So I didn't blog about our first date night about a month ago because it was a major catastrophe. I was running late (the norm these days) and wasn't able to properly get ready and of course I wanted to look halfway decent since I never do anymore. I was also stressed because this was when Westyn was in her 2 hour per night crying phase, which has since diminished (yippee), and I was nervous for my parents, and most importantly it was the first time Troy and I were away from Westyn for more than 1 hour. We went to El T's and sat in the bar which was nice, and the we went and saw a movie. Throughout the movie I kept picturing Westyn's face and I COULD NOT stop thinking about her. The end of the movie couldn't have come faster and then to top it off, on the way home I was balling like a baby. DISASTERHowever...date night #2 which took place on Friday was just perfect. My Mother-in-law watched Westyn for the first time and Troy and I went to our annual Mariner's game (awesome picture above). We had the best, much needed night, and when we got home Westyn was asleep after a great first night with her Grandma. We have decided we are going on date nights twice a month, and maybe soon I will have enough courage to leave her for a night away...yikes.
On another note, Westyn is growing and maturing so much everyday it seems unreal how quickly the baby phases come and go. She is constantly smiling now and trying so hard to
laugh - they sort of come out as screams or coughs. I truly think we have secret conversations all day as she is babbling nonstop She loves to try and grab her toys & rattles on her Baby Einstein mat, and loves the music that comes out of her mobiles (plural because Katie is letting me borrow her funky mobile for a while, which Westyn is obsessed with. On one end we have the mobile that matches her crib bedding that plays nursery rhymes and on the other is the crazy one with all the colors and objects that plays Mozart and Bach - it is Westyn's crack). She is definitely developing a personality and gets bored very easily, I have become a champ at making up silly songs to keep her happy. To top it off she gets more and more beautiful every day and has the bluest eyes I have ever seen on a baby. Okay - there is the update my friends.
Here are some picture from the last week.

She is so precious! Glad you had a fun date night---
Had to laugh a little when I read about your 1st date night experience as it was a little like our first one minus the tears... I also can totally not imagine a night away but think you and Troy should take full advantage of the Grandmas and get out at least twice a month! Westyn is getting more gorgeous by the day-still can't figure out if she looks more like you or Troy, I think she's equal parts of both and can't wait to meet her. Speaking of, booked our flights for Oct 4-17th to Seattle.... x
So important to get out but also tough to do. She is getting so big. What a beautiful baby. Need to see her soon
She's getting so big!! I swear she will probably end up with the most gorgeous blue eyes considering how blue yours and Troy's eyes are. Glad to hear that date#2 went well.
So glad you guys got out for a fun date night! She is absolutely beautiful...can't wait to see you both on Sunday! :)
Love that picture with Kenai!
Love those pictures! Can't believe how fast she grows.
