First dinner out

Last Friday was Aaron's birthday. Spencer's Mom offered to watch Eric so Aaron and I could enjoy a night out to dinner. It was so nice for everyone. Sharen and Eric had fun and Aaron and I got to enjoy a yummy dinner at Clemetine. We can't thank Sharen enough for giving us such a great birthday present.

Sharen an Eric ready to hang out


All dressed up for our night out. I actually showered, did my hair, put on make-up, and removed my slippers.


Eric is doing lots of new things. He is working on rolling over. He has made it all the way over a few times. He is loving tummy time while he plays with his toys, alternating with his stuffed puppy and his rings. He really gets his "game face" on when he is working the rings or his rattle. He can't even be distracted. Judith, the visiting developmental nurse, said he get very intense while playing with his toys. She told that is genetic. Hmmm, yes, I think Aaron and I both carry the intensity genes. We are not quite sure what he is trying to do with the rings, but he gets so frustrated and upset with them sometimes that we have to take them away and give him something soft and cuddly to play with.

Eric knows how to kick up his heels and have a good time


Eric is trying to charm little miss Stella Steinbach. She let him hold her hand. Don't tell Daddy Ben.


Eric has advanced to level 2 nipples on his bottle and is chugging it down so easily. He also grabs at everything, your face, fingers, bottle, food....we are thinking he is getting curious about this food thing. He tried to pull the lettuce off my fork the other night. Eric is really strong too, it is hard to pull something away from him when he has a grip on it.
