Today wasn't bad. We got up and had breakfast and Wendy and Ashley came over for a quick visit before Gus and I headed to The Little Gym for our last class. I had to drop off the DVD player that I borrowed at Amie's shower... so I left a little early to drop it off to Laura.

Gus's last class was fun. He had a great time on the jumpy and we were treated to a wonderful class with Oliver and Melanie (they usually go to the Thursday class, but came today as a make-up class). Oliver is such a cutie and Gus had fun with him today. 

At the end of class, we said our goodbyes and then Kelly had something for me in her car. Her brother in law makes these wooden snowmen, and she got us three... each has our name on it and the "Steve" snowman is the tallest, then there's a "Cathy" and a baby "Gus." It's perfect for our front steps at the new house!!! :-)

Here are the pictures from TLG:

 

Gus was able to jump on his own on the jumpy!

 

The Skill of the Week was to touch their toes to the scarves... Gus decided to just do a flip

 

Waiting patiently for his stamps...

I stopped at Taco Bell for lunch and then came home and we had lunch. Then it was time for Gus's nap, and while he napped I played on the computer and started cleaning out my bottom portion of the bathroom sink. 

Then Gus got up and we played in his playroom for about an hour or so before coming back downstairs for the night. 

After dinner, I put Gus to bed and then I went online to Craig's List and searched for the Step 2 Roller Coaster. Gus LOVED the one he rode on at the new house (the current owners have one). I found a posting for the Roller Coaster X-Treme (regularly $240 and posted for $80)! I jumped right on it and the lady said it was mine... but then said I needed a truck to come get it (she's in North Raleigh). When I told her that I have a Ford Edge, she said even with taking it apart, it wouldn't fit. BOO! So instead I'm going to keep looking for the roller coaster and hope I can find one. If not, I'll just get him a new one for his birthday (not until May). I've got plenty to time to keep my eyes peeled for one. New ones are $100... so it's a matter of finding one cheaper.

Anyway, tomorrow we're going to meet Carrie Wilkerson (MOMS Club friend) for lunch and then we're coming home. Thursday and Friday we have playdates. It should make the rest of the week go by and then Steve will finally be here!! Next week is going to be CRAZY!!!

Here are pictures from a year ago:

Day 326

I'm not sure what the heck the problem is with my computer, but it just took 45 minutes to upload my pictures on here for me to blog. I'm so annoyed.

This morning we got up and had breakfast. Gus had already had a light breakfast with Steve (apple sauce, crackers, cheese), so when I had my cereal (Life), he wanted some too. I made him a little bowl with VERY little milk, but he was delighted. He kept making his "ummmmmmmm" noise that he makes to show appreciation for something delicious. It was so cute. He was watching everything that I was doing, and mimicking it. He was even watching me through his bowl...

 

Now that he's mastered the spoon... the world of eating opportunities has opened so much for Gus!

 

Silly boy

 

Watching me through his bowl  :-)

We had Little Gym today, so I got Gus dressed and packed up for class. Today was a good class. The focus for this week and next is colors. Next week is our last class and it's also "Bring A Friend Week" so we're going to invite Grace. :-)

They brought out the parachute and it kinda freaked Gus out a bit (he also ran into another child and was crying in the middle... poor little man.

 

Fun under the parachute

 

Totally done with the parachute and ready to play elsewhere

 

Gus spent a LOT of time in the GIANT tunnel today!

 

Skill of the Week with Miss Ally: Pull up on the high-bar... Gus did a GREAT job!!!

 

 

He did a great job hanging from the bars today!

We went to Wal-Mart for some groceries after Little Gym, then got home and had lunch and put Gus down for a nap. I decided to take a nap as well... it felt wonderful.

I got up and headed downstairs. We didn't do much else this afternoon... Steve made dinner (pork chops, baby potatoes, and carrots) and it was delicious! 

Tomorrow we're going to get Gus's flu shot... and then Steve's got lunch plans with a former Burt's co-worker and then I've got my nail appointment.

I started defrosting my turkey and tomorrow I'll start the 24-36 hour brining process. It's going to be delicious!!

See you tomorrow!

Here are some picture of Mr. Gustafer from a year ago...

 

Totally trying to crawl!

 

He was scootchin' but not yet crawling
