 Happy Birthday to Brianna on Wednesday!

I was playing around with Mary and I was pretending to eat her toes.  When I stopped, she pushed her foot against my mouth like she didn't want me to stop.  It made me laugh.  Then, the next day, I gave her little toes kisses while she was crying and she was comforted by that.  She's such a sweet girl.

I felt like I had a lot to do on Monday, so I was going to skip napping in the afternoon while Mary slept, but she decided she wanted to have a snuggly nap, so I snuggled with her and rested instead.

While I was pregnant, I often felt Mary's little foot poking out my right side.  She usually has her left leg extended, so I'm convinced that her left foot was the foot poking out.

Saturday night, Mary had a gas bubble that was really hurting her and she was super tired, so we spent the whole night trying to calm her down.  Paul eventually succeeded.  When she was calm enough, I fed her and put her to bed around 1 am. (she is usually asleep for the night between 8 and 9).  

Sunday was tiring but we had some friends, the Arbaroa's, come over after church.  They brought us some banana bread and stayed for a little bit to catch up.  It was good to see them.

Paul has spent a lot of time in lab to prepare for his WIPS (work in progress seminar) where he presents his research to the whole department for the first time on March 9th.  

I have felt like a phone zombie lately, so I have deleted my social media apps in an effort to be more present with Mary and Paul. So if you message me and I don't respond on those apps, that's why <3
