Date With Adam

Last week, I knew Adam needed some one on one time with me. He actually needs it more than Abbey usually does. Guess it's first child syndrome. He gets very aggressive and ornery looking for attention. Funny for a kid who wanted to be left alone until she was born!

I took Abbey to my mom's and drove Adam to Target. The funny thing is that he cried on and off the whole way sniffling "Ab-bay Come". I almost turned back, but I think he does need to learn a little independence from both of us! We got there and he was miserable...I think he was hungry. So I took him to the little food cafe. While we were waiting for food he found a high chair and pushed it to the table, so excited. But then I let him sit in the big boy chair. He was in his glory, twisting back and forth. Drinking his milk from the bottle with the straw was also very exciting for him! And for once he was smiling for my photo...he looks a little goofy didn't quite capture the real smile...but I'll take it... We sat there for like a half hour while he ate 4 nuggets, but he was so happy. My instincts were right...he needed some one-on-one. And he was happy while I shopped, too. Love that kid...love my moments of just me and him time. With Abbey, too, of course. But it was just me and him doing everything together the first 16 months :)
