last couple a weeks

Busy busy busy, these last couple a weeks have been. Robb's birthday was tons of fun (I think he'll vouch for that as well)... We went to a barbershop banquet on the eve of his b-day. Nevi and I stayed out past our bedtime to enjoy the wonderful music and company. Robb stayed even later, hitching a ride home the director of his chorus; the two of them (and me) continued to celebrate at our home into the wee hours. The night AFTER his birthday, Robb and I tested out a new babysitter for Nevi and went on a wine tasting in Lyons, CO. The new babysitter was a hit and we are grateful to have yet another kind soul in our life that appreciates and enjoys a good kiddo like Nevi. Marie is her name and she not only works with me at Home Instead, she also lives right in our neighborhood! A keeper.

The beautiful couple below are friends of ours that we visited with just this afternoon. They are expecting their first baby in June! Happy to have another 'Nevi friend' on the way...

Lastly, this first pix is of Nevi doing her 'homework' from GrandmaMom. She just bought us a program called, 'My Baby Can Read' and it comes with DVDs and Flashcards. It's actually a lot of fun and Nevi can make it through 1/2 to 2/3rds of the way through a video before turning her attention elsewhere and really likes the flashcards. We do these almost daily and it seems to offer yet another way to stimulate and 'play' with Nevi. She still isn't 'talking' per say but she definitely recognizes certain words and seems to absorb info much more quickly now.
