all dressed up

Saturday we went to the wedding of one of Eben's co-workers. It was in the evening and we've blown our babysitting budget for the month (and then some) so after asking permission, we brought Monroe along.



She's done great on evening outings before, but we hadn't taken her to a party in about a month and of course a month is a VERY long time in a baby's development. We enjoyed the ceremony, mingled with friends at cocktail hour, but skipped out on the dinner when she showed no signs of being able to settle in and sleep in a baby carrier strapped to daddy (which is how we made it through Aunt Naomi's wedding.)


We came prepared with a diaper, pajamas, and Beddy Bear. We thought that she might sack out in the car and wanted to be able to just slide her into bed. Nope! Monroe waited until we got home and said goodnight to everything before she would go to sleep. She knows her routine! :-)
