As I write this, guess where you are? It is 7:30 in the morning and you are not home. You had your very first overnight visit with Great Gramma and Auntie Val. Your very first night away from your mommy. I am counting down the minutes until it is socially appropriate to go pick you up :) We definitely missed you but we both survived. Daddy did OK until we got home and he was sad that he didn't get to put you to bed. Every night, I see him walk upstairs with you, give you big kisses then tell you how much he loves you. I was sad because I missed my little cuddle time. But, we will make up for it when we pick you up!
This past week, you went bowling to see your cousins. We got to see Auntie Becky & Great Gramma Dorothy at her new house. You were apparently the hit of the dining hall flirting with everyone! Your cousin Andrew spent the night. It was so funny to see you two play together on the swingset. He made you less fearful of the swing. When you saw him swing, you wanted to swing. Unfortunately, the weather has not been nice enough to swing a whole lot.
Then, we tortured you this week. Twice.... On Sunday, we went to see the Easter bunny. You were waving to the bunny and talking to him but as soon as we got up there, you were crying and reaching for daddy. Then, Gramma Debi D sent you an Easter present that you are terrified of. It is a singing chick and it jumps up and down. You lost your marbles when it started jumping. I am guessing Easter just isn't your thing, buddy.
The infamous evil chicken!
You had your Easter party at daycare. Mary posted a photo but you look like a little loner off in the corner while the big kids do all the fun stuff. But, that doesn't seem to be bothering you any :)
Other than that, we have been boring. You had your (what has become) normal visits with your Gramma, Grampa, and Uncle Zachary. We were home most of the week.
We have a big day today. It is Finnegan's 1st Birthday Party & Jake's 1st Birthday party. We will get to see your long lost Uncle Jeff! Tomorrow, we have two Easter celebrations - Gramma Ruth's in the morning and Great Gramma Lang's in the afternoon. Lots of eggs for you to find!!
This week, we have to go to the dr on Monday to get you checked out for your surgery on Wednesday. All 3 of us are off work to get your tubes in your ears. Then, mommy & daddy go to the dr on Thursday to see Joey. We think you may have a play date on Saturday with a little girl just a touch older than you. Heavens knows you like them older :)
I just want to leave you with one final thought before I show you two other photos from the week. Even though mommy & daddy need a night out every once and awhile, I would say over half our conversation is about you & your brother. Heck, even on our date, we stopped at Toys R Us for you. They had jeans on sale so we got you a couple of pairs. Then, Daddy saw your Christmas present on sale for $60 off. Then, Daddy saw your basketball hoop on sale. We spent more on you than we did on our whole date night - and you weren't even with us!! But, you are always on our mind and in our hearts more than you will ever know!
This week, you decided to wear hats. We were shocked by how long you left them on your head. Here is your little gangsta-rap looking photo.
