Back to Reality

We just got back from a week long vacation, visiting my family in New England. As always, we had a wonderful time; it always seems to fly by.

While on vacation, HH and I celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary. Hard to believe it's been seven years. What was super nice is that my parents sprung for us to spend the night away at a B&B on the coast, while they watched Mr. P. It was a much needed getaway for the two of us, and we really enjoyed it.

Mr. P had so much fun with the family and soaked up all the attention! He's saying new words every day, including my current favorite, 'fart'. He also began counting on his own. He can get as high as six and then needs a little help. He's using more and more two-word sentences also which is really cool because it means he's really beginning to communicate a lot with us. He's developing into such a cool little boy... except for when he's hitting, kicking, pinching or biting. Yeah, we've been rocking the Time-Outs a lot lately!

Also, I think his next set of molars are starting to come in because he's been having a hard time sleeping the last couple of nights. Which reminds me, I finally installed the toddler bed rail last night, after Mr. P kept falling out of bed in the middle of the night and once got stuck under the bed after rolling under there while he was sleeping. Sounds funny, but it definitely wasn't at the time since he ended up with scrapes up and down his arm from the exposed metal springs. Ouch! At least that's finally been taken care of, which helps me sleep better at night too!
