date weekend for momma & daddy

Since this last week was our anniversary, Juice finally said yes to babysitting...it took a lot of begging! haha! Riiiiiiight!

For some reason, Michael has been taking little 30 minute naps during the day...even in his swing! Oh no! But Friday, when we were trying to get all packed up and ready to head to Juice & Pa's, the boy slept and slept! This is how he slept for a while...


He finally woke up and we got on the road. Needless to say, after a good nap, he wasn't in the mood to get in the car and go back to sleep. He doesn't quite get the idea of just riding yet. So, I ended up in the back seat with him and we had a little chit-chat....

He is really starting to talk a ton now. While we were at Juice & Pa's, he would wake up in the middle of the night ready to eat and just talk to himself for a few minutes before he'd get really hungry. It was too cute. And as a matter of fact, today, he giggled at his momma's singing! :)

Saturday, Michael got to stay with Juice all afternoon while his momma & daddy got to go on a date. It was wonderful! It was actually a little weird not having him. We got to go to the Parade of Homes and out to eat. Thank you Juice & Pa for letting us have that time. And thank you Grandma & Granddaddy for the gift card to eat!
Of course, Juice can get him to take good naps at her house! She let him sleep on his tummy on the couch! She assured me that she and Kirby were right there watching him the whole time. At least the boy got some good naps! And it looks like she let him suck his thumb too...bad Juice!


I think he was waving to the camera in this one! I really don't think that he missed his momma or daddy! We sure did miss him though.


He got some good time with Pa too. (He's wearing the shirt that we gave Pa last July for his birthday. It says "Spoiled Rotten by Grandpa." That's how we told them that we were expecting.)


Finally!!!! He finally got to meet his Shelley! His Uncle Curt had been telling him about this pretty girl for a while now and Michael finally got to hold her. He loves his Shelley!

NO UNCLE CURT--YOU CAN'T HAVE HER BACK...SHE'S MINE!!!!


It was a great weekend. We really appreciate the the time we got to spend together and the time we got to spend with Juice, Pa, Curt & Shelley. We can't wait to see ya'll again!
