Sunday afternoon we had a play date with Mike, Kristi, Cora, and Henry. It was a very humid and hot day so we opted for an indoor playground and picnic instead of an outdoor one. It was a great idea! :) I took my camera to get pictures of the kids together, but never used it. It's a little hard to take pictures when you're usually holding an 8 month old. I wish I would have gotten some pictures of the girls though (not that the boys aren't cute, they just aren't quite as interactive yet). It's always been fun watching Cora and Ava play together, but as they get older it's even better.
Speaking of Sunday, the little man turned the big 8...yes 8 months old. He's finally sitting unsupported, starting to eat a few table foods (he really loves his mesh feeder filled with fruit), gets up on all fours (and then falls, or gets into the plank position), and has one of his top teeth starting to break through his gums. I've been waiting for those two top ones to pop out any day. Today I realized that one of them had started, because the little turkey was grinding his bottom teeth against it. It's such an awful sound!!!
Monday morning Daddy left for Vegas on a work trip. Grandma Becker was nice enough to drive up here and spend some time with us. She was here when I got home from work on Monday, and left today after lunch. Our time together went very quickly. We had lots of fun together, and I really appreciated the help.
Tuesday morning Grandma stayed home with Ava while I took Grant in for his ENT follow-up appointment. They checked his hearing, which is good and his ears/tubes look great. I was concerned that he may have an infection because he hasn't been going down to bed lately without being rocked to sleep. I guess he's just being a turkey and we're going to have to start being a little more strict and letting him fuss a bit since I know he's healthy. However, it could also be the fact that he's cutting teeth. We never went through that with Ava. She always just put herself to sleep. Hopefully this is a short lived phase for Grant. If he weren't so cute and happy the other 23 hours of the day I would have to be upset with him. Anyway, after we got home we decided to take Grandma to the zoo. We got to see most of the animals and we had a little picnic there.
Wednesday Grant went to daycare and Ava got to spend the day with Grandma and me. We spent the morning at the Children's Museum. She loves that place! We ate lunch out and then stopped at Candy Land, an old school candy store for a little treat. That evening we took a walk around the lake and stopped at the park for a bit. Ava and Grandma played some games, and Grandma introduced Ava to her new favorite game...Simon says. I think that Grandma was regretting teaching Ava this game. :)
This morning was nice and low key. We took another walk and a trip to the park. Grandma then left after and the kids decided they didn't want to take much for naps. We ran a few errands and went for a walk/bike ride before dinner. Grant has been up multiple times since going to bed. I'm praying for some sleep before going back to work in the morning. Hope you enjoy the pictures below and have a great weekend!
