First "real" Night Out

Chuck and I had our first real day/night away from Holden.  Our friends Alex and Zeydi got married yesterday, it was an ALL day affair.  The wedding was at 1:00, but the reception didn't start until 6.  So Grammy came over around 10:30 to help with Holden while I got ready, cause daddy had to be at the hotel by 11 to take pictures.  The wedding was really beautiful.  Since there was such a time gap between the wedding and the reception I decided to come home and just make sure that Grammy and Holden were OK.  Grammy did great!  And so did Holden.  I guess it helps that me and Grammy have a very similar voice, Grammy knows all the songs that mommy sings cause she's the one who used to sing them to me AND she listens to everything mommy says so she remembers the little tricks that mommy uses when I get fussy or sleepy.

Needless to say, Chuck and I had a really good time.  I only called and checked on Holden and Grammy twice during the reception.  The first time was shortly after his "grip water" time and Grammy held the phone up to Holden's ear and I could him coo as I talked to him.  The second time was shortly after I thought he had gone to bed.  Both times Grammy had everything under control.  Not that I knew she wouldn't, but it makes it so much easier to leave him for a period of time when you know that he is happy.

I'm not so sure that mommy will be letting daddy get out as often though, or maybe I should let him out MORE often.  He are just a few pics of our evening, for some reason I think our friends might leave us at home next time, or at least Chuck.

This was obviously taken at the BEGINNING of the reception.

And this one was taken towards the END.
