First real night out without the little man.

This weekend my sister in laws sister got married. So the hubby and I left our little Cooper with my aunt Renee and went to the wedding. My family was there so that was nice and the wedding was beautiful. We had a great time and of course missed our little Mr. But he did a great job with my aunt Ne. It was crazy though going out without him. I've been home with him now for over 3 weeks and although I have gone places without him, they were just quick errands. My husband and I had not gone out just the two of us since before he was born and going out without your baby when both of you are with each other is weird. All I could think about was Cooper, I wonder what he's doing, how he is. I miss him, I just want to snuggle him close. I hope he's OK. So many thoughts. But I promise I did enjoy my time out though or at least try to. My niece who is seventeen months old was the flower girl at the wedding. She was absolutely adorable. She is such a little entertainer, You can't believe how friendly and outgoing this child is. As soon as the we all got to the reception she immediately went straight to the dance floor by herself to bust a move. She danced the entire night. Not stopping to even eat. It was hilarious! People were calling it the Natalie show. She was out there dancing away and she did this one move that had me laughing so hard, she put her hands in the air and lifted one leg and slowly bounced in a circle. Girl has rhythm, its amazing! How does a 1-1/2 year old have so much rhythm. I tried to catch the good dance moves on video but my camera died before I got a good video. I did get one of her just bouncing though. Trust me when I say this is not even near how she was dancing all night. She was all over the place with moves I didn't know a baby could do. My brother definitely taught her these things I bet. She also loves the song "Jump around" By the house of pain. There is a part in the song where the music makes a high pitched weeee noise and she would scream an ear pearcing scream to make the sound like the song does every time. And in the song it says "Jump around, jump around, jump up jump up and get down, jump jump jump" and she would put her hand in the air all ghetto like and jump. Ah this child is bound to be in the spotlight somehow. She had the dj's rolling, it was great. I will post the short video I have of her but like I said it doesn't even begin to show her crazy dance moves, she just bounces in this video, she must have been taking a breather. I'll try to get a video of her next week dancing for real. Its too funny. Hopefully she can teach Coop some good moves when he's able to dance. I also want to post a picture of my best friend Lisa and I. She came over for dinner last week and brought her sweet little 1 year old daughter Anniston. Anni was so sweet, she leaned in and kissed Cooper. What a cutie. Lisa and I took a picture together our very first picture of both of us with our children. Its crazy, we grew up together and now here we are taking pictures with our kids. Its amazing and wonderful.

Awesome! Isn't it funny how nights out are so different after a baby. They are wonderful because they are so rare but then all you do is think about your precious one at home missing them and wondering what they are doing. I call my family and say " Can you check on her make sure she's breathing?" Yes I am that paranoid :)

And your niece was so cute! IN 12 or so months Cooper can join her!

I know it is such mixed emotions to leave our lil men at home. It is nice to get out but you are right, you are constantly thinking about them. Looks like you all had a great time though!
