Sleepover at Auntie's House!

Little Bean slept over on Friday night so her parents could celebrate their 3rd anniversary baby-free. It was delightful! I loved every single moment I had with Sawyer.

I loved waking up for the late night feeds (it definitely helps when you know you are giving her back the next afternoon). I enjoyed them because everything was quiet. So quiet and so peaceful and so lovely. It was just me and my little buddy.

I loved snuggling at 3am on the couch and rocking her back to sleep. It is amazing how trusting little babies are. I love how they melt into you and can often be calmed just by being snuggled.

I gave Sawyer to Erik in the morning when I was getting her bottle ready. He's not very comfortable with little ones, but he did well. I came back into the room to this... Erik trying to sleep with his teddy bear over his face (yes we sleep with a teddy bear). 

 Sawyer and  I went to see her parents in the morning because we needed to pick up more milk (her mama hadn't pumped enough so they stayed in Kelowna so I could pick it up from them). I think Sawyer's parents were happy to see her; her mama had never been apart from her for more than a couple hours.

Look at her chubby cheeks!!! They are YUMMY! I munched on them constantly... They are wonderful!

We went to the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning. It was so refreshing outside! It was drizzling a bit and I had Sawyer in the sling as we walked around. I may be wrong, but I think she loves being outside. It seems to calm her almost instantly. It could be the whole combination of being swaddled, snuggled in a sling, and in the fresh (as fresh as a city can be) air.  I enjoyed it though.

When we came home from our errands, I gave Sawyer a bath. She wasn't a big fan, but she smelled delicious at the end of it all. Her little wrists now look like they have rubber bands around them. That is one of my favorite things about babies! Super cute. 

Erik even fed her in the afternoon before her parent's came to pick her up. He was so funny because she was falling asleep and he was afraid that she would choke. He kept on calling me over to wake Sawyer up because he couldn't do it because his hands were full. Then when he was burping her he was terrified that she was going to spit up on him. He made a full-out shield to protect himself. He eventually handed her off to me because it was too much for him to handle.

I was sad to see Sawyer go home. It was so much fun to play Auntie for the night. I cannot wait to do it again!
