Last night we had a group of friends over to meet Elise. Elise just turned 1 month old! And this was her first party. As she's been getting a little more settled into her routines, we've noticed her fussy time of the day has characteristically been early evening (when our guests were over), so we were concerned that maybe she'd have a hard time with all the party stimulus and excitement. Not at all! Elise loved the attention and activity and stayed content. We were really happy to be able to share some of our pride and joy with our friends.
Our friends Jeff and Jayne brought their baby boy Kurt. Kurt is exactly a month older than Elise. The last time I saw Kurt was the day he was born, at the same hospital that Elise made her arrival at. It so cool to see the quick development that infants speed through, and how much change there is month-to-month. It was so neat to see them side by side, 2 month-old, 1-month old; boy-girl....
It was too cute! Couldn't help but think of how neat it will be down to the line to see these two meet up at the age when they can actually hold the concept that the other one is there- and interact socially. It was also really neat to see other people we've known for a while, now in the same parent-newborn roles and reality. Cheers to all our great friends, and cheers to these moms and their beautiful babies!
