We had a pretty darn good weekend. I spent most of Friday night and Saturday morning finishing up the editing of Ashley and Jacob's wedding pictures. Then we headed down to Piedmont Park (in downtown Atlanta for those not around here) to meet up with Cecilia and Aaron, which we never got to find unfortunately, and to take pictures of Ashley G. and Brandon for their Engagement announcements. Parking was a nightmare and there were SO many people there, like SO many- but it ended up being really nice. The pictures seemed to have turned out pretty nice and it was a beautiful warm day and Ben had lots of fun with his daddy. You could tell that it did him a lot of good to be outside and get some nice fresh air. Plus he's so content even just people watching from his stroller. He's a very curious kid. He was as happy as could be while we were there and pretty worn out (as well as mommy) when we left! Afterwards, we went to a pizza place for dinner after the Park and then went home and to bed!
It's kind of a nice change once in a while to head into the heart of the City. We are definitely in "The burbs"... so we miss out on a lot of the eccentric and unusual (and sometimes SCARY) people and sites that the city has to offer. These guys were just jamming out... making a little cash, enjoying the warm weather... playing their music. Made for a picturesque moment.
I'm thinking (and hoping) he's going to be an outside kind of kid. He seems to perk right up when he's out there getting that fresh air. I'm glad for that. He gets that from me! Sunday night we got to go to Newnan to visit some friends of mine, the Grush's. It was so good to see them! Here are some pictures!
On another note, the poor kid is getting his top two teeth in- mostly the one on his left side. This time has been more uncomfortable for him I think then the bottom teeth were. I always feel bad for the little babies that have to go through this- so that makes just about every baby I guess. I've reassured him a few times though that he won't remember this and this too shall pass. :) I don't know about you mommies out there with children with teeth, but my kid seems to get this AWFUL cough/cold thing every time and he just doesn't sleep well because of it. Anyone else have that problem? Because of all of this, he's been pretty sensitive the last almost two weeks now. I'll be glad when he gets those chompers in. Also, I've decided I need to stop worrying about him choking on things and really get him going on real food and not jar food. I also need to convince him of it too. He seems ready to chew things, I mean- he "pretends" to be chewing when we feed him, even applesauce! So I'm thinking he's ready. We bought some things for him to try out... now we just need to do it! We're also pretty excited to start buying real milk and not formula and not spending money on jar food anymore!!! We're counting down the days! He's also picked up saying "ball". We've been trying to catch it on video... but haven't been very successful, but it's freakin' cute!!! He says it like "bawl". I love watching his little mouth while he says it! Makes us both smile! We love it! Well, that's about it for now!
