1. Kate came to visit and Christopher was none too happy about her arrival. The first thing he said to her was "my mommy" like she was going to steal all of my attention. I, however, was super excited to see her. I think by the time she was leaving he had started to warm a little. I think she just needs to move here after college so he will be more used to her. :) Kate brought Christopher a big book of Disney Junior stories which he was so excited about it and he got his first Florida State t-shirt for next football season.
2. Nana and Granddaddy came to visit the day Kate left. They stayed for a week. They went house shopping on Monday, made and offer on Wednesday, and close on May 9th! :) We are all very excited about that!
3. Christopher turned 2 on Thursday. We didn't do a party this year- just a little get together that night with family and some neighbors. Christopher quite enjoyed opening his presents.
4. Christopher also got a big boy room Wednesday! :) You may remember the video of him seeing it all painted. Well, Nana and Granddaddy spent the better part of Wednesday getting his bed all put together. We haven't quite finished hanging everything but he is definitely loving his room, especially his chalkboard wall!
5. Today we went to church with our neighbors. We haven't been since Christmas. (Does that make us "Chreasters"???) I am sure that will change once mom and dad move here, but we gladly accepted the invitation and took Christopher to church. (Last night, we took Christopher out to dinner with his buddy Elliot and he was a maniac so you can only imagine the nerves I was feeling walking in to church.) Thankfully, Christopher was awesome. He sat with us and pretended to sing and after the children's sermon, they called the kids to the front and off he went- took Ms. Toni's hand and was off. He didn't even look back. I do think I heard a "bye, mommy, bye" as he got to the door to leave. Needless to say, it was the most peaceful church service I have been to since Christopher was born.
6. We went to Christopher's well checkup on Friday. He has gained 3 inches in 6 months. The only question I had for the doctor was about his sleeping because since we have been back from the beach, he hasn't been sleeping that great. I think it's because we shared a king bed there. Before that Christopher has only been in our bed to watch cartoons while we are doing stuff for work. Now I think he realizes that he technically could sleep with us so he wakes up early and wants us. Hopefully it is just a phase and "this too shall pass." The doctor answered me with, "Well, he needs to be on a routine with a good schedule and a set bedtime." I wanted to jump out of my chair but I know the doctor doesn't know me from the next person, so I explained to her that he does have a routine and we stick to it- in the nicest way possible. (And if you know me well enough you know there is a routine in our house and how I feel if we deviate from it.)
And those are all of our big things.. I think that's all of them anyway! Enjoy the pics!
Heading to the park last weekend to play with Uncle Mark and Aunt Cindy!
Leaving the park. Thankfully this is tired face and not mad face.
We had our neighborhood egg hunt last weekend!
I had to coach him a lot.
PUT IT IN YOUR BASKET!! HURRY! GET MORE EGGS!
(You know I am competitive.)
We put together Christopher's table for his room. We have had this table since before he was born. We saw it and had to buy it and finally gave it to him.
Loving some rice cakes... aka popcorn. :)
Today we took off the box spring to Christopher's bed. It was so super high with it. He couldn't get into bed with the railings when it was that high.
This is Christopher's chalkboard wall with his Braves table. We had the shelf built for his stuffed animals.. and eventually all of his trophies he will win. :) (I am aware that we may need a bigger shelf.)
This was the Easter Egg Hunt after church. Christopher is right in the middle.. and heading right for that big pile of dirt.
After the egg hunt. See my dress? Matt came home with it one day after work. I know. He is the best. He went to my favorite little shop after work one day and surprised me.
Christopher's weight bench from Uncle Anthony. He likes to say he is "workin' it."
Not sure why it is sideways but he loved the icing on his cupcake!
Sideways again?!?! His new Nemo toys.
This was Christopher the first night in his new bed. He was soooo excited!
See how high the bed was?!?! Definitely better lower.
He got a jigsaw and lots of tools from Nana and Granddaddy. I think they hope to start Christopher off as a handyman since his mommy and daddy certainly aren't.
His birthday picture at daycare!
Workin it.
Thank you Miss Tiffany for my birthday balloon!
Building with Nana. I am trying to figure out what toys are going to Nana's house. It is time to get rid of some!
And now for the videos... which I don't know how many I have.
getting to see his new room
workin' it
That's it! Hope everyone has a great week!! :)
Be kind.
