Mommy and Me Time!!

We went to the Commerce Library today for Mommy and Me Time and had a blast!! We made lots of new friends and everyone was very nice! Glen met two other little boys that he enjoyed playing with. Glen was the oldest there but only by about 6 months. Glen fell asleep in the car on the way home so we are gonna go to McDonlads for lunch when he wakes from his nap. We can't wait till next fri!

Sippie Cups!!

Glen got to spend some time with Me'me' and Pe'pe' yesterday. He really had fun. Pe'pe' was not feeling well. We hope he is feeling better today.

I spent some quality time with the gym this morning, and I feel great! Need to get back into it and start going on a regular basis again.

Glen and I are gonna head to story time in a bit and we might start going to mommy and me at another library in Comerce on Fridays. On Sept. 2 the Braselton Library is going to start doing story time every Wed. So we might start going to that one too. Variety is the spice of Life. Or so THEY say. We'll try it and see.

Glen has graduated from the soft tip sippie cups to the hard tip sippie cups that are for 18 mos or older. He does not want anything to do with the "baby" sippie cups anymore. Boy is he growing up quick.

Oops!!

Found some pics that I missed when I posted pics earlier. They are some good ones of Glen and Pe'pe' when we went to the fountain at the Mall of Ga. That was a good day except for when I fell and hurt my back, but it's all better now. Glen really enjoyed the water at the fountain and the other kids.

Quiet Time!

We went to dinner with Me'me' and Pe'pe last night and then Glen went home with them and spent the night. He is spending the night tonight too. I am taking the time and enjoying myself. I tried to take Buddy to the park for a walk but he acted funny and wanted to keep going back to the car. So needless to say the walk was not very long. I don't think he is feeling well. Now I am just chillin around the house and enjoying the quiet. Sam and I are gonna watch a movie tonight and do some bird watching out back. I miss Glen, but I enjoy the quiet time.

Off to the Library!!

Took Glen to the library on Tues. He had a really good time. He socialized with all the people there and he stood in the center of the circle when we did the singing and dancing and watched everyone sing and dance. When we did the hokie pokie, we stuck our hands in and shook them all about and Glen saw everyone shaking their hands, so he shook his hands. He was great!! Then we marched in a circle to another song and Glen participated in that too. Then it was time for paints. Glen painted the best picture yet! Then he played with puppets with a couple of other kids and had a good time! We went to the park last week and we went for a walk and then we played on the swing and then we explored the play area and found some neat stuff to play on! We also got Glen and spill resistant bubble holder. It looks like winnie the pooh. He really likes bubbles.

That's all for now!!

Month of July

Well Glen had a big month last month. He learned how to wash a car and I think he really enjoyed it! He even kept his hat on, so he must have been really into washing the car if he didn't realize he had a hat on.

We took a trip to Pa to visit Grandmama and the Gov. for a little vacation. Glen really enjoyed himself. We went to Steam Town which is a national park with Grandmama and Aunt Marcie. It has an old time train station and we got to ride in an old train car that was pulled by an old diesal engine ( I think that is how you spell it). I pushed one of the windows up a little bit so we could get a breeze and Glen really liked it. Afterwards we went to Chuck E Cheese and had some pizza. Glen ate a whole slice. After lunch Glen rode in a couple of the kiddie rides there and he even put the coins in the slots to turn the ride on. We also went to Toys R Us and glen got a bubble machine that looks like a train in honor of his trip. He really enjoys bubbles. I finally got him blowing but not hard enough to make bubbles yet. The next day we went to Dorney Amusement and Water Park with Grandmama, the Gov. and Aunt Laurie. Glen really liked the little kid area. There was a frog slide and with a little help, he climbed up the frogs mouth and slid down the slide into the shallow water. He enjoyed it so much he did it over and over again. He learned that when he came down the slide he needs to walk around back to the ladder part. So now he does the slide at home with no problems. After the water park we went over to the amusement park and had more of a good time. Grandmama, the Gov. and I got to ride a roller coaster, while Aunt Laurie watched Glen. That was a fun roller coaster! Then we walked a round a bit. I tried to find the train ride for Glen but never found the entrance before it got dark. By the time we got back to the car Glen was ready for sleep. We also did cookouts and I got to ride quads with the Gov. and that was a blast. Sam was glad to see us when we got home and we were glad to be home.

Shortly after we got home, Aunt Shannon, Chase and Ty stopped by for a quick visit on their way home from Fl. We had a good time and the Glen really liked the boys. We played a little home run durby with the wiffle ball and we did some mario cart racing on the Wii. We really enjoyed the visit. Maybe next time they can stay longer and we can go to the aquarium or something.

Glen really likes the show Super Why on pbs. While he was watching it this morning he put his hand in his pocket for the first time. And I got it on video! How exciting! Glen is getting a lot better at feeding himself and he no longer walks. It is much more fun to run! He is turning into quite the little climber. We are attempting speach therapy to see if it will help him to start talking. We are a little worried he will be behind when he starts preschool so we are trying to get him caught up sooner than later.

I think that is all for now.

Love,

Sam, Amanda, and Glen
