The last weekend in April we went to West Lafayette for a family wedding. On Friday night we had dinner and drinks with a friend. Saturday was the wedding. We had a lot of fun, Jack included. We ate, drank, and danced the night away....til about 1030pm (which is late for the little guy). We had a nice family lunch at Arni's on Sunday with my family and Matt's, who were in town for a different family function. Trips home are never really relaxing, always busy seeing friends and family, but we always have a good time!
This past weekend was a nice one too. Matt's had a lot going on at work, so Friday night we ate dinner and vegged, Matt falling asleep preeeettty early hehe, but that's fine because that gave me a chance to finish my book. Yes, I'm reading the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. It's just as terribly smutty as one would think. And, I'm enjoying it! I'm not really one for romance novels, erotic or otherwise, but this one's story is actually interesting haha. It does get a little old at times, and I find myself rolling my eyes at certain points, but I'm glad I've read it, as it's a topic of discussion among the mommies in my mommy group. It seems that I can't go anywhere (mom's night out, play dates at Kids Town, or the internet, including Facebook) without hearing about this. Matt's narrating is great, too! :0) Saturday we had a pretty lazy day just hanging around the house. Matt played games, and again, I read while Jack napped. Saturday night we went to a friends house and had a fun Cinco de Mayo fiesta with the mom's from my group and their kids. It was a lot of fun, I'm glad to have met such a fun and hilarious group of women! With us not knowing many people in Illinois that aren't family members, it's nice to meet new people. Sunday Matt's brother Tim and his wife Amy came over for the day, which was nice since we don't get to see them often. It was a stormy day (awesome!), so we stayed inside and had a good time hanging with Jack and playing Ticket to Ride.
As for Jack, he's pulling up on things now, always on his knees trying to get up to wherever you are. He pulls up to standing on anything he can, and he's getting rather good at it! He stands and plays at his push toy all the time now. He's teething again, we're only up to 6 teeth that have popped out, but there's 2 looming still, which is making Jack snotty and a picky eater, and chewing and sucking on anything he can. He actually bit me the other day, while up on my shoulder giving me hugs. So, I couldn't be too mad at the blood he drew! Oh man, I really hope we don't have a biter on our hands! He's starting to really figure out his surroundings and pushing the limits. He understands "no" and listens quite well when we tell him "no" around Oscar's water, the cable or speaker wires he can get to, or anything else he happens to find that he's not supposed to get into. He's been pulling his curtains in his room through his crib and playing with them, so we have to move his crib out of the way. He's into everything! He loves to play underneath his exersaucer, with easter eggs, water bottles, boxes, balls, books and tags. He loves walks, dancing, and just being silly. He's still not eating much table food, but we are trying a little bit every day, so he'll get there. We went on a playdate last week to a place called "Kids Town" where there's a gross motor area, baby area, and then a bunch of themed rooms (princess room, a "kids club" with dance music, a grocery store, etc). Jack had fun playing with his friends, but he's kinda too big for the baby area and not big enough for the other areas. Plus, almost all of the toys there didn't have working batteries, not cool. We'll take him back a few times, I'm sure he'll love the themed rooms once he can walk around.
This weekend my mom is coming up on Saturday to spend the day with us for Mother's Day. I think we're going out for brunch and this delicious place down the street from us, and then hopefully it'll be nice and Matt can grill kabobs for dinner b/c he does such a good job with those! Who knows what the weather will allow us to do, probably just hang around the house the rest of the time, I know she loves just being with Jack. As for Sunday, I plan on enjoying my first Mother's Day being a mommy! I hope all of my mommy readers have a very happy Mother's Day! Til next time, here's a few pictures...
