Weekend Away

Weekend Away, a set on Flickr.

I have had problems with one of my teeth for a while now. Finally it got bad enough that I caved and got something done (though I should have done it a loooong time ago!). The main work was done near home but my cousin is a dentist about 4 hours away and the rest of the work he was willing to do for MUCH cheaper despite the gas money and the night in a hotel. (Thank you, thank you, thank you for that, dear cousin!!!)  So for the President's Day weekend, we traveled to my cousin to get my dental work done.

Little man found staying the night in a hotel a HUGE adventure. He was so happy that we joked about staying more than one day. He loved his bed (the pull-out sofa bed), he loved the room, he loved the air conditioner, he loved eating doughnuts for breakfast...I don't think he fussed the whole time we were there. What bliss for everyone!

A lot of the pictures I took were blurry because my kidlet would not stop moving, but they are fun all the same. :)

Fighting Cabin Fever, a set on Flickr.

Life lately has been crazy. The weather has been snowy and then warm, and then snowy, and then warm. Little man and I have been without a car all week. There has been some cabin fever. In fact, I let little man go outside today because the sun was shining and he was literally screaming with happiness as he ran back and forth in front of the house. But we've found some fun things to do inside without the car (like baking...my baby loves to help me bake!).

Every time I turn around, little man is doing something new. He's growing so fast and learning so much, it blows my mind on a daily basis. We have conversations, he seems to understand everything I say, and I just can't believe it. He's doing great in a big boy bed, which I didn't expect. He adjusted with no problems at all. Not only is he sleeping great, but he doesn't try to get out of bed to play! How did I get blessed with such an amazing child?

Because he keeps growing so much and because we've been doing some fun things, I thought I'd better post a bunch of pictures. Too bad I can't post them straight to the blog but still...enjoy!
