May was a busy month! Tom and I were able to take a Friday afternoon to see Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3, and we really liked it! We spent a long weekend in Cape May (Mother's Day weekend, actually). Tom's mom and two sisters joined us, and Henry had a great time with everyone (although I wasn't happy that he was getting up at 5:30am every day!). We went to the Cape May Zoo, walked around the park/beach at the lighthouse, and strolled on the Wildwood boardwalk. Our VRBO was in a great location, just a couple blocks from the Washington Street Mall. We took plenty of neighborhood walks, too. We celebrated at a birthday party for two of Henry's cousins and he had way too much fun playing in the bounce house and small pool. We had a barbeque on Memorial Day and some of my family came over.
Henry update! Last month he transitioned to the Toddler room at daycare and he is doing great! They say he is very sociable and curious. He passed his baked egg allergy test, so we are incorporating some more foods and keeping our fingers crossed for his next allergy test later this year. He is now 18 months, which blows my mind! It's so interesting to see how he can now follow simple directions (although he will ignore me just as often). Unfortunately we are having some food troubles and he's refusing to eat foods he used to happily eat before, like broccoli. I think that's totally normal for his age, but it's frustrating! He can recognize shapes (he loves pointing out stars), point to different body parts, and his favorite word is bubble!

What a fun month. It's so nice that you got to enjoy some family time in Cape May. I feel like a hack mom when I read about the way new moms do stuff. I just gave the kid food. LOL!
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm definitely not a super mom, but we had allergy testing done on Henry when we thought he was allergic to peanuts and then found out he was actually allergic to eggs. It's an allergy that kids will often outgrow, so we're on that path now. As far as other foods, I try to give him a little bit of everything and just let him decide if he wants to eat it. At least the option is there!
DeleteLooks like you read a bunch of great books. What was your favorite?
ReplyDeleteSmart Move was probably my favorite this month!
DeleteCape May sounds nice. I saw another blogger talking about tat area. I still need to see Guardians.
ReplyDeleteDead Silence and Reckless Girls! I liked both of those...
I can see how both of those books would be up your alley!
DeleteSounds like you had a fun month! Yay for Henry and all of his milestones. That's interesting about the broccoli. I remember when Ian was that age, he went through a phase where he would refuse to eat foods of a certain texture. Anything like oatmeal, yogurt, pudding that was soft and thickened. It was a weird time, haha.
ReplyDeleteHaha, it's always something with kids!
DeleteLooks like you had a busy but fun month - your weekend in Cape May sounds especially fun! Also congrats on Henry's milestones! Already 18 months, time does fly :) Hope you'll have a great June!
ReplyDeleteIt really does! For some reason, 18 months sounded big. Thanks, Lindsey!
DeleteWhat a fun trip! It sounds like it was a great time. And hooray for all that Henry is doing! I hope all the allergy tests keep going well also. I can't believe he's already 18 months, also! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it, either! Time is flying!
