Wow this has been a very busy week since I last posted! Well Thursday we headed up to Hattiesburg to hang out, visit with family, and to attend Colby's cousin Maggie's birthday party! So Thursday we got there around lunchtime. We were able to drop Allie off at Austin's parents house and visit for a few minutes with Austin's dad. Afterwards we ran a couple errands and quickly got Colby to the apartment before he turned into a grumpy, tired little boy! After his nap we went back to Austin's parent's house and ate dinner with them. At their house Colby discovered a new toy! Shelbi and Maggie had a toy shopping cart over there that they used to play with. Well Colby found this to be quite fun! He pushed it all around their house and was practically running behind it! It was so cute we decided that he needed one of his own! Daddy went out the next day to Target and found one similiar but actually cuter b/c it came with food and everything to put in the cart! So now if you tell Colby to go grocery shopping he goes to his cart and starts pushing it around!
Well back to our trip...Friday we woke up and headed out to the mall. We both love the mall there its much different then our lovely local mall Oakwood. I tried to find a swimsuit for our cruise but was not successful! Hopefully I can find one online! Anyway after shopping for a little while we took Colby to Chuck E. Cheese for his first time! I wasn't sure what he would think...I thought he would like it but also didn't know if it would overwhelm him! We knew he liked those little kiddy rides b/c he had ridden one once in the mall before. Well we got him on the cars first thing and he LOVED it! He had so much fun he wasn't scared at all! We also ate some pizza and salad and played a little ourselves. It was fun remembering what we used to have ShowBiz I miss that place but we talked about how much bigger it seemed when we were kids! Anyway glad Colby enjoyed his first visit there. I'm sure it was the first of many to come! Afterwards we took him back for his nap then went out to eat with his parents that night! An overall fun day!
Saturday morning Austin and his dad went to play golf so it was just Colby and I. We hung out at the apartment and ran to Hobby Lobby. I love that store! I could have bought so much there! I got a few fall decorations for our house. We usually put out some stuff but I want to be more festive this year since Colby is getting old enough to recognize things and enjoy holidays! That afternoon was Maggie's birthday party! It was at Austin's sister's house..they live WAYY out in the country. We realized yet again out "city" we are compared to how "country" a lot of their family is. We had fun though. The big kids played on a water slide thing. Colby didn't get that experience we figured he was just a tad too little. But he enjoyed playing inside with Shelbi and Maggie's toys.
In closing I think Colby may be close to walking. He's also doing so much talking these days. But lately I'm not sure due to the excitement of the trip or because he might soon start to walk he loves to talk and squeal in his crib for like an hour after you put him down. It doesn't really bother me b/c he isn't upset he is just basically throwing a 1 man party in his bed! Welcome to toddlerhood. Its a bumpy ride at times but worth every minute to see him soaking up the world and learning new things every day!
