Bachelorette Madness

Chinn's bachelorette party was actually a lot of fun. I was a little nervous about it, because it was on my first weekend back to work and I knew it was going to be a challenging weekend already for me, leaving Davis and all. I was actually lucky enough to get the day off even though I didn't have PTO to take it off. Kayli was nice enough to just let me take an unpaid day for it, because I was a bridesmaid for the wedding so I needed to be there.
It was an extremely hot day, and we started with a boat cruise on the St. Croix river in Stillwater. Thank goodness the ship had an air-conditioned area, because that is where we spent the majority of our time. It was crazy hot. We did go up on the top deck to get some pictures and hang out for awhile. All around it was a good time. 
In between the cruise ship and dinner I was able to run home, change clothes, pump, and give Davis a few kisses before I had to head back out to dinner in downtown Minneapolis! I met the girls at the hotel and we hung out/they got ready, for a bit before we went out for dinner. I don't remember where we went to dinner now, but I ended up getting sushi (the Vegas roll) which was super good, so I know I was one happy lady! 
After dinner we headed back to the hotel to have some drinks, and play some games before heading out. I kept trying to hint to Jenny that I wasn't going to be able to stay very long, because of the whole pumping thing/new mommy thing I guess, and she seemed pretty annoyed but eventually let it go. I felt really bad, but I wasn't staying at the hotel so I couldn't drink much because I had to drive home and had to work at seven in the morning so it just felt silly to put myself through the stress of going out when I knew that she was going to have a better time without me anyway.

Laughing and Smiling machine!

   Today Davis and I went over to Aunt Kimmy's new house to hang out for a bit. I think I was busy doing something when I noticed that Kim was taking a selfie with Davis, and he was totally smiling for it. I hadn't noticed him smile too much before this, except for the occasional sleeping/involuntary smile, so I was so excited to see him so aware of his surroundings. I brought him into the bathroom to show him himself in the mirror and low and behold he started smiling and laughing like crazy. Kim video tapped it, which I was really thankful for, because I could watch the video over and over and never get tired of it. He was so in tune with everything going on, and the more I laughed and smiled the more he did as well. It was such a fun day.
