Birthdays and Baseball

Don't ask me where I have been. Blame it on Comcast. We haven't had internet since Tuesday! I tried blogging from my phone but that was just near impossible. When we called Wednesday... Sunday was the first available appointment and here we are- back up and running!

Mom and I celebrated birthdays on Wednesday! Christopher loved singing happy birthday to us and giving presents. (For some reason though, when he sings happy birthday he puts in a little boy's name from a party we went to back in July! Must have been a pretty memorable party for Christopher!)  Nana had made one of those handprint dough prints with Christopher for me and Christopher gave Nana a "Nana" charm for her Pandora bracelet. Christopher was so excited about eating CAKE - it's all we heard about from the time mom brought it... but after stuffing his face with baked ziti, he didn't have much room left for cake. The craziest thing about our birthday evening was that we spent it with the fireplace on! Remember internet down... well how about an air conditioning unit that WON'T TURN OFF. I came in from work on Wednesday to a house that was 61 degrees! Holy cold. (Not all conincidences... we had a bad storm come through Tuesday and sent everything into a tizzy.) Christopher kept saying he was cold and asking for his jacket. I think he went to bed that night with 3 blankets, socks, and winter pajamas.

Christopher got to wear underwear to daycare this week! When Matt went to get him dressed Tuesday morning, it was all Matt could do to get him in a Pull-up. Starting Wednesday he did get to wear underwear though! He was so excited and so proud. He had the biggest smile on his face telling Uncle Anthony about wearing underwear to school!

Christopher started pre-school on Tuesday! He is learning about the body this month. This is his puppet he made the first day! When we got in the car this day, he asked me to take his picture to send to daddy!The next day he made a bobblehead and is learning the song and movements to "head, shoulders, knees and toes."  They are also learning about being polite and saying please and thank you. I'm crossing my fingers that the "thank thank" stays for a little while longer.

Just practicing baseball!

We took Christopher to a football game Friday night- we went to see North Cobb High School play. He sat on Matt's shoulders for most of the game and loved watching the boys get hit.

En route to the game. Thrilled. He started singing "Take me out to the football game" as we were heading there.
 
Yes this is all we do...

Playing at the lake!

College football Friday!

Playing at daycare. Christopher and Luke were going headfirst backwards down the slide. Matt didn't know about this until he went to help Christopher in the bathroom and I heard "Why does Christopher have pinestraw in his butt?"
 
And on to some videos...

We have to make it through this week and then we are heading to Florida Sunday! (except for Matt. Poor guy.) Christopher is all ready to spend a few days at the beach and heading to the Yankees game! I have started working on getting together our themed books for this trip- baseball! Christopher got this super cool ABC Yankees board book to take with us! He is going to work really hard to get it signed! :)

Have a great week!
Be kind!
