just the girls

Sadie and I have been kickin it bachelorette style this weekend while Reid attends our friend JR's bachelor party in---where else?---Vegas. Before we became parents (actually, before we bought a house, it seems), Reid and I were the consummate Las Vegas fans. We went 2 or 3 times a year, usually staying in a different casino or going with a different group of friends, but always playing lots of craps and spending plenty of time poolside with a frozen drink in hand. It's "our" place as a couple, and we pretty much consider ourselves the experts on it...or at least USED to, before a slew of new casinos, clubs, and restaurants opened. We were definitely overdue for a refresher course, so we debated the logistics of Sadie and I coming along on this trip. Needless to say, it didn't make a lot of sense since, much like cell phones, babies are not allowed at the craps table. Vegas will have to wait until she's a little older and knows what a "hard eight" is. In the meantime, here's a self-portrait of us girls.
I have to admit that I was a little nervous about solo parenting for four days, but Sadie's been a breeze. Last night she slept for 8 hours straight. She's been napping on schedule and smiling up a storm when she's awake. She didn't even get mad when I spilled curry on her at the Thai restaurant the other night. What a good girl!
