Through my volunteer work for Kappa Alpha Theta, I attend a leadership conference each February with the Duke chapter's executive officers. After lots of weather-related drama this year, I ended up spending a very short weekend in DC with the Theta girls. This was my first overnight, baby-free trip and I was really looking forward to luxuriating in the heavenly Marriott bed. I only wish I had been able to spend more than 6 hrs sleeping!
Josh did the single dad thing while I was gone this weekend and had fun celebrating with his family at a birthday party for our nephew Dawson.
At the party with Grandma LIt was an exhausting weekend for both of us, but Sunday night ended with some spectacular developments. At long last, Madeline is finally getting her first tooth! And she doubly surprised us by suddenly crawling like a pro -- with her interest in walking, we figured she was going to skip the crawling phase! With tomorrow being her 9 month check-up, I guess she decided to mark a few more milestones off the list before seeing the pediatrician.
