Our Weekend

Just another weekend recap.

We battled the start of Xavier's 5th ear infection since we started counting in April.  Xavier was fussier than usual, especially around nap time.  Lying down was the most painful position.  He refuses to take a bottle unless he is on the verge of starving, but does eat a little bit of table food.  We also saw a few upper teeth fighting their way through.  Oh, and while all this was going on, he learned how to pull himself up.

Xavier was fussy with the ear pain on Saturday morning.  He responds well to going outside, it's sort of like a calming effect, so I took him on a walk to the park to swing for a bit.

We came home and swung on his new swing that we mounted to the front yard tree.  He likes to go high and fast!

Wind-blown hair.  haha!

That afternoon, we grabbed dinner at a burrito shop, because even though we have eaten burritos a lot lately and are having them tonight, I could eat Mexican food every single day.  After we put X to bed, I got a chance to work on some birthday decorations.  Only 4 more days to go!  I am still trying to reach my goal of making everything for this party.  Check back in with me in a couple days.

On Sunday, we made muffins and eggs for breakfast, then headed to the State fair.  Xavier gave us his best fair appropriate pose, as you can see.

While there, Xavier made a friend.  This little girl played with Xavier for 20 minutes, just enough time for Steve and me to enjoy our lunch in peace.

He totally wants to grab those glasses.  It's written all over his face.

We saw the revered butter cow in all its glory, came within 2 feet of a 1,000 pound pumpkin, and I got to eat a giant hot-dog on a stick.  All in all, it was a successful fair trip.

On a side note, I don't know what it is about toddlers and Puffs, but when I pull out the bright yellow container from the diaper bag, Xavier sees it and goes nuts.  He flaps his arms and breathes heavily, like he just finished running.  There's nothing even in these things!  It's literally, just air!  He grabbed the container out of Steve's hand and ripped off the lid himself.  Nothing stands in his way of Puffs.

Happy early hump day.  The week is almost half over!
