Saturday afternoon, we decided to take Ella to Jumpin' Jax, an indoor, inflatable activity playground. She was scared at first - even almost into tears. But, once she saw her daddy slide a couple of times, she was ready to try it. And boy, once she started, she was non-stop for about 2 hours. I think it was more than Clint had bargained for :) It sure was fun watching them though! To top the evening off, we all went out for pizza afterwards. It was just a great family afternoon.
Mary Catherine is just growing by leaps and bounds. I can even tell here lately how much longer she is. She loves her hands - she is completely fascinated with them. She loves to shove her fists in her mouth. She will also bring her hands together now and play with her fingers. I have noticed that she will do that more when she is getting tired. She also likes to stick her tongue out - as you can see in one of the pictures below.
Although all of my time with her is just a special as it can be, I had the most memorable moment Sunday morning. She was rustling around in bed and just couldn't get settled. I went in and picked her up. As soon as she was in my arms and her head was on my shoulder, I could feel her take a deep breath. Her movements instantly were less jerky and I could just feel her relax and take slow, soft breaths. It was such a blessed moment. I had tears in my eyes and just had to give thanks to God for that mommy moment.
Just a sweet video of Mary Catherine and Mommy hanging out. She doesn't really give you one of those big smiles in this video, but this one was Clint's favorite. She is just sweet laying there and looking around.
Looks like she is getting used to her new seat. We sure enjoyed our visit last week-end. Tell Clint hello and give Ella a hug for us.
