Happy Birthday to Me

Ryan has turned into a total chatterbox lately. This morning, I interpreted his comments to mean "Happy Birthday, Mommy! You don't look a day over 24..."

We had an awesome day - we went to the Link Rec Center to swim in the pool with our partners-in-crime, Sommer and Mackenzie. I bought a special floaty for the occasion, and Ryan loved it.

He's a little small for it still, but as long as I propped up his head or leaned him forward, he was perfectly fine. The water in the pool was about 92 degrees - perfect!

Kenzie had to taste-test the floaty

Then we went to one of my favorite restaurants, The Oven at Belmar. The salad and pizza were just the niceties before we could dig into real purpose of going to that particular restaurant - the donut with chocolate & espresso mascarpone - oh, yum. Ryan was totally sacked out at this point, as was Kenz, so we took our time licking the sugar and chocolate off our fingers (what table manners?). The best part was I made a big deal about it being my birthday (naturally), so the donuts were FREE!

We then roamed around the shopping center- I found two pairs of pants at Ann Taylor Loft for a great deal (I have lost all the baby weight - and then some - so it's fun to shop again). Finally, since Ryan was still dead to the world, I decided to get a haircut - something I have been putting off for almost a month. The constant drone of hairdryers served to keep him asleep even longer - the swimming must have really taken it out of him!

Tonight Sam's parents are coming to put the Chunk to bed while we go out for sushi - this is turning out to be the best food day ever!
