It's been a couple weeks since the last post, what a crazy last couple of weeks. I'm sleep deprived to say the least but I've also had some really fun experiences recently. First of all my mom came to visit for 2 weeks (SO MUCH HELP) and we made a list of things we wanted to do while she was here. Most days we stayed home and she would take Ethan to the park and let me nap. Since we only have one car we would occasionally take Jon to work early in the morning so that we could have the car during the day. This would mean that Jon would be without his nap place during the day. That's right, Jon goes out to the car and naps during his breaks. You may think this is normal for a dad of a newborn, although he doesn't take care of Corryn at all during the night... but the truth is he's always napped during his breaks. Even on days that he gets a full 8 hours of sleep at night. We're just sleepy people I guess, we love our naps. Thanks Jon for be willing to not nap during your breaks so that my mom and I could use the car to get out of the house.
Some of the things we accomplished while she was here:
Dragonfly Thai- Get the mango and sticky rice, incredibly yummy. Seriously, so good.
Corryn's Blessing Dress- Someone gave us a super cute white dress but it was a 2T. So my mom took it in. (I'm still too scared to touch a sewing machine after piercing my finger. My nail is almost completely healed from that, by the way.)
Swimming at the Beach- I swam in the ocean for the first time since moving here! It was only my second time swimming in an ocean ever, first was at Daytona Beach on our honeymoon. I forgot just how incredibly salty it tastes. Almost revoltingly salty. The waves were pretty big and we had lots of fun jumping them.
Ethan's 1st haircut- We sat him in the kitchen sink and I just went at him with the scissors. It looks cute but I really do miss his long wispy hair... it will grow back.
We also made daily visits to Yogurtland.
My mom watched both kids and Jon and I were able to go on a date. We ate outdoors at the Cheesecake Factory, which is actually really cool. Heat lamps, inches away from the boats and Christmas lights... very romantic atmosphere.
After my mom left Aunt Ranee came for a week. :)
Ethan's trips to the park- Ranee loved taking Ethan to the park... Ethan loved to swing... for like hours. What a great Aunt to swing him for hours. :)
Birthdays- Jon's birthday was first, I got him a wetsuit off craigslist and we went to the beach to watch him boogy-board. For Ranee's birthday we got Yogurtland and had the best steak all of us had ever had at home, Alton Brown's recipe.
Alright, that's it for now. Next posts include Jon's parents come to visit and Corryn's blessing. :)
