First of all, I can't believe we are 10 days away from this little guy being 2!!!!! Oh my goodness. The preparations have begun! I had no idea Pearce would be soooo into Toy Story, but he happened to watch it during Christmas at Mama and Papa's house, and man, he has not stopped talking about Buzz and Woody! Needless to say, he is now going to have a Toy Story party! More on that later. We have been very busy and I just wanted to put a few random pics up. These first two might just be my new favorites of Pearce. First of all, I think he looks ADORABLE in these little overalls Mama got him. Second of all, that balloon is STILL floating around our house...he got it last weekend from Old Navy when we went to get him new pants. He LOVES that balloon. Third of all, I just love it when he first wakes up and his eyes are a little puffy. This was his first day back to school and we were up early to get all ready! Pearce hardly ever stands still for me to actually take his picture, but on this morning, he cooperated and I just think he looks so dang cute!!!!!
Last week we went to The Toybrary for finger painting. I thought Pearce would love it, but he really didn't go crazy with it. He painted a bit, but then was finished, asked to wash his hands, and was off to play :) I think he would have liked it better with a paint brush. I think it's so cute how Pearce likes to sleep on his tummy with his knees all tucked under him...and BB in his mouth :) I was blessed with one great sleeper. I mean, this boy LOVES to sleep. Not only that, but he is so content to just BE in his crib. He will lay in there and play and talk for 30 minutes or more if I let him. Last night, he went to bed at 6:30 (The Golden Globes were on!) and I had to wake him up at 8:30. This past weekend, we were all lazy and Pearce ended up sleeping until 9:45ish!!! That is very rare, but he honestly does not wake up on his own until at least 8:00, but usually 8:30.....and still takes at least a 3 hour afternoon nap and sometimes 4 if I don't wake him up!
We had a fun play date with Claire and her mommy, Heather. Claire is sooo sweet and really lets me hold her now. Pearce had no problems playing babies with Claire, but really loved this sand table Heather brought out! The sand is a different type of sand where it actually sticks together and doesn't get everywhere like regular sand. Really cool! We've also had fun playing outside. I had to tell our lawn guy, Mr. Dennis, that we have a new lawn guy now :)
And finally.....Pearce loves to give all of us check ups and especially shots! We may have a future doctor in the making...he loves his medical kit, loves going to the doctor, and LOVES taking medicine! Pearce had a bad sinus infection a week ago and had to take a strong and bad tasting antibiotic. He's always been really good about taking any other medicine so I worried this was going to be a 10 day struggle....NOPE! Mama told me to just make sure I give him an M&M for taking the medicine each time...well, that was all it took! He did his antibiotic and nose spray each day like a champ!
