play date & hot house

After our naptime attempts, Michael got to have a play date! Britt Ericson and her mom, Katie, came over. Both the babies were in such a great mood and would just look at each other, then coo...so precious. Britt was born about 6 weeks before Michael, so they will be in the same grade. It was fun comparing mommy stories with Katie too.




Also yesterday, our electricity went off about 5:30. The whole west side of town went off. We didn't know how long it'd be off, so we decided to go eat in Hobbs and go to Home Depot. Michael did so good...he just sat there looking around at all the stuff on the walls and all the people going by. When we got home, the electricity still wasn't on, so we drove around for a while. It was funny to see that much traffic and all the people sitting out on their porches. We came back to the house about 8:00 or so and it still wasn't on. It was so hot in here. We stripped Michael down to a diaper and laid him on the floor. He was in such a great mood for being past his bedtime. We finally gave him a cool sponge bath (because we were told to ration our water and plus we couldn't see in the bathroom) and put him to bed with just a diaper on. I felt so bad for him. The electricity finally came back on about 9:30. I decided since we had the AC on that I'd go put PJ's on Michael. He never woke up! It was too cute. Anyways, we are enjoying our cool house today and him taking a pretty good nap! :) Maybe just maybe he's starting to get used to nap time in the crib...knock on wood!!

Here are a few pictures of the boy with no clothes on...




And...he has discovered his toes!!!
