I celebrated my 29th birthday a few weeks ago.
Jacob's parents came over. We went to Krieger's for supper and then came back and ate the cake that Brenda made for me!
The next weekend, I got a ME day! That's what I wanted for my birthday/Mother's Day. I had birthday money and Christmas gift cards to spend! I went to Springfield and got to go to Target, Old Navy, Kohl's, Gordmans, WalMart, Panera and even got a pedicure!
I got some new clothes (and then I ruined one of my new shirts yesterday. Sadness.). Got a couple of other things, including a dust buster. Ha ha! Yes. I bought a dust buster. I love it though! Plus I price matched it to Amazon and saved an extra $5 on it! My lunch was SO good, and I smiled as I watched another mom chase her little kid around because I didn't have that responsibility that day! The pedicure was my splurge. I get one each year with birthday money. Other than that, I don't spend money on that! Plus, Daddy and Daniel had lots of fun together that day too and I was happy to see them when I got home!
Last weekend was Mother's Day. Jacob's parents came over again and we enjoyed time with them! Just a nice low key day.
Oh, and last Saturday we got family pictures done! I LOVE how they all turned out, but I'm waiting until I get the CD of them before posting! Although, our photographer posted some teaser pics that I shared on Facebook. She did a great job!
After that Jacob ran an errand and then we went to Barnes and Noble to kill time before Olive Garden opened for lunch! I read Daniel some books and then Jacob found a fun activity for them to do!
Then we had lunch, and it was delicious as usual. Jacob rode with Daniel in the backseat on the way home to keep him awake. I knew he'd fall asleep and once that happens in means he won't nap when we get home. We almost lost him 5 miles from home, but Jacob kept him up! It was such a fun family day!
Let's see...
Daniel LOVES to play outside!
I put together his picnic table we got him for Christmas! My super awesome deal from last year! We've already had 2 picnics out there!
Today Daniel and I went to Ashley's graduation party! Had a fun time talking with some former co-workers and Daniel was a little flirt. Silly boy! Tomorrow we're going to one of Jacob's student's open houses. Should be a good time!
Daniel has learned so many new things, I can't even keep up with it anymore!
He is obsessed with babies and tends to call all kids, "Baby!" Words he says are:
Dada, Mommy, What's this?, Baby, Hi, shoes, cookie, cheese, bar (granola bar), eat, eye, ears, yucky, mine, Grandma, circle, keys, potty, doggy, beep beep!...and so many more that I can't even think of right now!
He knows what a doggy says, "ooffff", and what a monkey says, "Ahh, ahh!" Then other day he said, "Meow" for a kitty over and over but he won't do it anymore!
He is the best picker upper toddler ever. He knows where all of his toys go and puts them exactly where they go!
He signs, "Please", "Thank You", "More" and "All Done".
He makes me smile.
what a fun catch up post! I am so glad you have been having fun and getting a bit of "Rachel" time - it's very needed for a Momma! I love the pictures you post too. Daniel is simply adorable it's fun watching him grow and he is getting quite a vocabulary! Love you Mommagirl!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kathy! You could be a professional photographer by the way. I always enjoy your pictures!
