This weekend, T had his first spend the night out with his grammie and gramps. BT's parents were so great to meet us halfway between here and Montgomery on Saturday and let T spend the night with them Saturday night. I have a feeling they were HAPPY to do it! It was hard for me, but I knew it was time for us to have a night 'off.' Plus it made it easier for me knowing the only person that it was hard on was me, not him in any way. They had a great time with him, and the only thing was that he woke up for them at 3:30am, he hasn't done that in a long time. He did it again last night for us. It's probably a little preview of what we have in store in the next week getting out of a routine.
Friday night, we went to grab some Mexican food, then came home and I made these delicious Oreo balls that I found the recipe for on this blog here. They were DELICIOUS, and even though they were messy to make, they were so easy. Great thing to take to a party (which is what we did with them Saturday night, more on that below).
Saturday morning, before we took T to meet the grandparents, I went and got my hair cut a short cut for Christmas, and an eyebrow wax. Made a huge difference in me feeling like a woman again and less a like spit-up target.
Anyway, even though we missed him, we had a FANTASTIC time. This was T on our way to meet the grandparents:
Saturday afternoon, we took a nap, then Saturday night we went out on a dinner date to Smith's Oysters & Burgers, which if you have never been, you should. They make a mean patty melt and wicked good smashed potatoes. Then after that, we went to a friend's Christmas party. It was so nice seeing all of our friends and getting out of the house and socializing with adults! Then the next morning, we definitely slept in until 10am and topped off our weekend with a trip to Waffle House. We picked up T Sunday afternoon feeling refreshed and happy. I missed my boy, though. It was so good to get him back!
This is a picture of a few things this week, and pre-haircut and obviously with no contacts and glasses on, but you can see what he's been working on lately. He loves being like this in my lap and practicing his neck control. He's getting good at it, and I'll be glad when he gets this part completely mastered.
Anyway, this will probably be it for the blogging for me until around New Year's. I'm sure I'll have tons of Christmas pictures at that point. Until then, have a very very Merry Christmas and a Happy Happy New Year!
