I am Back!

So I have been offline pretty much since my last post because I was reading Harry Potter! I didn't want to accidentally read something online about the book so I stayed away from the internet and radio! I am finished and all I will say was it was a fitting finish!

I never finished our Weekend Adventures with the Mailloux's. David and Maddie got along great and played together. David was a little rough and tumble but Maddie fought right back - it was really cute!

While the Doc had to work on Saturday Ben, Robyn and I took a trip out to the Lancaster Outlets about an hour and a half away). We did some shopping and had lunch with Robyn's Aunt and Uncle. We have been trying to get David to use a sippy cup. I think watching Maddie do "Big Girl" stuff motivated David because all of a sudden he wanted his sippy cup!

Mmmm...yummy lemonade!

After we got back we drove out to University City and had dinner at one of our favorite places Sitar India. They have a really good buffet and all you can eat vegetable somosas! We gave David some more chicken and he really enjoyed it. We also found out that he loves blueberry's. Maddie was so nice to share her with David. We also learned that we should taste the food before we give David a try after he spit out a chick pea that was in a sauce labeled HOT!!

On Sunday we decided to head out to Baltimore and take the kids to the National Aquarium. It was a lot of fun. We stopped on the way to eat some breakfast at the Waffle House. I had never been to one but heard they were pretty good. David loved the Doc's chocolate chip waffle.

When we got to the Aquarium we had to check the stroller's and in exchange they provided us with a back pack type carrier for David. He didn't really like it at first having never been in one but then he got used to it and had a good time banging on Daddy's head!

David and Maddie check out the fish

Looking over Daddy's shoulder

More Fish!

Shhhh!

After the Aquarium we walked over to the ESPN Zone for dinner. It was pretty good food and of course it was nice to see the end of the Red Sox game. After dinner Maddie practiced being a big sister by pushing David in his stroller.

David's in LOVE!

So Maddie, Ben and Robyn are here visiting and arrived Friday night. David was really excited to see her. Check out his bold move as he pummels Maddie and tries to give her a love bite!


Hey wait! Come back here!

At the Diner

Today we ventured out to one of our favorite places to get a milk shake - Nifty Fifty's. They also have really great burgers and fries. It's a great place to take the kid because it's loud and music is playing and there are lots of other families there.

Check out David in his Nifty Fifty hat:


Now that David eats regular food we can order off the menu for him. We ordered him a hot dog on a toasted bun. This kid is not picky and he'll eat anything out in front of him!


This is just David being David. He's so silly 95% of the time. He is constantly cracking us up!

Chicken Curry...Mmm Yummy!

Tonight for dinner we ordered Indian take out. There is a pretty good place we like to eat at called Sitar India in University City. We order the same thing every time. Two orders of Vegetable Samosas, two orders of Garlic Naan, a Shrimp Curry and a Chicken Curry and depending on our mood we'll order mild or medium. Their medium is really spicy so lately we've just stuck with the mild.

Rather than cook something separate for David we decided to let him try some of the Doc's chicken. He didn't seem to mind the flavor because he ate every last piece. He especially liked the Naan.

11 Months!

Today David is 11 months old and that means that one month from today he'll be one! That is just crazy! Anyway enjoy some of his latest pictures:

Here is David enjoying a tubby!


Here is David enjoying a nice chunk of Italian Bread with his Pasta E Fagioli.

Trouble is His Middle Name:

David's latest milestone is being a trouble maker. This kid just gets into everything. He can now climb a few stairs, go into the trash, grab the cat's tails (they REALLY don't like him much) and his latest trick relates to the dishwasher. This is his "but Mom, I wanna help you" face:



Yup that is David climbing onto the dishwasher. He found his prize - a Gladware container.

Happy 4th of July!

Today it was just me and the kid so we just hung out at home. Just to be festive I put him in his Lil Firecracker onesie that I got for him at Old Navy. I made a cake for fun and of course David loved it. Hope your fourth was a little more eventful than ours!
