Dad's Day and Dedications

Our Family on Father's Day 2008

Happy Father's Day to all the great guys in my life, especially my Daddy. I had a great weekend with Dad. On Saturday, we went to see Papa Peters while Mommy went to get a pedicure and some time away with Aunt Shannon. I love being at Papa's house because he has different toys I can play with. There was a new doctor's cart there this time so I spent most of the time pushing that all around the house. On the way home, we stopped at a great Mexican restaurant in Bath, NY. It was my first real try of Mexican food and I really liked it. I especially liked the yummy fried ice cream we got for dessert.

Yesterday was Father's Day and also Theodore's dedication at church. We were up early for church as usually, but we didn't go alone! Papa and Grandma Peters came with us. So did Grandma Peterson, Uncle George, Aunt Laurie, Sarah, Karlie and Jenna. Mom and Dad usually take me right over to the nursery while they go to the service, but I stayed for the beginning of the service this time so I could go up front with Mom and Dad as Theo was dedicated. Of course, it was hard for me to stay quiet and to stay still so Daddy walked around with me until it was time to go up, and promptly headed for the nursery with me once the dedication was over.

Everyone came back to our house and we ate a yummy brunch, then headed outside to play. I showed everyone how I go all over the yard pushing my red cart. My cousins were really good about watching me as I ran around and played. All the playing got me REALLY tired and I took nearly a 4 hour nap in the afternoon. Luckily when I woke up, everyone was still here (minus Grandma & Papa Peters who headed home earlier). Sarah, Karlie and Jenna were all swimming in the pool. I am still not so sure about the pool. I like to be able to put my feet down on something solid when I am in water, but I did have a lot of fun walking around the outside of the pool and throwing the balls in to them. I even stood on the ladder and put my feet in the water for a while.

We had a super yummy cookout before they all had to head home. It was great to see everyone and it turned out to be a great weekend! The day wound down with a bath from Mommy and some cuddle time with Daddy. Can't ask for anything more than that!!

In honor of Theodore's Dedication, here are some extra cute photos of him. He has started sucking his thumb a lot. And guess what? Last night, he slept completely through the night!! Theo slept from 8 PM to 6 AM!! That is 10 hours and is by far the longest he has ever gone! Mommy sure was happy!
