Beautiful Mess

Date Night January 20, 2009

Pat and I were able to go on a date last night thanks to Pat’s mom. We had an amazing dinner at FireWater Chop House. It is super expensive (we had a gift certificate from Restaurant.com), but the food was great.
After dinner we went to see the movie Defiance. It was awesome. Daniel Craig did an awesome job.
I love having time to spend with just Pat. We had a great night together.
Shay also had a great night hanging with his Gran Jan.
I’m definitely feeling spoiled. Two date nights in one week!

 

Table Food January 19, 2009

Shay has been a little slow getting started on table food.  It’s difficult to eat most table food when you only have two teeth :)  Here are some pictures of him eating his first waffle, and then some ravioli. He had a blast!

Now we just need to teach him how to chew with his mouth closed!

I love watching Shay get older.  He amazes me everyday.

 

The 5 Minutes after Breakfast January 19, 2009

I’ve been wondering why I haven’t been blogging as much as I did before. I have figured it out. This is what happened in the 5 minutes after breakfast this morning.

He went from the high chair, straight to the trash can.

Then it was off for Bora’s nasty tennis ball.

A brief climb in his seat.

Enough of that!

He had to stop to eat something off the floor.

Off to the stairs.

We can’t forget the stereo.

Ok, that’s more like it!

I think the only thing he didn’t go for this morning was Bora’s food!

 

A little late January 3, 2009

We have just seemed to be so busy lately. I’m finally sitting down long enough to post some pics from Christmas. We had a great time with my family in Virginia. We stayed busy while we were there. We were able to see lots of family and friends. Shay was perfect…except for any time it was time for sleep. He didn’t want to miss a thing.

Shay is just a small little teddy bear!

Shay was just saying, “I think there’s something for  me!”

Shay was fascinated by Elmo.  It’s hilarious to watch :)
