Davis, do you want to go to bed?

Of course, immediately after this I took him upstairs and put his pjs on him. I then started to rock him but he pointed to his crib. I said "do you want to get in your crib?" he nodded yes. So in his crib he went and he has been asleep since. This has been his newest thing-he no longer wants Jason and I to rock him-instead he points to his crib and asks to go to bed--smart kid!

Elmo!

Have I mentioned that we have an Elmo fan in our house?

This weekend Lauren bought Davis some Elmo crocs. To say that Davis was pumped is an understatement. I tried to get him to try on a new pair of tennis shoes and a new pair of church shoes-he FLIPPED OUT! No way was he taking off his Elmo crocs. I have never seen him so excited-he was running all over the store and the sales ladies were cracking up.

Thank you Lauren for the Elmo crocs:

Night Night

Davis was wide awake when we put him in his crib tonight. He has been talking to himself for about an hour. I could not resist sharing-it is way too cute!

Mommy/Davis Day

Yesterday was a mommy/Davis day.

We started the event by heading to Toys R US for new toys. You can see in the background our new shopping cart:
We headed to Memorial Park for some playground and swinging fun:

We stopped off at the mall to ride the carousel a few times:
And shared a bowl of chocolate ice cream from Marble Slab:
Then headed home and both collapsed!

How do you say?

Davis has had a rough week. He was sick all week and missed an entire week of school. Nothing adds to mom guilt like leaving your sick baby with someone else. Friday I took the day off to be with my little monster. It was such a great day-we had lots of mommy/Davis time.

Davis is really starting to add to his vocabulary.

Here we are practicing....

Elmo! Elmo! Elmo! Elmo! Elmo!

This weekend we headed to Grammy and Papa's house. Davis had a blast! We spent a lot of time out in the front yard playing--he loves the tunnel Papa bought him!

Saturday we headed over to SeaWorld. They have a whole Sesame Street area. Davis is so into Elmo-he was delighted. When Elmo walked out on stage he was ENAMORED. His eyes never left the stage. Here is Davis with Jason trying to get front stage to say hi to Elmo!
Mom and Davis waving to cookie monster!
They have a Sesame Street water park. It was SO hot, so heading over to the splash pad was fantastic. The water was refreshing and Davis had a great time crawling through the tunnel. However, he continued to say "Elmo?" over and over. So this mom went on a mission. I located Elmo backstage and took Davis to meet him. Davis would blow him a kiss but when Elmo tried to high five him he crawled over my shoulder! He was great with Elmo at a safe distance!
Grover got a little too close....
Papa thought Davis needed a toy. If it is not one Papa spoiling him it's the other one!

Davis was asleep in his stroller before we made it to the car!

Davis also had fun hanging out with Uncle Bubs. Poor Uncle Bubs had to sleep on the futon. He asked my mom for a blanket and this is what she brought him:
We laughed really hard at that one.

My dad and I had a blast playing one on one. I beat him. Since this is my blog he has no way of disputing that!
It was just like old times. I cannot tell you how many games we played in the driveway...
We loved our time in San Antonio and cannot wait to go back!

Weekend at Nana and Papa's House

Jason headed out of town this weekend so Davis and I headed to Nana and Papa's for the weekend. To say that they spoil Davis is a bit of an understatement. It is no wonder that he woke up both mornings saying "Nana? Papa?"

Davis is OBSESSED with lawnmowers. He loves them. He repeats the word a million times a day and is very happy when you repeat it back to him. Saturday morning we ate pancakes and then headed outside to track down the lawnmowers. Not kidding when I say he sat like this for a good twenty minutes fascinated:

Davis has grown so much. The tummy hanging out of the shirt was a pretty good indication that it was time for more clothes. So we headed out to the outlet mall Saturday to find some good bargains. Of course, someone, ahem Papa, decided Davis needed a snack. A cookie and some chocolate milk made Davis very happy:
Papa also thought to bring some quarters. No better way to entertain a toddler:
After nap time we headed to Memaw's house to swim in the pool....
It was a great weekend and a wonderful reminder of how blessed I am to have the in-laws/second parents I have. Thanks Nana and Papa for such a fun weekend!
