More Firsts
We had a great weekend here in Kagledom. Saturday, after swimming, we took the boys into San Francisco for some quality time away from us (they saw boats, we went for a walk) and quality time with us (we all had dinner with the Feefadders on a lovely evening while overlooking the bay).
Much to our chagrin, neither boy passed out on the way home. Of course, staying up an extra couple of hours didn't cause them to sleep in. No, by 6:30 am we were all playing together in Simon's room when Adlai spotted Harry Otter, Simon's favorite stuffed animal, on the floor. Adlai has been somewhat obsessed with Harry Otter since the moment Harry entered Simon's life which has been a point of much sibling contention. This morning Adlai was so happy to find Harry on the floor that he scooped him up and yelled "Look what I got!" This marks Adlai's first full sentence.
(We actually bought Adlai a duplicate otter as a gift for Valentine's Day.)
Later in the day we decided it was high time Adlai had his first pair of real shoes. Luckily, we've kept all of Simon's shoes since the beginning of time (at least the ones that were not worn out). Simon got his first shoes at 10 months (since he started to walk at 9.5 months). Adlai, at 13 months, still can't quite fill Simon's shoes but he seems comfortable in them and is VERY happy to be wearing them like a big boy. He even looks like a big boy.
Those were taken at the Stanford Shopping Center where we took the boys this afternoon - to run around the fountains and see the flowers. No shopping!
