Yay for a Birthday, New House, Teething and Bananas!

Can't believe it has been 5 days since my last blog! It has been yet ANOTHER busy weekend. It's kind of funny too because one of the nights this week when my hubby came home, I think it was Wednesday or Thursday, he said we can't keep going 100mph hour on the weekends or somethings gotta give. He was also referring to me having something to do every night of the week. Well, little did he know, because I was NOT going to bring it up during this particular conversation, but we are booked every weekend until the 3rd weekend in June! So if anyone wants to get together, go camping, hike the Boundary Waters, whatever, you let my hubby know...we're free that 3rd weekend in June! He would LOVE to do something! Haha. Anyway, to me, we're not really "booked", we just have something going on every weekend. Even if it's not every day of every weekend, my hubby still says it's too much. Boo.

With that being said, after 13yrs of being together I have learned something very valuable about each other that is important when making sure things work. He's an introvert and I'm the extrovert. As I've gotten older, however, I have definitely become more of an introvert as well. I don't do as well in a group of people that I don't know. I completely shut off. But as my husband has gotten older, I think he has become more extroverted and outgoing than he ever was when he was younger. So maybe we are still trying to figure out that "happy medium" after 13yrs of togetherness :) As extroverted or introverted as I am, I am a busy body. I can not relax. I always have hundreds of things on my mind. Hundreds of things to get done. Which then means, hundreds of things on the "honey do list". This drives him crazy. My husband on the other hand...he likes being home and relaxing.

Extrovert vs. Introvert

So there's a little background information for you on the type of couple we are. We actually do work well together and balance each other out...most of the time :)

 Back to our weekend...my step-sister was in town from NYC to celebrate her birthday. She came over and hung out with the boys and myself on Friday. It was great to see her and have a little one on one time with her. As many stories as I have about T, you would think we have this outgoing, free spirited little boy. This is NOT the case. Believe it or not, he takes a looooong time to warm up and start interacting with people he doesn't see as often. It actually can be quite frustrating for us as parents because we want him to be that silly kid we see on a daily basis when it's just us at home! Of course, kids never perform the way you want/need them too though. So it was nice she was able to come spend the day with us.

Playing with chalk!

Going for a little stroll down the sidewalk.

Oops. Mommy spoke, so the "stroll" got cut short because he needed to come back.

Next time Auntie K comes to visit, maybe T will actually PEDAL the bike! :)

Saturday we headed to Auntie K's birthday party at my parent's new home. I was bummed because I packed my camera in my purse...but then decided not to bring my purse, just the diaper bag. Hence, I didn't have my camera with :( The party still went on, and it was lots of fun! I can not wait to spend many more birthdays together in that house.

Luckily Auntie C, having her IPhone, we could still get some pictures of Auntie K and G together. Note to self: Take pictures earlier in any event we attend. If you wait too long, G will have eventually been stripped down to a diaper, and he WILL be fussy because he just wants to go to bed...

This picture does not flatter his tummy by any means :)

Happy Birthday Auntie K!

We eventually had to go home because G was NOT giving up and was screaming bloody murder in his car seat. I thought he had just been over stimulated and didn't want to miss out on the action. But turns out, the next morning we felt a tooth! One would think I should know that my child is teething. But you have to understand something about G. He is as unpredictable as they come. He smiles huge...he pukes on you. He shoves his whole fist in his mouth for 2 months...he's not teething, he just wants to eat All. Of. The. Time. He can sit by himself...but he wants to stand. G can not stand by himself. My arm muscles are getting a good work out in every day because if this. We literally tell G to "SIT" as if he were a dog! He stiffens up and does everything in his power to not bend any of his limbs. We have to force him to "bend at the hips". He's fine once all is said and done. But the process brings a lot of grunting on his part, and us saying "G. You...have...to...sit!".

Sunday's Funny Moment of the Day: Daddy decides to mash up some bananas for G being he JUST had a bottle and was still acting famished. He feeds G and the bananas go everywhere. You also have to understand, G is an aggressive eater. He wants that food fast. It then turns into getting all over himself, all over ourselves, and all over the floor. All of a sudden, Daddy looks at me in the corner of his eye with a crinkled up nose and says, "This is so gross! He's getting it everywhere and now we're going to have ants!" O.M.G. How much more dramatic could he be!?!? Lol.So G finishes his bananas and I sit him on the floor, G turns his head to watch what T is doing, and out oozes banana from his neck rolls. Not even exaggerating. Then he turns to the other side, and more banana oozes out of his rolls. This kid had mashed up bananas in every roll possible! This only made the husband be that much more dramatic about G's eating "skills" or lack there of.

My weekend ended with being able to meet up with my old college roommate. That's two long time friends in the span of just over a week that I have been able to get together with and we were able to pick up as if there was no time in between that had passed. Life is good.
