Christmas Party

Last week we went to the Hubs' annual work Christmas dinner.  I wasn't going to go this year since we had the wee babe, but my sister-in-law suggested that we use one of her friends from college who lives pretty close to us.  She was available, so we decided that it would be a good event to have our first babysitting experience.  I wasn't too nervous about it, but we probably told the poor girl too much information about caring for Gray before we got out the door. 
We made sure that she knew where a bottle was, where the extra milk was just in case, where the toys were, where the diaper changing station was, how to swaddle Gray, how to comfort him if he is crying, etc. etc.  
We were at the dinner for a couple of hours and had a great time.  It turns out there are 4 other pregnant people in P's department, so that gave us all something to talk about.  When we got home, the babysitter was feeding Grayson his first bottle and said he had dozed on her for a while before waking up and wanting his food. 
I think that our first experience went pretty well, and it must not have been too terrible for our sitter because she offered to come again if we needed. 
He is still our happy little baby!
