Almost 2

I have lots to post and no energy or time to do so, including a fabulous vacation thanks to this time-share thing (don't worry we didn't buy) to HAWAII- Honolulu! I was FINALLY able to take vacation days at work being there 6 months, and that I did! Oh, how I loved being able to see David all week. But, we did have a babysitter! We brought my mom and it was great!

I'm online right now shopping for D's birthday presents. I know exactly what I want to buy him. I went to Toys-R-Us and scoped things out, but I'd prefer not to buy new because, it's all junk anyways. I'm scanning craigslist and I'm realizing living in a small town is terribly bad for craigslist (especially if your looking for specific things). I miss Atlanta! You could find ANYTHING on there. I think the only way to buy used in WR is to go garage saleing, but honestly, my Saturdays are consumed with laundry, cleaning, organizing, etc. and I just don't have the time ('keeping house' whoever said weekends were for enjoyment?? hah!). The Macon MOPS does have 2 huge consignment sales a year- the next one coming up in September (a little too late for birthday gifts!). For the next couple of weeks I'm going to be night stalking the craigslist. (it's blocked at work)

The water damage in David's room spurred us to redecorate D's room. I knew it was coming because the asthma/allergist specialist told use we needed an allergy friendly room (no curtains, cloth surfaces, stuffed animals, minimize any surface that collects dust). It is actually very sad for me to take down his baby room. I really loved how it was decorated. My mother-in-law made this shelf and picture board to his specific bumble bee theme and it was all so cute. The new room is good, but just not the same! We painted over the green with gray to go along with the Thomas bed that my boss gave us that David now sleeps in (and is obsessed with). We painted is dresser white. We really don't have many decorations. We did put a train sticker type thing on the wall. I'll have to post a picture! We did move his train table to the room, and that fits well.

Pictures from late June/ July including trip to the GA Aquarium for father's day along with a ride in the MARTA, a trip to the allergist, the wall damage, July 4th, a Sunday visit from the Grandparents, and maybe some more...



Since, David can answer 'How old are you' we decided to teach him to answer 'What's your name'. He knows his name is David because he points to pictures and says it, but he doesn't know how to respond to that question. Well, in the process of trying to teach him, his answer was 'dog' followed by laughter and then 'dog' more laughter and again... Silly boy.
