Early Sunday morning we told Lily we were going to the Stock Show to see animals. She was very excited and wanted to leave immediately. Since it was 7AM we told her the animals were still sleeping so we had to wait a while. The entire time we were getting ready, if we talked to loud, she would shush us and say "Elmo's still sleeping, be quiet."

Before the Stock Show we ventured out to breakfast with both kids. It was the first restaurant experience with both kids without extra people around to help (i.e. grandparents). We had a wonderful time and the kids behaved very well. Harrison fell asleep in my arms after his oatmeal breakfast and Lily colored while waiting for her food. Granted we know not to hang around...we order immediately, entertain, eat and leave. Thankfully we eat at restaurants that are as fast as we are.

Harrison, being the big boy he is, has outgrown his infant car carrier. He might have fit in it another few weeks but the straps were getting very snug and lugging 17pounds of baby plus weight of car seat isn't easy. It's not much easier lugging 17 pound baby around without an instant seat (eating at restaurant was difficult since he can't sit in a high chair just yet). His 6 month appointment is coming up so I'm curious to know how much he has grown in the past 2 months. I'm assuming A LOT.
