Wonderful Week!

Last week was a WONDERFUL week!  Bobby took the week off and so did I (just kidding, sorta).

OK, let's start with the Saturday before last....We transitioned Tanner into his big boy bed (finally) and he did WONDERFUL with it!!  I thought that he would need extra reading and snuggle time before nap, but instead, he literally pushed me off of his bed and said "night, night." He has been doing great in it ever since.  (There have been a few times of reminding him to get back into bed during naps, but only a few)   This was Bobby's special day to do whatever he wanted.  So he went to a free concert with Marc, then swimming at Tony's, then to Grapevine for a beer.  Then the gang all came here (Jac and Tony, Marc and Kas).  It was so fun hanging out with everyone!  And we were celebrating Kas passing the GMAT!!  :)

Then Sunday, was my day!!!  Jac and I went out to lunch at, guess where.......yup, Olive Garden!  We then went to see the movie, Bridesmaids.  It was WONDERFUL and hilarious!!!!  A must see, for sure!!!!  We finished the day by shopping!  Loved it!!!!

During the week, I got to do some solo shopping.  I also went on a coffee date with my Mommies group sans babies (for me).  I took Tanner to the Rock Hill Children's Museum just the two of us.  It was so nice to hang with just my big boy, like old times!!  I also got to do a dinner out with Maggie and Jac in Baxter Village, so relaxing!!

Friday was date night!!  Or first since Brennan was born.  Maggie and Jacqui babysat the boys and said they did great!  Bobby and I were going to see the new Pirates movie, but we didn't have time before our dinner reservation, so instead, we got some pre-dinner drinks at a wine bar.  The we went to dinner at Villa Antonio in Ballantyne, so yummy!

Then this Sat. was my friend Shannon's bridal shower.  There was tons of wine and all of my teacher friends were there!  So fun!  Then we ended the night with dancing, just like old times!!!  Can't wait for the wedding!!!!!!

This week I got a much needed break, and Bobby got a little taste of what I do everyday, all day long!  He even said that he can now understand how I feel at times, and I really appreciate that!  I am so thankful for my sweet and hardworking hubby!  What a WONDERFUL week!!!

My baby is three months old!!!!!

Hello all! On May 9th, baby Brennan will be 3 months old!!! Where has the time gone? We sure have been busy around here....well, Brennan has been sleeping through the night for the past few days. Hooray!!!! He goes down around 8, and can (most nights) soothe himself to sleep. He wakes up around 5, eats and goes back down until 8ish. He is still a very easy baby, he only cries when hungry or tired. He will "play" for 20 minutes with his tummy time mat, which is great when I need to cook or clean. He is starting to get fussier when we are out, but I blame that on the fact that he gets so hot in his car seat. His hair is getting a little lighter, but I think it will stay brown. He has laughed one time with me, but many times with Daddy! :)

Tanner is going to be 2 in two months! He is doing great in school. His teachers comment on how sweet he is!! :) He is talking up a storm. He loves to sing and dance and just be silly! He has decided on a lovey......it's a sock. Well not just one kind of sock, any will do. At first, I tried to discourage it. But I have given into it. Whatever works!!! He has been showing an interest in using the potty, so I am going to start potty training in June (since he is out of school). Any tried and true tips are welcome!! Tanner loves to ride on the lawnmower with Bobby. He still likes to do art and loves, loves, loves going "outhside". The Easter bunny hid eggs in the yard for Tanner and he enjoyed finding them.

Well.....guess that's all for now!!!!
