We met Rachel and her family and friends at the new South Depot Taco Shop in Oxford. This was our second time to go, and my pork tacos this time were messy, but way better than the chicken tacos I had previously. I recommend you check them out! Daniel has gotten the Korean and Asian tacos both time and really enjoyed them.
Since the other kids we were with needed naps after lunch, the Martins hit up Avent Park. Sullivan had a great time! Next time we'll come prepared for a longer stay! He really enjoyed playing music and running around the little buildings.
Sunday Daniel played in an early morning golf tournament, so Sullivan and I were lazy bums. I read most of the day and we both stayed in pjs. It was wonderful! Although I should probably have been working outside, it was nice to just chill.
Sullivan celebrated 17 months on Friday! Maybe he's turning over a new leaf because he ate pizza Friday night and a cheese quesadilla Saturday! Shocking that that impresses me? It's wonderful to be able to go out to eat without carrying something just for him to eat! He is very independent and wants to feed himself! The hitting and saying No has seemed to decrease over the last week, so maybe it's starting to sink in that that behavior doesn't fly around our house. Overall, he gets more affectionate each week! He gives wonderful hugs and slobbery kisses! He wants you to kiss his 'froggy' good night and good morning too! He shocked me this weekend by flipping through a photo album and saying a version of my niece Madeline's name! He then said my other niece Avery's name! I couldn't believe it! I guess those girls have really made an impression on him! Glad we all get to see each other this coming weekend! Sullivan's list of animals/animal sounds is growing to include ducks/quack and horses/neigh. He can recognize/attempt to repeat all the items on his quilt: boat, lighthouse, dog, baby, crab, horse, frog, etc. Loves to say shoes and to play with any shoes lying around. If he's not wearing our shoes then he's arranging them all ON the coffee table. He also enjoys removing my shoes from my feet and then putting them back on me! It never gets old! He's very fond of his privates and will grab hold, say 'peepee' and grin when we change his diaper. Boys learn early to be proud of that, don't they! Sullivan loves to wave and say "hey" to people in stores, restaurants, and even when we pass cars on the road. He'll say "truck" and then wave "hey" to just about everyone we pass on the way to daycare in the mornings. It's adorable! All in all, we still think he's the bee's knee's and just about the sweetest thing ever. We are so lucky!
