Daddy Daughter Date

On Monday, June 28, Zoe went to see her first movie in the movie theater!! She went to see Toy Story 3 in 3-D {glasses and all!} with her Daddy. She was so excited and was completely happy to be spending some time with her Daddy by herself.




They left around 6pm {a little late, but it was the only available showing} and went straight to the AMC theatre in White Marsh. Zoe was awesome and Ian was relieved that they didn't have any major issues. She loved the "flippy" seats and only ran down the row once! After the movie, Ian took her to McDonalds for a dinner date and then to the book store where she picked out a Toy Story 3 "find-it" book. A sort of Where's Waldo type book with a TS3 theme.

When they got home {around 10:00} Zoe could not stop talking about the movie, the seats, McDonalds, her new book... She went to bed with a big smile on her face.

I am so happy that Zoe has such a wonderful relationship with Ian. Especially since having Milo, I have been worried that she isn't getting the attention she wants or needs. Ian is always there to listen to her, to talk with her and be a great Daddy {even if its just letting her spend an extra half hour in the tub!} I am really trying to divide my time, but sometimes it's a challenge. I cant imagine how it works when you have more than 2!

Weekend Roundup

We spent most of the weekend doing our best to allow Ian to rest from his surgery. {for those out of the loop- Ian had surgery to place a stent in his "pipes" to help relieve kidney pressure d/t kidney stones} He is recovering nicely.

On Friday, we took the kids to their respective 3yr and 9month well-child visits. They are both in the 50%ile for height and weight {Zoe is 34lbs and Milo is 21lbs} and the pediatrician was really impressed with Zoe's language and potty training progress. She was also happy with Milo's food repertoire. So happy!

On Saturday, my sick sweet Ian was nice enough to keep the kids while I went to Pile of Craft with Alison. It was super duper hot, but we had a lot of fun! There was even a free photo booth!

We spent the rest of Saturday relaxing and watching the USA lose their World Cup match {bummer}.

Ian went to work on Sunday {What a trooper!} and I took the kids to my sister's house to visit with their new addition. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Pella Pupkiss Conroy:




She is really really adorable and so sweet. Congrats to Ray and Nick!!

Have a great week everyone!

Bday Celebration!
