M.I.A

I cannot believe it has almost been an ENTIRE month since I've posted...EPIC FAIL! Let's do a quick recap to get everyone caught up then we can move on to more fun future things :) Like the fact my baby will be SEVEN MONTHS Wednesday...OMG where is the time going?!?!?!

And here we go:

• The last weekend in March took us on a road trip down to SC for my Uncle Andy's 50th Birthday surprise bash in Bluffton, SC (near Hilton Head y'all!). In an attempt to keep the kid from sleeping allllllllll dayyyyyyy in a car we left at 6pm on Thursday and made it to Rocky Mount, NC for the night :) We got up bright and early on Friday and took a little side trip to Charleston and had a late lunch at the Hominy Grill. Delish!!! :) Noah enjoyed a nice sweet potato lunch as well for his first official big boy lunch :) We made it to Bluffton for a late supper with my family :) Saturday was the party where Noah got to meet a lot more of the Bradshaw Clan :)
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• April 3rd: Noah had his 6 month check up and weighed in at 18lbs 16 ounces and is officially 2 feet 2 inches! :) YAY :)
• April 6th: Noah celebrated his first Passover with the Zelmans and got his first taste of Matzo

• April 7th: Mama and Daddy had our first official night out with friends since Noah was born to celebrate our friend Jamie's 30th birthday in DC. We had a nice supper and then went out for drinks...it was the first time I had seen 1am in ages that wasn't a result of a crying baby :P Thanks to Jo Jo, Pop Pop, Aunt Kate and Aunt Lissa for keeping the munchkin for us :)
  

• April 8th: Noah celebrated his first Easter with my family: Easter service at Centreville Baptist, Easter baskets, Easter egg hunt and a nice brunch with the whole family.

• The rest of the month has been a blur of work (my computer crashed for the third time in six months can we say hella awesome!), cleaning and spending quality family time together :)
• Mama has officially lost all baby weight and is 5 lbs shy of wedding weight...holla! :)
• My best good friend Casey is preggers with a little boy (Jack) and is due in June :) She had a baby shower on Sunday, so Noah and I trucked it down to Carrsville for the day. Jo Jo and Pop Pop loved getting to see him even though it was only for a bit. I think the distance gets to my Daddy more than anyone :( The shower was a lot of fun I got to see a few girlfriends from High School and their babies. Noah made a few little girlfriends himself this weekend :P The good news is my parents will be coming back up to visit with us again in a few weeks to keep No No. Matt and I will be going to see the Black Keys (my anniversary present to Matt) on Friday and then our friends are getting married in DC on Saturday so it will be our first official night away from Noah (I'm sooooooooooooo nervous). I swear we'll be up at 5am driving back home to see the little munchkin!
• This weekend we'll be taking Noah to Ohio for his first visit! :)

I swear I'll be back tomorrow with an official 7 month update on Noah! :)
