Belly Dancing Friends and Toothful Grins

I am so in love with our tiny little human. I'm her mom so of course I think she's precious, but really, is there a cuter baby? We've had a fun couple of days despite being sad about losing Cosby. I am thankful that even when I'm feeling down I have a cuddle bug who loves to play with her mama.
Friday night Ryan, Eva, & I went to meet up with some friends to celebrate my best friend Erica's birthday. We went to a Lebanese restaurant in Addison that was complete with ..... a belly dancer!
Thanks, Auntie Erica, for Eva's first time to watch a belly dancer :) We kept hoping Erica would dance too, but for some reason she refused. But seriously, since it was a cultural thing it was fun and the food was really good, too.

Saturday we had a full day of family and friends. Eva and I went to Dallas and had lunch with my friend Brooke, also known as Aunt BB. Eva had lots of smiles for Aunt BB! Afterwards we took Brooke home and went over to visit my Grandma Dede (Eva's great grandmother). She recently moved into a smaller apartment after my grandfather's death so I wanted to stop by and see it all set up. When we got there my mom and uncle were there helping her get settled in and then my dad came by to see me - and by me, we all know that really means Eva. It's okay, I'm glad she loves to play with her Grandpa!

Today my mom came over to babysit for the afternoon so that Ryan and I could go on a date. We hadn't been out just the two of us in two whole months! So it was a nice break to get to go out. We picked up muffins from Central Market, coffee from Starbucks, and went to see The Vow. I'd recommend it to anybody that likes romantic movies and Rachel McAdams.

Finally, when we got home my mom had put Eva down for a nap. She was talking casually to us and mentioned that she got to feel Eva's tooth. Umm, her what? I didn't believe her at first but she said it was there. After Eva woke up from her nap I washed my hands well and poked my finger around her gums. Sure enough, there is a little tooth there. If you can trick her to open her mouth and move her tongue out of the way you can even see it. How did I not realize that my baby was teething? I have no idea. But we're excited for her. Here's to more smiles!
