You are 6 and 1/2 months old and we thought now was as good of time as any to leave you for the night and do a mini staycation. You were in great hands (with Nana) so Daddy and I went to a local hotel and enjoyed some time to ourselves. Of course we missed and were so excited to be greeted with a huge smile from you when we walked in the door. You are our whole world but we want to make sure we take time to focus on our relationship and set a good example for you so you can one day have a happy healthy marriage.
Such a big day for you with so many firsts!
-First time sitting in the buggy like a big boy
-First time picking out a big boy toy
-First time paying with your own money (note the gift cards you are eating in the lower right picture)
We made a big deal out of this shopping trip and let you test out tons of toys. We also photographed every minute of it so the shoppers of target were probably wondering what the heck we were doing.
You are growing so fast! Its funny how little milestones like this are such a huge deal to us. When it comes to you everything is important.
We kicked off the fun weekend with a dip in Nana's pool. Despite the fact that the water felt like ice you still had a great time splashing in your float.
We met grandpa for lunch at Kolache Depot.
On Friday night it was time to start the Polka festivites with the King and Queen dance contest at the Sokol hall. Nana and David were last year's King and Queen so the whole family came to watch their final dance. You got all dressed up in your Polka vest that great grandma made for you. So darn cute!
You were such a trooper and even though we kept you out past your bedtime every night you feel asleep wherever we were and slept all night once we got you home.
The next day you skipped nap time to check out the parade. One cool dude!
We took you to the annual horse-shoe tournament to show you off to all of our friends. You loved meeting everyone and let all of our friend's take turn holding you. I am soo glad you aren't in the stranger danger phase yet:)
After a long weekend we headed back to Dallas and let you go for a swim in the blow up pool. I think about how blessed we are to spend weekends like this with family and friends. I also think about our traditions like the National Polka Fest that you are now a part of and hope that one day you will have wonderful memories from the festival.
This weekend we let you try out our old high-chair at Nana's house.
You looked awfully cute and grown up in it but you slowly started to scoot your way down to the point where you were about to slip out the bottom so we put you back in your bumbo. Maybe we will try again next month!
I wish I could capture every moment of you playing with your daddy on camera. You guys love rough housing together and have such a special relationship. Watching the two of you interact brings me so much joy.
You are one lucky little guy to have such an amazing man as you Daddy. I cannot wait to watch you grow into a little mini version of him:)
Its official. You love the water. You have loved taking baths from day 1 and this weekend we put you in a little blow up pool and you loved it (although in the video you look really concerned). Such great memories!
There is just something about you and your big boy pjs that I cannot get enough of! You love getting ready for bed and we have some of the funnest times playing right before bedtime when you are comfy in your pjs.
