 7 weeks. Sigh. Smile. Cry. Smile.
