Lets see...whats new?
So saturday my sweet friend Molly and I decided to try out a new church, its called the downtown church. It is a branch off of a bigger church in des moines but it is only for people in their 20's (maybe early 30s?) Its in an old warehouse and frankly it looks more like a bar or an old art studio than a church. It was awesome! We will definetly be going back. ITs been so long since I have really felt like the message pertained to my life or that I was getting much from it. It was awesome. The music was fantastic, the lesson was very well done, everyone was super friendly and there was all sorts of people there (mohawks, peircings, preppy, single parents.) Molly and I talked about how you just feel excepted there, regardless. It was cool. We went to dinner at centro's before hand and then for coffee afterwards.

Sunday we just hung out. Matt and maria, rudy, myself and VE. I made dinner and we just sat around and watched football.

Today has been fun. I woke with a migraine but took medication right away and its been waring off quickly. VE slept ALL NIGHT LONG. She fell asleep at 6 and slept til 7:15. WAHOO!!! I was so excited. SHe hasnt done that in a long time. I have stopped giving her a bottle when she wakes up at night and will just let her fuss for a while and then if she's still upset I will someitmes walk around the room with her and put her back down before she falls asleep. Aparently she forgot how to self sooth without the bottle because since I stopped, she is doing great.
We played with Play-dough this moring for the first time ever. It was so fun to watch her. She sat in her highchair for 40 MINUTES and had the most fun Ive ever seen her have...squeezing it, making balls, conecting the balls, putting them on top of each other, picking htem up with the spoon, putting them in a cup. I just gave her two colors (yellow and orange) and you could really just see her little mind working. She didnt once try to mix the colors!? She was so enthrawled with it! I was hesitant to do it thinking she might be a little young but I picked some up at the store the other day when it was on sale and I am so glad I did. I gave her a slotted spoon and she would make designs in the dough and then try so hard not to mess them up when she was playing with them. Too funny. It is exciting to see the things she gets into and the things she could care less about. We got done playing with the playdough and washed up and then she grabbed my hand and said "night night mama" and started walking back to the bedroom, so now she's asleep.
I have her 15 month apt tomorrow morning...right in the middle of the inauguration speech. Darnit! Ill update you all on that though. I always have lots to ask at those apts.!

Have a great week everyone!
