Nice Weekend!

We had a pretty relaxing weekend. Since Ethan hurt his ankle, he couldn't go to Karate so we didn't leave the house on Saturday. It was actually pretty nice to not be running around all day long. This morning when I dropped Ethan off at school, I told him I was going to walk in there and talk to the office so I knew everything was okay with him being out of school last week (Stephanie kept him home for 3 days last week!). He totally did not want me to go into school with him. He said I didn't need to and that I could just drop him off. I told him I just wanted to make sure I didn't need to do anything and to let them know that Ted would be picking him up from school today. Even as we were walking into the school, he still kept saying, "You could have dropped me off. You don't need to go in!" I guess he was embarassed and didn't want me walking him into school. Oh to be that age again and have that as your only worry! :)

After Brody's nap on Saturday morning, I brought him down and decided to have some tummy time with him to see if he would attempt to crawl. He still does not like to be on his tummy for long periods of time, but he actually was having fun playing and rolling around. He was attempting to crawl and would get up on his arms and back away from me. It was funny. He was also trying to grab for his toys and as soon as he would almost reach it, I would pull it back a little more just to see if he would come forward and grab it. He would get frustrated and then give up and start to put his hands in his mouth. Everything goes in his mouth now....his bib, his burp cloth, toys, his hands....everything!

I introduced Brody to the sippy cup for the first time this weekend. He wasn't sure what to do with it and brough it up to his mouth, but would only chew on the top. He did get a little bit of water that was in it and had this face like, "what the hell was that?" Needless to say, his attention span was pretty short and the sippy cup became uninteresting to him.

I was also trying to get another picture of the boys to post on my blog and Brody was more excited with what was going on with Ethan. One of the pictures below shows Brody looking like he is pulling Ethan's hair. Oh Ethan, this is just the beginning! :) I ended up getting a good one that I posted on the right side of the page. There is too much testosterone in my house....I need some estrogen! :)

I told Ted to smile more and not to look so blah in the picture. This is what I got!

Today, I am getting ready to leave for a work trip to Washington State. I don't want to go, but we are meeting with our partners on this opportunity and I have to, so no other choice. Our meeting is all day tomorrow and then I am taking the red eye back tomorrow night. I am supposed to get in around 10:00 am Wednesday morning and I decided to work from home because I am sure I will be pretty tired. Atleast it is a small trip. Ted is on Daddy-duty for the next couple of days. It will give him some bonding time with Brody without me being around to distract either one of them! Have fun Daddy!!

Hope everyone has a good week!
