A Cowboy Needs a Horse

My parents came up this weekend and Logan and Grandpa went to Cincinnati for a Bengals game against the Jets. The Bengals won and my dad got to experience Logan’s Ohio relatives including the infamous “Pappy van”. They had a good time.

My mom stayed with Elliot on Friday while I was at work. Tom got off early and the three of them went to Walmart to shop and entertain Elliot. Elliot has been highly entertained recently by his Fisherprice Jumperoo horse.

When I got home from work we went to Naples to eat. Elliot sat in his Bumbo on the table and ate rice cereal, which was highly entertaining to the rest of the restaurant. Then he tried and tried to get Tom’s Spaghetti Carbonara.

That night, Elliot and I slept by ourselves for the first time without daddy. I put pillows all around the edges of the bed and we slept together like a momma and baby bird snuggled in a nest.

The next day we got up and went to Tom’s winery for a tour. A lady working the wine bar tried to wow me with her son’s baby stats, but he was only 8 pounds something. Elliot and I were not impressed.

After that we went shopping at the Tanger Outlet’s. Mom remembered she wanted to get Logan a birthday gift and I found more that enough stuff for him at “The Kitchen Collection” and “Le Gourmet Chef.” We also got Elliot some clothes. We wanted to find him a onesie that said “My Uncle is Attractive and Single” since Tom was carrying him around in the Bjorn, but no such luck.

Logan and Grandpa came home in time for lunch. Logan opened his various gifts, which he enjoyed.

Mommy, daddy, and baby took a family nap that after noon. My parents left that evening after dinner at Nixon’s Deli. Logan, Elliot, and I went to the mall briefly to look around and then went home and went to bed.

Today we had a visit from the Collier’s. Victoria was moving into her new apartment for school. So she, her mom and dad, and Mathew stopped by to see the house and Elliot. Elliot was asleep but he happily woke up for company. He showed off his horse and some baby tricks for them. Afterwards, Logan, Elliot, and I went out shopping again. Elliot slept most of the time but awoke by the time we got to walmart for our groceries. He hit the hay pretty early tonight too. I guess we are all pretty tired.
