teething/distractions/weekends/whales

i love our weekends. just long periods of family-lovey-dovey time! ambrose is getting two molars in and it is CrAzY!!! around here because of those chunks of pain. we managed to get him out this weekend though to distract him from the trauma. we went to the windward mall-awesome-sent from heaven above playground, enjoyed the new ben & jerrys there, then went to the kaneohe district park and ran around (he now prefers the two legged approach to getting around), and then home to grandmas for a sleep over so me and thomas could get out, have a date and go to thomas' show. ah, good looking that drummer. even with the mega-teethatron it was a fun weekend. oh yeah, and the cranky picture is to illustrate the level of sass we are dealing with and the cuteness of his whale tie i found at the children's place. (click to enlarge the cranky face, it's awesome)

Oh my goodness he looks so grown up! He's a little boy! He walks! How wonderful and adorable and amazing. I love the tie and especially the shorts. That is so classic. What lucky parents you are.

Your highly expressive little boy warms my heart... so did the post where you posted your labor/post labor photos. Amazing.

It's a pity the teething process is so long. Eliza has a new molar coming in right now too. Boo.

Poor baby! I really feel for the little guy, growing teeth must hurt so bad!How nice that you got a date and you can leave ambie with G-ma. Oh, I watched the office. Painful. And I think that dance scene was the best/worst of it.

what a cutie! teething is not fun. Ben and Jerry's are open already?
Do you happen to have the number for that gym?

melissa said...

do you want someone to make curtains for amby's window? what are the window's dimensions? (unless of course i'm mislabeling the thing behind the sheet in adorable photo #1.)

Stephanie said...

as if you didnt have enough to do right now bride to be!! :) yes, he does need curtains, but i have just been dragging my feet- hence the sheet. if he still doesnt have any a month after you are mrs. peterson then i shall solicit your services you good friend you. <3

Did the Windward Mall always have a play-place or is it new? I spent nearly every afternoon there with Emily (my "skills trainee") and I don't recall....

Natalie said...

Are you trying to kill me?!! All these cute pictures of the boy. Two months is too far away to see him again. I can't wait to try to and hold him while he is trying to get away. :-)

AJ said...

that picture is pretty amazing! I love love love his face and outfit.

Ambrose, I was teething at age 22 with my wisdom teeth. I feel your pain bro. Cry on, cry on.

Oh such a delightful post. I love this little man. I especially liked the picture of you kicking back with Ambrose. You are such the super model. By the way, my mom mentioned you guys live right around the corner from them. Watch out for crazy John Dawg running around in his lava lava chasing chickens.

Looks like you guys have your hands full, but man the tantram looks SOOO CUTE, at least the picture does, doubt I would like to be there for the real thing. How fun for you guys to have a date and check out a show again, its been a while right? So fun for you guys I'm sure. You'd better believe we are looking forward to you guys joining us in the Northwest. Hurry up already. j/k But it will sure be fun if it works out sometime. Trust me, it does seem to go by faster for you guys than it does for me (this last internship). j/k It hasn't been too bad, but I will admit, I AM NOT A DESERT PERSON! It is now getting up to the low 90's - and it is only mid-April. So glad we are leaving before the 120's. Its too hot already for me. Only 3 more days and then we are making a REALLY QUICK TRIP to DISNEYLAND!! So fun, we'll play Saturday and head home Sunday. Tayson is Stoked! Neither of the boys have been, but I think they will love it and they are just at the right height to go on a lot of the rides. K sorry this is so long. Love the pics of your weekend though. Tell Tom thanks for all the help with Brady and his camera questions, he is sure getting excited about getting one.

melissa said...

well, yeah, but there's this really cool fabric i've been wanting to use for something--anything--and i haven't been able to think of anything. it's black with neon 80s-esqu paint splatters (in blue, or green, or orange, but i like the blue)and it's awesome. so if you feel like dragging your feet on purpose, tell me the dimensions of the window. love.
