Four Weeks and Our First Play Date!

The Turner Twins had their first play date on Sunday. We had invited over some close friends for a little cook out and while I headed to the store, Casey got a call that the Hoffarts (Mommy Emily, Daddy Jacob and Sweet Baby Wyatt) were headed over to play, too! Casey and Jacob have worked together for quite awhile and are super close.
Wyatt was delivered by Dr Westmoreland exactly one week before Hailey and Mason arrived. While only a week separates their birthdays their size difference tells another story. Wyatt was born at 40 weeks and Hailey and Mason were delivered just shy of 36 weeks. During our pregnancies (mine and Emily's), Casey and Jacob were a big support for each other. Even now there are many calls between the two new Daddys everyday!
When I got back from the store poor Jacob had been soaked in Mason's spit up. Jacob was of course completely unphased and immediately started helping unload groceries. Its sooo great to have such understanding friends that have babies, too! We talked the Hoffarts in to staying for dinner and soon Jackie, Jason and Michelle arrived.
The men were in charge of grilling yummy burgers, sausage and boudain while the women chatted and took care of babies. With seven adults and three babies, there was lots of baby love, picture taking and cuddles to go around. We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the adult interaction. It was a great way to mark the Turner Twins' 4 week birthday!
Thanks again Emily, Jacob, Wyatt, Jackie, Jason and Michelle. We hope Uncle Ryan can make it to the next gathering. I promise to be more prepared and to have actually gotten dressed and showered...so ashamed!

Hailey, Wyatt and Mason's first meeting in the pack-n-play.
Hailey checking out Wyatt. I'm pretty certain we can say this is when her crush on Wyatt started.

The party is getting started...."Wave your hands in the air like you just don't care! Whoop whoop!"

Hailey loves a man with great dance moves. Here she decides to sneak in a little kiss while her little brother is distracted.

When the arms stopped waving, the pile of baby legs started kicking!

Hailey uses the game of footsie to make her second move on Wyatt. Here the little hoochie mama throws her leg over Wyatt's leg...just to make sure he wasn't getting any mixed signals from her! Mason's still unaware of the action - he was totally fascinated by Wyatt, too.

Hailey using her cute, innocent face to play off the fact she's trying to goose Wyatt with her legs.
Wyatt's facial expression tells the REAL story.

After a few minutes I think Wyatt got a bit concerned. He was surrounded by little people!!! One was trying to make a move on him, while the other one wouldn't stop staring! LOL!


Finally sweet Wyatt was rescued by Mommy Emily and safe at last from the little people.
Hailey and Mason discussing Hailey's crush on Wyatt. Here she is explaining how she locked arms with him.

Hailey showing off her hoochie mama leg move to Mason. I'm pretty sure he explained that her behavior was unacceptable and he's the only boy she should be hanging out with. Hailey's daddy agrees, too! Its too early to start thinking of her as Hailey Hoffart!

Too funny! I love Hailey's innocent moves on Wyatt :) You caught some good stuff on camera. We have to get together at least once a month so Wyatt can have his Turner Twin Fix!
