Minature friends

We had the pleasure of hosting playgroup at our house this week. The babies had a great time while the moms got to hang out and eat cookies.

Here is Paul playing by himself before playgroup (not so fun).

Here are pictures from playgroup today. Paul loves to play with other babies and flirt with the other moms (just so you are not confused I am talking about Baby Paul, not my husband Paul). He was smiling and showing off for the first 30 minutes of playgroup. Nathan Pulsipher and Sophie Cullimore were also in attendance but were not present for the picture.

A not so friendly dragon

Last night was our ward's Trunk-or-Treat. Paul was dressed as a green dragon but hated being in his costume. He screamed every time I tried to close his jacket or put on his hood. I guess he didn't like having the costume so close to his face. It also didn't help that he was so tired. He didn't like being costume but I think he enjoyed seeing his little buddies in costume. I have to admit that Halloween is a lot more exciting when you have little people to dress up. However, next year I don't think I will get a costume that is so poofy.

Yummy Slippery Shrimp

Last night we went to Yang Chow's in Chinatown with the Covingtons for the best Chinese food. Yang Chow is well known for their slippery shrimp. It is to die for. I was craving it all day and when I crave something I can't stop thinking about it until I have it. Paul knows what I am talking about. On Thursday I couldn't stop thinking about cookies-n-cream ice cream until I fulfilled my craving later that night at a girl's night out. For those of you that are wondering, I am not pregnant.

Here are some pictures from the night.

It's about time

Baby Paul is almost 7 months old now. He is crawling around the house (army style), sitting up, pulling himself up in a standing position and eating solid foods. Since the day he was born, I have been wanting to start a blog to share some of these milestones with you but I just never got around to it. I have been talking about doing it for so long now I'm pretty sure almost all of you at this point have given up on me. Let's face it, I'm all talk. I decided that today was going to be the day that I stopped the procrastination.

To get you all up to speed on the growth and development of our baby boy, I have graciously provided a picture timeline.
