Earlier in the month CR's Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw and their friends Ms. Charlene and Mr. Frank came to visit. It was a fun weekend of shopping, dinners, and swimming. We shopped all day at the Katy Mills on Saturday and CR was as good as gold, EXCEPT for one point when we were in the Stride Rite. I thought I might start looking for a pair of shoes for him. After wrestling for some time to fit his feet in the shoes, he promptly looked at me, looked at the shoe on his foot and gave out an enormous and unhappy howl. Shoes came off, and we immediately left the store. He did get a bit bored at the end of the day, resulting in the picture below.
Really?
That night we went out to dinner and CR sat in his booster chair and enjoyed dinner with the grownups. We went swimming the next day at Gina and Dan's.

Last week we tried some big people food, first at Gina's (zucchini and chicken ground up), and then at home (sweet potato and peaches and beans). CR seems to enjoys stuffing whatever morsels that are on his tray into his mouth, he does this with great relish, and I think he really likes the sweet potatos.
Yum! (Obviously Mom is not a big fan of a little invention called 'the bib')
In other news the past few weeks, CR moved into the next room in daycare. This was almost enough to send me over the edge (too soon Momma!), but luckily I still drop him off at Ms. Karen's room in the mornings which makes things seem more like normal. With regard to daycare, he enjoys seeing all of his pals - 5 boys and just 2 girls -and 'daycare toys', actually laughs on his way in the door nearly every morning, and the afternoon girls still 'fight' over who get to hold him and carry him around. So really, what more can I ask for? It made me laugh this week when Ms. Karen told me - smiling with affection the whole time - they were going to mark him with a 'T' for trouble, Charlie and I are seeing that mischevious look in his eye at home too!
That's all for now, hope all is well with everyone!
(PS: CR has since successfully worn his sandals without complaint the past two weekends since the 'shoe store incident'.) : )
