We met Anna, Josh, and Dylan in the park near their house on Friday night to watch Shrek on a movie screen that they had set up in the amphitheater. Brantley had a great time watching Dylan, eating puffs, playing with his truck, and hanging out. He held out until almost 9:15 when I decided we should probably head out. I figured he would be out when we got to the car but he didn’t quite fall asleep until we were getting off the exit to go home. We took some really cute pictures of him and Dylan. I love watching him watch other kids. He’s just so amazed.
Saturday I took Anna’s BOB stroller to the park to test it out and see if I might want to buy it from her. It was a no brainer. So smooth compared to my jogging stroller. I have LOVED my stroller and have had no complaints with it. It was very helpful when Brantley was still in his carrier because it popped right in his stroller and it’s been a great stroller. It is a great stroller for someone who walks for exercise but the more I’ve gotten in to running the more I’ve been stroller jealous of other moms at the park. And now that I’ve had a taste of the BOB stroller I’m spoiled. Saturday afternoon we went to a local flea market and looked around. Then Saturday night we dropped Brantley off at Anna’s and headed to Hartwell Speedway to watch Craig’s co-worker race. I LOVE racing! I grew up spending Saturday nights at the dirt tracks watching sprint cars with my dad. So I loved the smell of gasoline mixed with dust and the sound of their engines. We stopped by Craig’s boss’ house on our way home. Based on the pictures and videos Anna set, Brantley had a great time. Even if he did have his picture taken in a Georgia helmet.
Sunday was a big day! Not only did Brantley start crawling on Saturday (like seriously crawling from one side of the room to the other – not a couple of crawls before toppling over), but Sunday he said his first word! He and I were outside hanging out in his wagon while Craig worked on his truck. We were going to go to the park to run, but I wanted him to have a chance to wake up from his nap before we left. He is at this stage where he copies everything we do. If we cough, he coughs. If we laugh, he laughs. So I was recording him laughing. When I got ready to turn the video off I said “Say bye-bye”, and he looked at me waving my hand bye behind the camera and said it back to me! I looked at Craig and said, “Did you just hear that?” I will post the video soon.
Crawling and his first word all in one weekend! He is growing so fast!
