Two for the price of one Tuesdays!

These last two weeks have flown by! I finally had a minute to go through my pictures etc. and get a posting going! Last week on No TV Tuesday it was my Birthday! The big 28! (Nothing changes when you turn 28 :-) But I did have a wonderful Birthday!

I received many cards and well wishes on my day! We went over to dinner at my parents house and had a meal that was absolutely amazing! It was filled with all my favorite foods! (I did not get pictures of everything, but I posted a few for you to enjoy!)

**The highlights of the meal were the sushi, the beat & goat cheese salad, the salmon, steak, sweet potatoes, goat cheese and crackers, and the beautiful brussel sprouts & asparagus. It was spectacular!!

Our lovely spring themed table setting!

And...to top the night off my angel food cake with candles that burned different color flames! They were really neat.

And here is Odin and his Uncle Neil because pictures of Odin are the best ;-)

Today on our No TV Tuesday we ran around town a little bit doing some neat things like making sure Odin's Passport is going to be in order for our trip to Toronto in May! We also took a run to the

Carters store and updated Odin's closet a bit because the weather has been and will continue to be in the 70's!!!! and this little guy needs some lighter layers!

Last Friday Odin became a proud new owner of a baby Cranial Helmet. Odin has been going to Physical Therapy for a couple months to help with Tortacolis (tightness of his neck) on one side. This has all pretty much been fixed with his therapy and everyone being diligent regarding his progress. Unfortunately this problem has left our little man with a bit of a flat spot on his head from preferring to look one way/sleep one way more often. So with the idea that Odin may someday want to shave his head, get a Mohawk, or go bald :-) we thought he would appreciate having a round head. :-) He needs to wear his helmet 22 hours a day with short 1/2 hour breaks. But good news, he does not seem to mind wearing it at all! We should be getting some stickers in the mail that I ordered so he can get some cool decals going! As long as we can prevent him from using it as a crash test helmet we will be good!

Odin has also made some serious advances in the last 2 weeks. Our little man started to eat rice cereal and will soon be on his way to some veggies! He also learned how to roll from his back to his front which makes him pretty mobile already! But to top off his list of firsts....Jeremy has gotten him to repeat "Pa...Pa" to him many times! I even got it on recording because I could barely believe it! He is not even 5 1/2 months yet! He will really be keeping us on our toes!

We finished our day with a great walk where we all wore short sleeves. This weather is really freaky! We can't wait to see what the rest of the fantastic weather this week brings us!

We were sick Tuesday

No TV Tuesday was a bust this last Tuesday. I got a call at work that Odin was sick at daycare with a fever. So we headed home and he slept for 4 1/2 hours only waking up to eat then falling asleep in my arms again. Soooo.....I watched TV while he slept. That is what you are supposed to do when you are sick right? :-) Odin was out sick for the rest of the week. Grandpa Mark took a turn watching him on Friday morning while I went to work to get some stuff done.

Here is a picture I snapped with my phone of my sick baby :-(

We have plans for This coming Tuesday because it is my birthday and we are having a special dinner at my Mom and Dad's. Odin is going to be starting to eat Rice Cereal! He is growing up so fast we can hardly believe it.

Here are a couple of pictures from the last week to tied you over until our next post! :-)

Here is Odin trying on his swim suit with his rash guard that looks like a shark! Don't you just love the fin and teeth?

Here is Odin getting pushed in his new chair by his Uncle Neil! He has him wrapped around his finger for sure :-)
