I have really enjoyed the last few days (four counting today!) at home with my little guy. We played, read books, sang and took naps! He really is the sweetest boy, he has started "hugging" a little and it's just the sweetest thing! He smiles and laughs all the time, and makes us laugh at him a lot, I can tell already he is going to have a healthy sense of humor! He has also starting showing real interest in holding his bottle. He knows exactly where is goes and what to do with it! In fact last night he held it for a long time by himself! When he sees the bottle, he WANTS it! Over the last few days I have starting feeding him more cereal and veggies during the morning and at lunch along with his evening meal and he LOVES it. We have tried squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas and we had some bananas at breakfast this morning. He is doing so good with eating. He is messy, but rarely turns away from an incoming spoon!
Yesterday after morning services we braved the icy roads and went to Hickory Ridge for my grandpa's bday lunch. He is 75! We left about 11:45 (we thought the roads would have had time to thaw some by then) and had a rough (really, really rough) ride down there. It took us a little over and hour to get there! It usually only takes about 35 minutes! We only slid once, and it made me nervous, but by the time we thought maybe we should turn around we were about half way there, so we went on and made it fine. The way back was MUCH better, the ice had melted even more with the sun shining. Last night after church we ran to Sonic and the roads were already refreezing and getting icy again. Most of the schools in the area were out again today. The sun is shining, so I assume that whatever is left on the roads today will melt and everything will be back to normal tomorrow.
Here are a few cute pictures I took over the weekend!
