Walking!!!

D has recently started walking on his own, so last night when we got home from the circus, he just had to show off for grandma and grandpa! (and mommy & dad)

(This is why I shouldn't have a video camera & I'm sorry it's on it's side!)

Wordless (almost) Wednesday

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day! Today Dean got to spend a fun morning with his Grammy & Grampy who came down from up north. We had breakfast together, D was not thrilled with his oatmeal, but he enjoyed several bites of my waffle! G & G stayed at a hotel with a pool so D, Grammy & I went swimming (Dad & Grampy were the paparazzi). Grammy brought D a little floaty, he loved to float around and kick with mommy. After we had a long swim with lots of splashing & kicking we went back to the hotel room & D showed off his new walking skills. He is still fairly wobbly, but he took about 6 steps without assistance between my dad and I.

Zoo!

On Tuesday I had my one day off between school ending & my research project starting. SO to take full advantage my main man and I decided to head north (mostly I just decided, he had no choice!). I Really wanted to go to Sephora because I love Sephora and I don't go but maybe once a year. That portion of the trip didn't take long, so we decided to go to the zoo too.

I have to say that I LOVE the zoo, and Tuesday was a great time to go since there were not many people. Dean Loved to look at the animals, he particularly liked the yellow weaver birds, the fruit bats, and the penguins. I got him a little stuffed bat when we were done because it kept cracking him up at the zoo store. I'm excited for when DH can go too, maybe there will be more pictures!

School's out!

YAY! School is finally out for summer (sadly, not forever :)
I'm SO glad that our little family survived this crazy ridiculous year, and I pray that next year will be better (how could it not?)
It made me sad though, when everyone said "enjoy your time home with your baby" and I had to say, "I'm not really going to have extra time at home with him". I'm thrilled with my research opportunity, but the timing, yuck! At least I won't have homework :)

Out to Dinner

When I got home from work yesterday fil called to see if we wanted to go out to dinner (of Course!)
So off we went to Red Robin (yum). I have to say that it is a great place to take the baby. It is loud enough that when he decides to yell, or to bang his bee or sippy cup on the table no one notices. I got a bbq chicken salad (which sounds healthy, but totally isn't) that I share bits of with Dean. When the server brought my salad he put the little cup of ranch on the right side of the salad dish, right with in reach of my little bug. Before I could react he stuck his whole hand into my dressing, and proceeded to suck it off his fingers. As DH said, "I've never seen him eat anything that fast!" It's true, the kid LOVES Ranch, who knew? (I really wish I had my camera with me, because it was just too funny!)

Wordless Wednesday
