Excellent Weekend

It really was. I got to see some friends and their babies on Saturday, which was so enjoyable, and Turtle had the best time ever. It was so cute to see him with his new little girlfriends - completely melted my heart.





He can also push up on his little forearms so well now (yoga did not agree with his mommy, but it sure seems to be working for him)





And look at how he can sit up, with a little help!



Then we had a few drinks with some friends and DH got me a spinach calzone and some gorgeous roses (pics tomorrow, I promise). Just because :). He also brought me nilla wafers so I can try to make some banana pudding cupcakes - I would say he's thoughtful, but he's just trying to spur me along because HE wants banana pudding cupcakes. Silly boy.

DH was amazing this weekend. With his lack of patience, he was really having a hard time feeding Turtle - the cereal is a long, messy process, and Turtle did his best to make it as difficult as possible for DH. I actually had to leave the room at some points just so that Turtle would accept the fact that the only way he was getting that spoon was if his daddy stuck it in his mouth. I thought DH had given up completely, but this weekend, every time I started feeding Turtle, he stepped right in and handled it. He took his time, used every ounce of patience, and they are both doing so well.



I'm also going to do a small vent again. I must really be in a bad mood. :) The thing is, I'm getting really frustrated with people who just don't appreciate what they have. It aggravates me to no end. I am going to take this moment to mention the things for which I am thankful. My life isn't perfect and I'm not puppies and rainbows all the time (not even close), but I am lucky that I have the ability to look at my life and appreciate it.
* my loving DH
* my perfect son
* a wonderful mother
* my ridiculous yet precious pugs
* amazing friends
* a roof over our heads in a beautiful city
* good health all around
* financial security

The rest of the BS really doesn't matter much. I wish more people could see that.

And, thanks to N, I have some books again. Today I finished "Bringing Down the House," the story of the MIT card-counting team. We had just seen 21 the other day, so it was cool to read the book, even if it was totally different. I enjoyed it. There were things about the movie that were far more exciting, but I find the whole story absolutely fascinating. I was reading it out loud to Turtle with his morning bottle and he seemed to enjoy it, too!
