Sunday was a pretty busy day for Chase and I. While Daddy did work on the house and studied, Chase and I went to brunch with new friends and later in the day met a brand new little "peanut".
In the morning we of course had to introduce Kelli, Donovan, and Olivia to Clementine for breakfast, and I wanted to let Chase try grits for the first time. Not surprisingly he gobbled them right up. Hmmm, you think it had something to do with the fact that I ate them a lot while I was pregnant? I'm thrilled that he continues to try new things and doesn't seem to be a picky eater-yet. We had a great time at the restaurant, and Olivia loved reading to "Chasey". Kelli prepped me that having a 5 and 7 yr. old out to eat could sometimes be a challenge, but the kids were awesome. It doesn't hurt that the restaurant has a kids' section, and that the owner's son was there to play superheroes.
Since I'm not around typically developing kids that often I'm always amazed at what comes out of their mouths sometimes. I spent most of the day entertained by the brutal honesty and banter from the two of them, and we had a classic "out of the mouths of babes" experience as we were walking back to the house. As many of you know we live in an older area in Baltimore, and they've been working on doing a revitalization around our neighborhood. WooHoo- two new places are opening this Spring! Sorry I digress...anyway as we were walking home the kids spotted etched into concrete the statement "Jesus died for us" The next comment out of their mouths(I'm not lying) was something to the effect of "He died right here on Harford Rd.? Is this where he is buried?" After a joint laughing fit, Kelli turns to me and says "See what you have to look forward to?" She managed to explain to the kids that "No, Jesus wasn't buried on a street in Baltimore".
Needless to say I laughed a lot that morning:) I unfortunately didn't have my camera with me so this picture didn't turn out great, but Olivia is the cutest thing and wanted to help out with Chase in any way possible. She even tried to carry my heavy diaper bag(I still overpack) when we were leaving the restaurant.
Continuing our day out, Chase and I next visited with our "brand new" friend Riley. She was finally giving her mommy and daddy a few moments of peace during our visit, so we just hung out while she slept. Chase showed of his pseudo crawling skills, and scooted himself in circles and backwards to wedge his legs under their couch while I shared some new mommy stories with Kelly. He is actually starting to move all of his limbs independently of one another instead of both legs and arms at the same time, so we know he'll be getting into things very shortly! It is kind of nice to take advantage of being able to put him down since at the moment he doesn't get very far:)
Riley woke up toward the end of our visit, and I felt terrible that Chase and I had probably stolen a perfect nap opportunity from her mommy:( Thanks for letting us visit, I promise Hamilton burgers soon!
Finally Chase looks like a giant next to someone!
