Long, Late lunch...

We met my friend Julia and her daughter Michaela for lunch Wednesday. Er, late lunch.

Our 1:30 p.m. plans got pushed to 1:45 when I was running behind, then 2 p.m. then 2:15 when Michaela finally fell asleep for a nap, then Alexa fell asleep, then I had to feed her... We finally both arrived at 2:30 for our lunch.

This is what is called "Mommy Time." It works well when you are dealing with another mommy and you are both flexible. It, obviously, could be a problem when you make plans with anyone else!

Meanwhile, after her short nap and feeding, Alexa went back to sleep and slept through our whole lunch! Here she is chillin' in her car seat at Cafe Deluxe. Oh, what a life of leisure she leads!

Another play date with Michaela!

Today was freezing! But it was nice out, so I bundled Alexa up in the most ridiculously adorable outfit and out we went! Here we are... I know, look at that face, she is not sure if her outfit is over the top or not... Yes, it is. Over the top and we love it!

I also put mittens on her and plopped her into her quilted sleeping bag sack in her carseat. She was toasty. After a nice lunch at our favorite organic restaurant, where we ran into the doctor who delivered BOTH Alexa and Michaela (!!!), we headed to Barnes & Noble!

Here is adorable Michaela, taking a crawl break from all her walking!

Michaela with her awesome momma!

Lucky me with BOTH babies! Michaela is almost exactly a year older than Alexa. So she is 15 months to Alexa's 3 months. But she's about double Alexa's size! Alexa is 12 pounds and Michaela is more than 24 pounds! My, how they grow fast...

I am cleared to exercise!

Today was a big day! Today, Alexa turned 6 weeks old. And today, I went in to see my doctor for my post-delivery check-up. I was given the thumbs up to exercise and promptly laced up my running shoes and went for a long walk!

I met up with my college friend Julia and her adorable baby girl to walk along the Capitol Crescent Trail. Once we started talking, we lost track of time and ended up walking about 3-4 miles roundtrip. It was such a beautiful day!
