We're off to see the Doctor

September 5th 2013,

Naomi's Appointment

Leon,

       Waking up early, your Daddy and I packed up all our stuff in the hotel room before waking you up for breakfast. We had to leave early today to drive two hours to another city for Naomi's doctor appointment. We met with a pediatric surgeon to have baby's belly button looked at. She has an umbilical hernia that has gotten pretty big. Luckily the doctor said it looks like it will heal on it's own, but it could take a couple years to completely heal. You did very good while Naomi was at her appointment, so the doctor let you pick out a stuffed animal from the gift basket. You were super happy about getting a new toy. You tried to take the whole basket, but since you could only have one you settled for the big shark. Thank you for being such a good boy. I love you Leon!

Hanging at the Hotel & Fun at the Mall!

September 4th 2013,

Bored in the hotel room.

Outside Playtime!

Leon,

       Today Daddy was at his training day for work, so it was just you, Naomi and I hanging out at the hotel. We started the day by going down to the continental breakfast the hotel serves. You ate biscuits and gravy and some fruit. We went back up to our hotel room and spent the morning watching cartoons and playing with the toys I brought with us. After lunch you were extremely bored. Luckily the hotel has a nice little courtyard, so I took you down to play outside until nap time.

       When you woke up from your nap Daddy was back. We went to Red Robin for dinner and then went to the mall to walk around. At the mall you got to ride your very first merry-go-round! It had a train, a boat and a puppy you could ride on. You loved it and rode it twice before it was time to go. It was so cute to see you riding the merry-go-round and having so much fun. You are such a big boy now! I love you Leon!

Merry-Go-Round!

Road Trip

September 3rd 2013,

Fries!

Leon,

       Today we left to take a trip out of town. Daddy has a big training day for work tomorrow, so we all went up as a family. It was a long drive, but you napped for half of it. When you woke up we stopped and got some food. You were super happy that we got you french fries and ketchup, so the rest of the drive when pretty smoothly. By the time we got checked in at the hotel it was time for bed. After a bath and some bedtime stories you fell fast asleep on the big comfy bed. Sweet dreams little man!

Growing Up

September 2nd 2013,

Fun in the sun!

Enjoying a beautiful day.

Leon,

       We went to the park to play again today. You and Daddy ran up and down and all around the field kicking the soccer ball and having a blast. While you boys played, Naomi and I enjoyed some relaxing time sitting on the soft grass in the warm sunshine. While Naomi took a nap in her carseat, I read a book until you were ready to head home. You and Daddy played hard until you were both sweaty and exhausted. After dinner and a bath it wasn't long until you were fast asleep. I am so proud of you for falling asleep in your new big boy bed for the second night in a row. You have come to love your room, finally, and I think it has a lot to do with your new big boy bed. You are growing up and becoming more and more independant. I am proud of you and love you with all my heart Leon!

Park Playtime

September 1st 2013,

Showing off and being silly.

Leon,

       When you take a nap late in the day you have a lot of energy when you wake up. Knowing you needed to get out your energy so you would be tired enough to go to sleep at bedtime, we took you to the park to play. You played for two hours running, kicking your soccer ball, swinging and sliding. While we were playing some kids showed up to play at the park too. You got super excited and wanted to play with them. You even went down the slide by yourself to show off for a little girl. I love to see you interact and have fun with other kids. With your fun and playful as well as kind spirit, I know you will make friends easily as you get older. You are such an awesome little boy and I am so blessed to be your Mommy. I love you with all my heart Leon!

An Eventful Day

August 31st 2013,

A New Soccer Ball!

Your first Corn on the Cob!

A New Bed!

Leon,

       We woke up to a sunny warm day today! We put on our summer clothes and sunscreen and then headed to the park to play. While we were there someone was really nice and gave you a soccer ball for you to play with and take home. You love it and had so much fun kicking it up and down the field.

       Today was also a big day for you, because you got your very first big boy bed! We said goodbye to your toddler bed and upgraded you to a super comfy twin size bed. You love it, and you love it even more with your new thomas the train sheets and pillow. You are turning into such an indepentant big boy and I am so proud of you.

       To end our eventful day Nana and Papa invited us over for dinner. Papa barbacued steaks, hamburgers and a hotdog for you on the grill. We even had yummy corn on the cob. It was your first time eating corn on the cob and you thought it was yummy and fun! After dinner you played drums with Papa until you were tired and sweaty. Then it was time for a bath and some clean pajamas. Once you were all clean and cozy we headed home to go to bed. We had an eventful and very fun day today! I love you Leon!

Friday Night Lights

August 30th 2013,

"Feetball!"

Leon,

       Tonight as we got ready to take our evening walk you noticed the football game happening up at the highschool field. You could see the bright lights, here the band playing music and the people cheering loudly. You ran and found you footballs and jumped up and down exclaiming "Feetball game! Feetball game! You were so cute in your excitement to see the "feetball" game (we tried to tell you it is "football" but you insist on calling it "feetball".) We took you over to see the game and you loved it. You had a blast watching the players, talking to people and walking around the track. I think I know what we will be doing Friday nights a lot this fall. I love you Leon!
