Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Yeah, okay, so Mac's birthday was last Saturday and I'm just now posting about it. It was a kinda crazy week with Eliza having some serious trouble sleeping and waking up every morning by 5:30 at the latest. We think her top teeth are coming in, but they have yet to actually show themselves. Fun times.

Anyhoo...last weekend was a genuinely fun time. To celebrate his birthday, Mac requested that Eliza come down to the last kickball game of the regular season, which was at 10AM, her usual napping time. We went down early at 9 and she was a good sport and fell asleep in her stroller for a bit. She had a great time at the game and was popular with both teams. Mac's team won - hooray! Here she is helping Daddy coach at 3rd base.
It was too chilly to wear the uniform skort, so she opted for her Williams sweatshirt instead. A happy girl with her birthday guy.
However, the game couldn't always hold her attention, especially when there was important sandal eating to be done.
We also had a surprise meeting with Julene, sister-in-law Mary, and young master James, who were all out jogging for a good cause.
After the game, we went to Stanley's for brunch with the team where Eliza flirted shamelessly with the boys and had cantaloupe for the first time. She LOVED IT and was able to eat it on her own courtesy of her mesh bag (best invention ever), but we didn't realize how messy it truly was until later. The pictures show it quite nicely, though.
She has continued to celebrate Mac's birthday all week in her own fashion. Her new favorite syllable to babble is "da da da da." All day long. Which isn't remotely upsetting to those of us whose syllable might be, oh I don't know, "mama?"

Just kidding. It's adorable to hear.

We're off to Michigan again for the 4th of July. Have a wonderful holiday, everyone!
