After some weird weather here over the past 2 weeks (3 scorching 100 degree days, followed by several 70 degree days with downpours of rain, where I almost wanted to turn on the furnace) it has finally returned to a normal summer weather pattern - 80 degrees and partly cloudy. Ben I took advantage of the mild temps and went for a stroller ride to a nearby coffee/ sandwich shop. I am so excited - about 4 blocks away, this new little cafe-type shop just opened - with BAGELS! We stroller-ed up there and I picked up a bagel sandwich and a giant cookie. There was a bunch of yuppie wine-touring-young-grandma types there, who all loved Ben's little basketball outfit and comments of "How cute!" and "Adorable" were flying around. I haven't had Ben out and about too much this summer, but how fun to get reactions like that!
He's been doing little mini-stomach crunches in his bouncy chair to try to either sit-up or reach the spiders that hang from the chair - He's getting so strong! Below is a mini-stomach crunch, where he's trying to lift his little head up, usually accompanied by laughter!
Also, we had Ben in for trial run - Day#2 at daycare on Thursday, while Andy worked from home, so he could go with me to drop Ben off and meet our daycare provider. Ben was gone from 9-3. Andy and I went out to lunch together. It was the first time we had eaten out in 3 months. Of course, all we talked about was Ben, but it was still nice to get out, just the 2 of us.
