sock hop, birthday get together, dinner with friends

it's 8:50 on sunday night and i'm about ready to fall asleep. azalea has been getting us up suuuuper early for weeks on end and it's definitely catching up with me. i've been meaning to write a post about the sleep situation at our house. it's not pretty :) in other news, i've had this dilemma in my head about whether to post weekend updates without pictures (i just haven't been good about taking them lately). this little voice in my head says no one wants to read all that boring text with no pictures. don't even bother posting it. but then i remind my voice (my head?) that this blog is for me and i like to go back and read about what we were up to on any given day. so, here i go...

friday night was the southwest community education family sock hop. thatcher planned on helping with the set up, so i took azalea over there (without a poodle skirt, sadly. hehe) a little before it started. we set her down on the gymnasium floor and she took off crawling all over. she thought it was the greatest thing and was shrieking and having a blast. unfortunately when people actually started showing up, it was no longer safe for her to be on the floor because it was simply too crowded. so, we tried to hold her, but she wasn't having it. we only stayed about a half hour, but that's ok. i think next year will probably be better for her. 

saturday we had a day of celebrating our friend jeromy's birthday. he and his wife becky invited us to burger jones for lunch along with sarah, and jeromy's family. i loooove that place, but i always leave feeling like i gained 10 lbs. burgers + fries + malt = so full! we had a good time and azalea did really well at the restaurant. side note: last weekend, right after i posted her 11 month update, she started feeding herself. she's been doing really well with it ever since. and it definitely keeps her entertained at restaurants. score! anyway, we parted ways with the group until we went back to becky and jeromy's in the evening for a game night and sundaes (yes, more ice cream. i'm only minorly ashamed). azalea spent the evening with thatcher's parents, which was nice. 

sunday morning i went to corepower yoga with my neighbor rebekah for the first time in forever. it felt so good! i need to be better about going. azalea and i met my friend mollie for lunch at punch pizza. again, azalea was an angel the entire time. she just sat there and fed herself pieces of crust :) i could get used to this! sunday night we were invited to dinner at my friend carolina's house. she's the one i met at baby yoga way back and we get together once a month or so. we've even got our husbands hanging out with us :) their little girl is 13 months and she is just learning to walk, so that was super cute. azalea started breaking down around 6:30, so we called it a night. except we needed to stop and get some groceries on the way home. she did okay at the store, but it was straight to bed when we got home. i really hope she makes it until my alarm goes off at 5:50 tomorrow. seriously, that would be nice...
