Today was a fun day. I picked up Holly around 5:00 and we stopped at Joel's work to visit him. He is in a new office for the next 6 weeks to mingle with them and support the software he developed. So we got to see his new desk, and meet all the new people. Usually we visit the R&D group, all hard core programmers, but now he is sitting with the artists, so they all ran over to see Holly, and thought she was amazing. Two of them just had babies that were 8 and 9 months old, so we joked that we should arrange a playdate.

After a short visit Holly and I went home. While I was unloading the car I saw a mom walking with her baby who looked familiar, and she asked me, you are in swim class right? and I said I was and recognized her. Well she lives like 1 block away, her baby Alex is 11 months. She said that she wondered who lived in my house for months, because a while back, someones mom, mine or Joel's saw her walking and said, there is a new baby here. And then pointed out that the hedge in front of my house is shaped like a Bunny. She had lived in the neighborhood a few years and never noticed.

So she was excited to learn that It was me, someone she knew from swim class. We decided that next time we see each other at swimming we will exchange emails and plan a playdate.

I know this sounds cheezy, but I was thinking of making Holly and Mommy Business cards, with our names, info, maybe a picture, and our email address, and phone number. So then I can give them out to other moms I meet and they will have my contact info easy. Anyway it was exciting to meet her, not in a crowd of like 30 other mommy/baby couples, and learn she lives really close.

Holly was amazingly fun and energetic tonight and my goodness, it is like she thought, hmmm... I am almost 7 months old and I should be babbling by now, so let me start. She would not quiet down at all, and was saying ma babababababa mamamama bababa maba all night long. It was amazingly cute, and very intentional. When it was quiet she would stop, and when we were talking or had the tv on she would join into the conversation. late my mom called and I put her on speaker so she could hear Holly, but Holly decided to get all shy and intrigued with the phone and the disembodied voice, she tried to eat it and was quiet disturbed hearing it, come from the phone, she was quiet and wouldn't say anything.

Once I hung up she was hungry and fussy but started to babble again. She drank her bottle and fell fast asleep. Well I am off to get stuff down before bed, so talk more later.
