Firsts

This week we experienced a lot of new things.

1. Ivy slept through the night for the first time!  No one was more thankful this Thanksgiving than me, I don't care what you say.  This appears to be somewhat of a fluke situation since the night before she woke up 3 times, but we've now gone 4 nights with no actual feedings so I feel we are turning over a new leaf even if we're still up a few times giving her a back scratch...  Where she gets this behavior from, I'm just not sure.

2. We went to Swig!  We were unimpressed!  I'm not sure what I expected since I don't drink soda...but also the sugar cookie did NOT have the "signature" crinkled edges so I'm just confused and won't be back.

3. Ivy went to her first Thanksgiving feast.  She didn't burst into tears when random people held her this time although we did see the pouty lip stick out a few times.

Cheeks!

4. Our garage door broke.  More specifically, it was the giant high-tension spring that busted and could've been kind of catastrophic, but we're all fine.  Since we can't fix this sort of thing ourselves, it was the least painful home repair ever.  We CALLED SOMEONE ELSE.  I know nothing more about garage repair than I did the day before, and it feels great.

5. I got my first prime lens for my camera and I am even more camera happy than normal.  Ivy is not as excited about these photoshoots as I am...

6. We went on our first after-bedtime date to the BYU football game.  Ivy continued to confuse impress us by sleeping well in a pack and play in an unknown location the entire time.

7. I bought a new cell phone.  Since I don't leave my desk or the house much without Scott and his functioning phone, I still honestly don't care one bit about cell phones. But at some point I need to read all my text messages, so I guess it was time?

8. We took Ivy to a wedding and a sit-down restaurant.  We're in the small window where she can sit on my lap and not grab my food so that was probably also the first and last time we're going to dinner with her.

Did you guys know Texas Roadhouse has an armadillo person that wanders around????  We've been here so many times and we've never seen this.
