The Slayton's: Sea World Girls Weekend!

A lot has happened since my last post. I have gone back to work for the last month of school, our little one is smiling and "talking", A LOT, was blessed with a wonderful girls weekend to San Antonio and Sea World with my stepMother, and have moved Cynthia from her bassinet to her big girl crib!

It is hard for me to believe that almost 3 months ago our princess, Cynthia, made her appearance! There are times that it seems like she should be so much older, and then there are times that I can't believe she's getting so big already! I have really loved being a mommy to this little girl after only such a short time, and I just know that it's going to keep getting better. Last week, we had to fill out the registration forms for Cynthia's day care at Eagle Wings next year. Let me tell you, that was a little wierd, another moment that made both Josh and I realize that we truly are parents!

Just this last weekend my dad let his new wife, and Josh let his 2 girls leave town for a girls weekend! I had never been to Sea World, so Anita decided that we should make a trip of it. We had such a good time all weekend long! When we got to San Antonio and checked into our hotel, we decided that it was time to check out the pool. So, the three of us got suited up and headed down! I was super glad that it was dark as I'm my body is still losing this baby weight! Cynthia LOVED being in the water. She has always loved her bath time, so she was super relaxed in the pool! The next morning I was blessed with some time to go sit in the hot tub and also with a massage! It was amazing!!! Grandmama was also able to get some time with Cynthia! We then headed to Sea World! It was a hot, humid day with an on and off breeze, but I LOVED it! We saw a couple shows, but my favorite was definitely the show with Shamu. I am always amazed by the gracefulness of those big swimming mammals and how they jump and twist through the air just for fun! We walked and walked and walked around and saw some of the different exhibits. I am always amazed at God's creativity and imagination!

For the past 2 weeks or so, Cynthia has been sleeping fairly consistenly for 7-8 hours at night, so we decided that it was time for her to make the move to her own crib! She has done great in it the past two nights! It was so sweet to hear her "talking" herself to sleep last night! She is a bit of a squirmer, so when we get her out of the crib in the morning, she is a little crooked, or completely turned around like in the picture below!

I only have a few more weeks of work, and I am looking very forward to having summer off to spend with my sweet, smiley girl!
