It's my Birthday!

This is one of my new birthday hats.  I like presents!

I'm seven weeks old now! Almost at the two-month mark.  Mom keeps saying how time is going by so quickly, but it seems alright to me.  This weekend was also Mom & Dad's two-year anniversary, so we held a big group celebration to roll it all into one.  Dad took us out to the swanky hotel here in town (my first overnight away from home!) and then we went to the Garlic Festival on Saturday.  I think Mom was worried about the overnight trip, but Dad kept telling her to calm down since we were less than thirty minutes away from the house.  All in all, it wasn't so different from a regular night at the house, but I had my monkey rocker to sleep in and Mom to feed me on demand, so what more could I need?

On Saturday, we drove out to the Garlic Festival with Aunt Jennifer and walked around in the mud.  Well, I was a snoozing baby and Mom carried me, but that is kinda the same thing.  The muddy weather didn't seem to deter people from the vineyard booths, so Mom stuck to buying presents for me.  I can't argue with that!  I got a stuffed animal, some yarn Mom is going to knit for me, and a few hairbows.  I even got my portrait drawn while we were there.  Fun story: Grandma had portraits drawn of Dad and Aunt Jen ages ago when they were my age (and then again as older kids), and she wanted the same lady to draw one of me.  The adults have been planning on tracking her down at the farmers' market where she often is around Christmas, but guess who we saw at the Garlic Festival?? It's such a small world!  We were able to get my adorable likeness captured without having to make an extra stop.

First ever Garlic Festival!

After walking around all afternoon, I got to play with the aunties while Mom and Dad went off somewhere else for dinner.  I don't know why they felt to need to leave me, but the aunties are pretty awesome to hang out with.  All in all, it was a pretty eventful weekend, so can you blame me for being tired at the end of everything?
