Rolling over and the Aquarium

Last weekend was lots of fun and Leighton even had a first! Yep, Leighton rolled over!  The daycare had actually seen her do it on Wednesday (week before last) and then she did for us all weekend long... She can roll from her back to her stomach like a champ but then after a while when she wants to go back she gets pretty frustrated as she hasn't figured out how... She likes to move! Stationary is not this girls thing... =) I didn't have a really good picture of her rolling over but here is one of her stopping half way to watch a little t.v....  P-Paw and Bobba also came up for the weekend so they got to see it for the first time too! Her Mi Mi wasn't able to make it but sent the movie Finding Nemo which was really cute and what she is watching in the picture below... I am getting to see some of these great animated movies I have never seen before with Leighton's arrival....

Bobba and P-Paw didn't make it on Friday before Leighton had to go to bed but Bobba was up early the next morning with her and we had a great day... Jeff played in a golf tournament all weekend so he didn't get to hang out much... It didn't stop of from having some fun ourselves... =)

I love Bobba!

I love P-Paw!

Sunday morning after we got up, had breakfast, and got ready, P-Paw, Bobba, Leighton and I headed to the Dallas aquarium... I was pretty excited to check it out and Leighton sure likes the fish and Mi Mi and P-Paws so we thought she might too! The first part of the aquarium is actually like a zoo... Lots of birds, monkey, snakes, reptiles, penguins and even a sloth!  There were a couple of otters we saw in the beginning that were chasing each other in the water and screaming... Leighton was not a fan of this and thought she should start screaming too!  She was also hungry so we pulled over to the side and had a snack before we were off again... It was nap time for the rest of the trip until we got to the aquarium part... She really liked the bigger fish and colorful ones... Whatever was easy to see she watched...

Bobba the Pirate! This bird loved her as much as we do!

Nap time with the Penguins!

Check out this sea creature! The octopus was one of my favs...

The Zoo Crew!

Bobba wanted to take 2 of these home for her yard!

Watching the manatee with P-Paw

Look at the Manatee!

It was a long but fun weekend! After lunch with Jeff, P-Paw and Bobba headed back to Franklin... Jeff and Leighton watched a little Sunday golf and took a nap... The perfect end to the perfect weekend!

Stretching after a fun weekend!

Thanks P-Paw and Bobba for a fun weekend... Sorry that we didn't make it to the Twisted Root Burger but we will next time... Mi Mi and Aunt Lori, we missed you! Thank you for the movie and pajamas!

Busy Busy Busy

Well, the Goodsells had one busy week last week!  Leighton had her 4 month appointment on Monday and she is pretty close to being off the charts... =) She weighted 16.1 lbs and was 26 inches long... 97% in both weight and height... I took off to stay at home with her in case the shots were too much to handle but she did great... No fever and so happy all day! 

Happy Birthday to Leighton!

We also got the thumbs up to start trying cereal... I was so excited about this step until we actually tried it.... No fun... She is not a fan but we will keep trying until she gets it down... Not sure if she is not a fan of the cereal, spoon, or if it is just the change... I am sure that she will get the hang of it sooner rather than later... If not we will just have a 16 year old getting her driver's license and drinking a bottle... Ha! 

She did find the spoon interesting.

However, everything that went in came out!

We also had our friends, The McClures, in town on vacation... So, we meet up with Mike, Heather, Quinn, and Wesley at Mi Cocina for dinner on Thursday night... We all had such a good time hanging out and look forward to keeping the girls together as much as possible over the coming years... I would love a future annual vacation for The Goodsells and The McClures together once our families are complete... =) 

Wesley, Quinn, & Leighton

Leighton was such a good girl!  Especially considering it was WAY past her bed time....

She was so tired, she actually fell asleep before we headed out to daycare on Friday! This is the first time she has worn herself out... I loved it!

Then we had SiSi, T-Paw, and Mammo in town for a visit... They came in to hang out with Leighton on Saturday night while Jeff and I went out to dinner to kick off the Enterprise new fiscal year... We all had a great time... Thanks, SiSi, T-Paw, and Mammo! 

Hanging out Saturday morning while Mommy caught up on some much need sleep...

More swimming for Leighton

She had such a great time and she loves her "links".

Okay, I think it is time for a nap.  =)

Mammo and SiSi brought some goodies.  She wore her new "sneaker" socks on a jog Sunday morning.  Very cute!

If she could only figure out what to do with that arm! =)

Sue's Visit

This weekend we had the pleasure of having Sue up for a visit... Not only did she spend some quality time hanging out with Leighton, she and I were able to go to dinner and a movie thanks to Jeff watching little bit... We had a great time catching up and talking about the wonderful life of a mom... =) She is currently helping to plan her daughter Jennifer's wedding to a great young man here in Fort Worth so I am sure that I will get to see lots of her soon! Thanks Sue for a great weekend and I look forward to doing it again soon...
