Weekend in KC

We decided to stay in town this weekend and made the most of our time here with friends. Friday our child care was closed so Ryan and I had a good day going to Target, Chick Fil-A and swimming at Matt Ross Center. The last time we went to the pool over Christmas he could stand but not walk so it was fun to see him traipse through the water and move about this time. It was also his first outing to eat fast food and play in a "play place." He didn't think anything special of the chicken nuggets but loved crawling up and down the jungle gym at the play area. He's always been a climber so we've taught him how to get down off things on his tummy and he does it correctly almost everytime now. It's amazing to watch him just scoot right off our bed, land on his feet and take off, given that the bed is as tall as he is. That night we joined the Jacksons and Mudd sisters at Tanner's to watch KU clinch the Big 12 championship. They were very accommodating to the fact we brought a baby to a bar, and we're glad we got to hang out with them and see a great game.

Saturday, we went to the Brookside St. Patty's Day Warm-up Parade. Ryan didn't seem to notice there was a parade going on but Todd and I enjoyed ourselves and saw several friends there. Afterwards, our friends (and neighbors) the Marcanos, who have a 3 month-old, came over and we had a nice, lazy evening just hanging out.

Not worry, they didn't see anything in appropriate to get those beads.

Since we're not home too often on the weekends, Sunday was our day to clean the house, get the porch cleaned up to use again and run errands. Nothing exciting, but necessary none-the-less.

Monday we had dinner over at the Cromwells and Callie got to join us. Their kids are 4 and 6 and were eager to give Callie and Ryan lots of attention. They're expecting a baby sibling (who they've lovingly named Baby Woo Woo) in September so they were especially helpful with Baby Ryan and he had a ball trying to keep up with them. Ryan has also become an even bigger fan of Callie these days and will pet her if you ask him to. He'll of course then dive on her and stick his little pointers in her eyes, but it starts out sweet and cute.

Thank goodness for Isaac who kept a helpful eye on Ryan
as he tried to get into everything at their house and
put anything within reach into his mouth.
