Sleeping Beauty

So we discovered this week that we can wake the baby up. She was nice and still and then Devin came up to say hi and patted my tummy a few times, like he was playing the drums. Within about 10 seconds she was kicking back at him. We've since tested the theory and it works every time. It's so cute! But I think we'll leave her alone now and hope that she repays the favor later on when we want to sleep. (yeah, right.)

This week baby girl got her first little girl things. My friend, Lorena, within 5 days of finding out it was a girl had had her grandma in Uruguay knit and mail up these darling little booties. I couldn't believe it. I love how they'll come up to her knees, cute little diva boots. :) And then my mom sent out a package with these blankets, socks and nightgowns. I was fortunate enough to have delivered the ultrasound news to my mom when she was in the store. :)

And yes, this is foreshadowing of what my blog will be like in 5 months, full-blown baby blog.

But on a non-baby note: Devin and I have been loving the spring here in South Carolina. The trees and flowers are in full-bloom and the colors are beautiful. Here's a few pics from our recent outings. After the all-important Clemson spring football game we took a walk through the Clemson Botanical Gardens. Then on Friday we went up to Greenville for a Jazz festival where the close off main street and have concerts, art booths and wine tastings. Very classy, we loved it. And I love the lady checking out my husband in that last picture.
