Looking back at the past two weekends we had visitors and traveled to a wedding. Pete and Julie came for a visit and we toured around Baltimore. Saturday was spent dining on fabulous burgers at Ray's Hell Burger. Julie and I went shopping at the Pentagon City Mall while the guys went bowling and then for some twilight golfing. Julie had special ordered some delectable ice creams from Jeni's and we sampled the Honey Vanilla Bean (those of you who know me really well know I always pick chocolate over any others but this Vanilla was AMAZING!!!!!! 5 out of 5 stars), Bourbon Buttered Pecan (this smooth rich flavor was very yummy), Queen City Cayenne (a very spicy flavor that had a strong cinnamon taste that dissipated on your tongue-intriguing), and finally the Belgium Milk Chocolate (Another fact about my chocolate obsession is that I LOVE Dark over Milk, but this is one exception-the flavor was so rich it reminded me of a dark with the lightness of a milk chocolate.) We all agreed that each flavor truly was splendid and we would get it again. It was fantastic having them visit, and again another case of wishing these guests could stay longer.
As for Colin week 9 consisted of more nights of long periods of sleep ranging from 5-7 hours at a time. He began grabbing at things and kicking his legs. It has seemed since day one that this kid is mentally ready to move, he is just waiting for his body to catch up.
Last weekend we journeyed to Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Northern PA. The resort was fabulous. The wedding ceremony of Steph and Mark Williams was so lovely. Afterwards we partied hard at the reception. The meal was delicious, the drinks were flowing, the cookie buffet was great, and both the white and chocolate cake were yummy! Colin spent the reception snoozing in Teri's arms and then in his stroller. On the drive home we took a side trip to Bube's Brewery and enjoyed sampling the brew and took home a growler of the Speak Easy Pale Ale.
Week 10 we have seen a lot more awake time paired with more smiling and cooing/babbling. He has been sleeping a lot more so he is growing quickly through his sizes. We are now moving onto the 3-6month clothing. I hope we get a plateau soon! His weight was in the 75th% at 2 months so who knows what he is at right now. Colin also came with us to the Kickball Practice last Thursday, he had a blast! Keep looking for more photos!
This Friday we leave for Myrtle Beach with Gramma and Granpa Meyer! It will be a week of beach relaxation! I am looking forward to some Amanda time, not that I don't love being Colin's mom-but I need a little break. Dad(Eric) will get some much needed bonding time with his little boy! More pics to come, please visit the Picasa album (specifically Colin 2 months, Williams' Wedding, and Kickball 2010) and you can see some new photos of the little guy! Love-Amanda P.S. I am slowly getting over the hair drama!
The last video is how loud it was at the reception that Colin slept through.
