Long story short: I met a fellow Mommy-to-be last year around this time on a pregnant Mommy website. We hit it off online, seemed to have similar interests/senses of humor/etc, and corresponded via emails and messages through the website for a while.
Fast forward to June-- we ended up having our babies ON THE EXACT SAME DAY!!!! (what are the chances, really!?) She gave birth to a beautiful little girl named Annabelle about an hour after Gavin was born on June 30th. Super cool.
And so we've talked on the phone/emailed here & there since June about getting together, but life always seems to have an uncanny way of interrupting plans. (someone is sick, someone didn't sleep well last night, someone is teething, etc...)
Thank GOODNESS that today, our (78th) prospective playdate actually came together and these two birthday buddies were able to FINALLY MEET!!!! I am beyond ecstatic that Gav actually has a friend his own age now, that lives nearby, that he'll be able to play with. (I mean, attending all of his big sister's playdates have sufficed until now, but being the only 1/2 balding, toothless, drooling young man in a room full of sophisticated 4 & 5 year old young ladies can prove a bit intimidating after a while.) Anyhoo, the two seemed to hit it off instantly, and Melissa (Annabelle's Mommy) and I both see a possible, long-term future for them together. (what, you think wedding plans are a bit premature?) ;-)
Well, photographing 2 squirmy 8-month olds was a bit difficult, but we were able to capture a couple to commemorate this big day....
So without further ado, may I present to you all, Gav & Annabelle's first playdate!
