Last Weekend Recap

This past weekend Mike took Bryson to the airport to watch planes land and fly away while Finley and I had a girls shopping day together. Apparently there is a little area specifically for parking and doing just that. So, Bryson enjoyed watching the planes and said "bye Herb" to just about every one. This stems from another video that he's been watching. After liking the trash truck video with George in it that he liked so much, we looked to see what other videos were available from the maker, and they had a planes video that we thought would be fun for him to watch in preparation for his first plane flight coming up when we go to San Diego in less than 2 weeks now! Anyways, the pilot's name on the video is Herb, and he thinks he flies every plane, and thinks that we will soon be seeing him when we go to fly. It should be interesting when he doesn't get to really see Herb. That, or we'll be paying the pilot to say he is Herb just so there is no crying involved.
This past Saturday evening Mike and Bryson tried camping in the backyard. We love camping, and thought Bryson might be ready for it, but decided to try it out at home in the backyard first, before we try going somewhere to camp. I had been at Target earlier in the day and saw a camping Woody doll (from Toy Story), and it had a sleeping bag for Woody and also a tiny lantern that you could press to light up. I figured it was appropriate to get that toy for him in excitement of his first camping experience. He was really excited, and ended up doing really well. Finley and I joined them outside for a bit to play in the tent, and then we headed back inside for the night while Mike and Bryson had a boys night camping outside.

Mike said he curled up and slept all night. He captured this picture of him first thing in the morning.
In other news about the trash truck video guy, George, Bryson has never eaten plain old cheese like a lot of kids. He'll eat it melted on things, but no cubed cheese for him. That is until we said that George loves cheese, and that he'd be very happy if he tried cheese, and he did, AND he ate a whole piece of string cheese!! So, now when we want him to try something new, we tell him George would be so happy, and that George loves whatever it is, and it works for the most part. I really doubt George realizes that people still watch these videos, and doubt that he realizes there is some little boy out there who admires him so much (that he would eat cheese for the first time after 2 1/2 years) considering these videos seem to have been made in the 80s.

Finley has been a little angel lately. She is so content and sleeping so good (knock on wood)! She usually goes down at about 8:00 and wakes up around 3:30 for a feeding, and then again around 8:00, so I am so happy that we've gotten past multiple feedings each night. I'm hoping we're even getting closer to dropping that one at 3:30 as this morning she passed that and didn't wake up until 5:30. We have been blessed with 2 good sleepers so far after the first few months of infancy.
We hope you all have a good Easter!
