St. Louis Weekend

WHEW!!!!! What a crazy weekend!!! Hopey got to meet her great-grandma Schell for the first time on Saturday! We left for St. Louis Friday afternoon, and Hopey decided to scream for us all the way there...it was so beautiful... Anyway, once we got to the hotel, Hopey decided to let all of the guests hear how lovely her scream really is. She ended up sleeping for a couple of hours that night, but she was up bright and early to begin her chorus of screams again. We finally figured out that she was having tummy trouble again, gave her some medicine, and she was an angel for the rest of the weekend! On Saturday, we headed over to my grandma's house so that Hopey could finally meet her other great-grandma. Those two hit it off instantly, and it was such a super day!

Of course we had to have our four generations picture, so here it is! By the way, many people thought I had given up on my contacts because I've been wearing my glasses so often lately, but I didn't. I've had an eye infection for weeks now, and it just won't go away!!
Saturday evening, we got to meet up with the whole Schell "gang", and we had such a fantastic night! All of the babies got to play together, and I got to catch up with my wonderful cousins and uncles!

We got home Sunday evening, and Hopey was a mess from no sleep, so we tried to put her down for a very late nap. I heard her in her room talking and giggling up a storm, so I peaked in at her, and this is what I found! She just learned how to pull herself up tonight!! I thought it was so cute, but then I realized it might be time to move the mattress down! Anyway, we had a really wonderful weekend with our awesome family, but I really need to get myself to bed! Have a super week!!

She's such a happy baby! I know what you mean about lowering the mattress. We had to do that a couple of months ago. I'm also scared that I might have to take out the bumper now because I think Taylor is using it to step on to try to climb out of the crib!!!! They are such escape artists!
