To Infinity and Beyond…

Last night we decided to go out for a family dinner and then go to the Disney Store to buy Bo his first Woody doll.  He absolutely loves Toy Story and his friend James has both the Woody and Buzz dolls.  Every time we are at their house Bo always picks up Woody and carries him around the entire time we are there.  So last night we decided it was time for him to have his own.  We haven’t bought Bo any new toys since his birthday and since his “half birthday” is coming up this week :) we thought it would be a fun gift.  Half Birthday meaning…this gives mommy an excuse to buy him a new toy while he’s still too young to understand.  Something tells me this may be our last year of this! 

As soon as we walked in Bo started shouting “Woody, Woody, Woody” he didn’t even want to let go so we could pay for it.  Until…he saw Buzz!  Then he went crazy over Buzz!  I did what every mom would do…looked over at Jarrod who was in the check out line with the look of “how cute is our son, he LOOOOOVES it” and quickly received approval of “just get it, let’s go”!  I’m sure there are a few other dads who can relate to this! 

So last night we played for a while and at one point I heard Bo saying “eee a eee ah e yoooon”  translation “To Infinity and Beyond”!!!  We’ve never taught him this so it’s clearly what he picked up from the movie, which again…makes me think he’s the cutest little boy ever, or he’s watched Toy Story one too many times!  He says it with such enthusiasm!  He also “flies” him around making all the noises one would make while flying…this has made me realize he is officially a little BOY and not a baby anymore!  Kind of bittersweet as he’s about to turn 2 1/2 this week. 

Woody made the cut for taking to bed and of course this morning we woke up to “You’re my favorite deputy”, “Yee haw”, and “There’s a snake in my boot” coming in loud and clear over the monitor.  Woody also joined him for breakfast, naptime, and has been carried around all afternoon.  Oh, and he does love Buzz…we’ve heard way too many “space ranger” noises today too, but I think Woody has a special place with Bo. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Karate Chopper

They had a karate demonstration yesterday at school, but Bo wasn’t there since he’s been sick.  He did however come home with his very own little karate belt today.  He was wearing it when I went to pick him up!

 

Lots of TLC

Well I hope that most of you had a wonderful 4th of July!  We had a very quiet one with lots of lovin’ on Bo.  Little man had fever on and off all weekend so finally yesterday morning I took him in and it turns out he has strep!  Poor guy was so sick yesterday morning, I honestly have never seen him so bad. We started antibiotics and I can already tell he’s much better today…so far no fever!   So our weekend consisted of a lot of this…

AND THIS…

and this…

Family Pizza Night

Normally Friday nights are our “family pizza night”.  We kind of started a tradition of pizza and movies. This Friday I went out with some of my girlfriends for a night out!  Which meant Saturday night turned into our pizza night.  Bo has really developed a love to help mommy “cook”…I LOVE this!  Anytime I am in the kitchen making dinner or any other time he comes in saying “cook” and looking to see what I’m doing.    We are to the point now where we are going to have to get him a good step stool to pull up because he usually ends up sitting on the counter to help and he’s getting way to big for that!  Here he is helping out! Jarrod had just come in from the rain if you’re wondering.

 

 

mouthful of pepperoni and cheese!

trying to decide if he wants to eat a tomato

no on the tomato but he does have a mouthful of lettuce…strange kiddo!

On a different topic…I was so excited to get a sign made by a friend of mine…isn’t it cute!

Father’s Day

We had so much fun this weekend celebrating Father’s Day!  We started off the weekend by taking Bo to see Toy Story 3 on Saturday morning.  Once again he did fabulous in the theater!  He sat through the entire movie!  It was a great movie if anyone hasn’t seen it.  Then Saturday night Jarrod and I had a much needed date night.  We had a wonderful dinner at an Italian restaurant in downtown Lawrenceville and then went for coffee afterwards.  It was so nice being able to eat in an “adult” restaurant without having to shovel our food down in 5 minutes or less!  Sunday Jarrod’s parents joined us for Father’s Day.  We had a great afternoon spending time with them and enjoying a really yummy cookout Sunday night.  I hope Jarrod had a great weekend.  He is such an amazing husband and daddy, we are so blessed to have him.  We love you honey!

 

 

 

  Daddy wanted a real popcorn popper for family movie night! 

  Bo gave daddy a new Hot Wheels Wii game…showing him how it’s done!

Bo & James

We also had fun having James over for a play date one morning.  His mommy wasn’t feeling well so I told her to drop James off while her other 2 were at Vacation Bible School so she could have the morning to rest.  It was a beautiful day so we pulled out the water table, buckets, and popsicles!  The boys had a blast! 

On Tuesday morning Bo also went to his very first movie! Our movie theater here does free family movies on Tuesday/Wednesday mornings at 10:00am during the movie.  I figured it was free so if it was a flop we wouldn’t be out any money.  Like swim lessons I had NO idea what to expect.  We met James and Janice there and watched “Tale of Despereaux”.  Bo LOVED it!!!!!  He sat in his own seat for almost the entire movie!  He even had his own little bag of popcorn which we shared.  It was so much fun!  He was glued to the screen.  After about 45 minutes into the movie most of the kids were going stir crazy, even the older ones, not Bo…he was still eating his popcorn and watching the movie.  James decided he was done with the movie so Janice decided to take him and leave.  After about 5 minutes of them being gone Bo realized his buddy was gone and wanted to go look for him so that’s why we left.  I forgot my camera, but Janice took a few so I’ll post those when I get them from her.  We will definitely be doing that again!

This week

We’ve had a busy first week of summer!  We started swim lessons Monday night.  Bo loves it!  I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but this little guy is fearless and loves the pool.  Which means…no turning your back for a second with him!  His favorite part…jumping, jumping, jumping!  We go every night Mon-Thurs and will do the same next week.  He’s learning to kick, reach with his arms, blow bubbles, put his face in the water, and float on his back (which he hates).  The best way to describe classes with Bo is like trying to wrestle a mexican jumping bean and keep it from drowning!  He obviously has no idea that he can’t stand up or swim so all he tries to do is get away from you.  The other night Jarrod came and did a class with him so I was able to get a few pictures.

 

  Bo’s buddy James!
