We were all out of bananas, so he got to have an orange for breakfast. Eating an orange with a fork is kinda difficult, but he made it work ... that's what that other hand is for, right?
Time to put on the shoes! (Like the total mish-mash outfit? Yeah, he outgrew four pairs of pants yesterday and was a little short on clean laundry, so stripes, camo, and trucks it is!)
We got to the Gardens, and though he freaked out when we first got into the conservatory because of the extreme heat and humidity, he soon fell back in love with it and enjoyed seeing the butterflies.
I know, I know, he's not supposed to touch the plants. But he just touched it ... and this was the only one. I swear!
For some reason he didn't want to get down and walk on his own much ... of course, we required that he hold hands with one of us, so that might have had something to do with it.
After we finished up with the butterflies and visited the turtles, we headed home for play time and some lunch. He decided that his peg board was a little too big, so a good sawing was in order.
After lunch, we put him down for a nap, but he decided he wasn't going to sleep. I have no idea why. So after an hour and a half of hearing him play in his crib, happy as can be, we scooped him up and took him to the mall. Stride Rite is having a buy one pair get the second pair 50% off sale, so we got him a couple new pairs of shoes. Size 7 wide ... can you believe it?! He wasn't too thrilled about getting his foot measured, but we dangled an animal cracker in front of him and he was golden. I hate to bribe him, but he was just scared and needed to get over that first hurdle. After that he was fine.
Then we walked the mall and ducked into Younkers to see if we could find some new work pants for my husband. While we were cruising the men's section, Baylor kept saying, "X, X, X". I couldn't figure out why. Then I looked a little closer ...
All of the tables had x's on the ends! What a funny little guy!
Bryson went into the dressing room to try on the selection of pants he had found, and Baylor and I hung outside and waited for the fashion show.
After the purchase, we hopped in the car and drove to Red Robin for a little dinner. Baylor got kinda tired by the end of the meal, though.
Those stinkin' eye teeth! If only they'd come in.
And, tired again.
And smiley! I know I am totally biased, but he has the most adorable smile ... it just lights up the room!
He, of course, fell asleep on the way home, and stayed asleep on Bryson's chest for about a half an hour once we got back.
Once he got up, though, he was ready to go! He really wanted to steal some of my Fiber One bar, but I kinda doubt he'd have liked it.
Then he was all over his blocks ... but he eventually helped me clean them up! Yay! Big step for the little man!
We had a good last full day of the Perfect Storm.
