GiGi the Giraffe



















Wow, I am so proud of my friends and I, we ran a mile and a half twice this week. I haven't done that since freshman year of high school, yikes. I am still hanging in there, surprising myself along the way. So anyway, Toby and I went on our first night on the town over night without our princess. The grandparents enjoyed sharing the weekend playing with her and spoiling her rotten. We spent the night at the Embasy Suites in downtown FortWorth. We had a blast, ate until we couldn't anymore, went to a late night comedy club and laughed like crazy, and ran into several MSU alumni. Oh, yea I somehow convinced Toby to enter the world of insane money spending women on a mission "Sam Moon" to get our darling little one hair bows. He was having a blast making fun of everyone in the store and giving the lady at the register a hard time. It was nice to get to have our time, so a big THANK YOU to our parents for coming to the rescue. On another note, we took Stella to BabiesRUs to get a walker or exersaucer. We placed her in three different items. She was having a good time playing with the toys and stepping with her feet but then we placed her in the jumperoo. You ask what is a jumperoo, it is this stationary bouncer with bungee cords on three sides. She immediately started jumping up and down squealing loudly and banging her hands on the toys. Toby and I looked at each other and both thought "what our baby wants she gets" ha ha ha. We couldn't resist getting it for her if she acted like that. Not to any ones surprise we got out of the store with a $90 activity toy for $67 dollars. Got to love Toby and his natural way to wheel and deal. It was a closeout toy and the floor model was all there was left. We got to use a coupon and made a deal with the manager. Don't you wish all shopping experiences were this way. Well, here are some updated pics of Stella and some video of her and her friend GiGi the giraffe. Every time we walk into her room she goes crazy looking a GiGi. Hope everyone is having a great week. Love ya'll, Jenny
