Baby with Cow

Such a busy weekend we had! Friday night, we had a birthday party to go to at Hudson's on the Bend. I have never been even though its so close to our house! Its a nicer restaurant so I was a little (a lot) nervous about bringing Harrison. He is always so good at restaurants but I get nervous every time. The dinner was outside and it was beautiful weather. But Harrison wanted to run around most of the time so we took turns chasing him. He was being shy for most of the night but when Ryan (the birthday boy - well, man - he is 30!) asked him if he wanted to go look at leaves, he went right to him! Wasn't shy at all! So I ran back to the table and finished by steak and it was very very good! They came back and Harrison was proudly carrying a branch with leaves on it. We will have to go back there soon.

I left Saturday before lunch to go to Dallas. I am a bridesmaid in a friends wedding and the bachelorette party was Saturday. I have been nervous about this a long time! Not sure how I was going to do, not sure how he was going to do! Our strategy was to have Meemee and Pop Pop spend some time with him. He is always so happy with them and they also wear him out! Also, Adam explained to him that Mommy had to go somewhere but would be back tomorrow and he was totally cool with it! When I woke him up from his morning nap on Sunday when I got home, I was expected a big hug! But he just demanded his cup. Oh well! Its good to know he can survive without his mama every now and then.

It was such a perfect day on Sunday. We took him to the playground and he had a blast playing with a 4 year old. Then we took him to a pumpkin patch and he picked out his pumpkin. He is kind of obsessed with pumpkins right now. He can say "pumpkin" too which makes it all the more adorable. I stopped writing down his words for several days because I couldn't keep up. Now I am trying to catch up. We are close to 300. Whew! I am hearing more 3 and 4 word sentences and phrases. And he is really starting to put things together. He looked at his box of wet wipes yesterday and said "Wipe....Poop....Pee!". And he looked at his picture of him on the Longhorn and said "Baby with Cow". Already counting down the days to Disneyworld! Of course he isn't excited but mommy and daddy are!!!
