Rapid Fire Blogging and...Cooties Already?

Okay, so one thing about going back to work is that I have less time to update this blog.  So I am going to try to do a few in a row this weekend to get caught up.  Starting with...

Cooties Already???

Dave and Kace, some friends of ours, had a baby about a week and a half after Carson was born.  Their baby Judah is actually the first "friend" Carson ever made.  Here they are, meeting for the first time, both just a few days old:

Clearly, they are both fascinated with each other.

At the end of January, the three of them came over for dinner and some bonding over babies.  It's great to hang out with people at the exact same stage of parenting as us.  It is comforting to know other people are experiencing the same challenges, questions, and joys that we are.  While we were hanging out, we thought it would be cute to get some pics of the babies together, and here's how it all went down.  The whole situation reminded us of a middle school relationship--and lasted about as long as one.

Step 1--ignore

Step 2--he gets an idea

Step 3--play it cool

Step 4--Move....

Step 5--Make your move

Step 6--She's not interested

Step 7--Seriously, I don't want your cooties

Step 8--Feelings are hurt

and girl "doesn't understand" why he's so upset.  Can't we just be friends?

Thanks so much to Judah, Dave, and Kace for being such good sports and friends.  Maybe we'll try again this month.  And who knows--there might just be a real middle school relationship in their future!
