What A Weekend - Part 2

The Carter family has had another exciting weekend! Brad and I took Lillian on another road trip on Saturday and went to visit his family in Alexander City. Lillian got to meet her other great grandmother (Brad's grandmother) for the first time and it was super sweet to see them together. We then went over to Aunt Pat and Uncle Fletcher's (aka - Mimi and Pops) where miss Lillian got LOTS of love! Her uncle Chris came over and let's just say that Lillian is crazy about him. Maybe it's because he has raised a little girl of his own, but she couldn't get enough of him. Not a good sign for daddy, but she may just really like boys because she also took a liking to Brad's cousin's little boy, Dylan, and kept trying to hold onto his finger. :)
We had to hurry back to Birmingham because that night we had a birthday party for my friend, Bethany, to attend - SANS Lillian! Yep, Brad and I left Lillian for the first time with a sitter and went to an "adult only" function. I can't say that we weren't a little apprehensive about leaving our little girl for the first time, but our friends, Lauren and Jason, hooked us up with the most fabulous babysitter ever. I would like to say for the record that I only checked my phone twice the whole time to make sure that I hadn't missed a call from her! I can't however, say how many times Brad may or may not have checked his phone or that he didn't have it sitting out on the table throughout dinner. Ha! I am just thankful that we survived (and it wasn't too painful) this first milestone because I know how important it is for Brad and I to still do things as a couple.

I'm so proud of you guys! Now you say she loved uncle Chris but in that picture she looks somewhat apprehensive. :)

Wow, a babysitter! That's a big step in parenthood, isn't it? We're leaving Micah with a babysitter (my Mother-In-Law...does that count?) for the first time this Friday...wish me luck!

I am so glad that you guys left Lillian to hang out with Reese. She loved it and all this week she has asked why I took down baby Lillian's bed! It was great for her and I hope that Reese did not scare Lillian...I know Morgan loved keeping Lillian.
