this weekend so far has been pretty good. friday started out with taking erik to his 2.5 year well visit with his doctor, and he's growing and developing awesomely! he's now 34 pounds and 38 inches tall and perfectly proportional in the 90th percentile for both height and weight (can you tell i'm a super proud mommy?). he's right on target for his physical and cognitive development and is a smart and happy little boy. although he wasn't super cooperative with the weighing and measuring and poking and prodding, he sat and answered all of the doctor's questions perfectly, and didn't freak out too much when his daddy had to hold him down for the hib vaccine. after the doctor, peter and i both decided to skip out on work/school and took erik to the childrens museum. i think he had a really good time there, but sharing (or rather lack of sharing) still remains a frustrating issue for peter and i!

i also stopped for a quick self portrait with the cool "raining letters" light thingy.
after the museum, we had a nice lunch at wendy's where erik totally pigged out and then went home where erik didn't take a nap but i did. we had a quiet friday evening at home and peter weedwacked the front "yard." erik has thanked him repeatedly for doing this because now he can go out into the front "yard" without getting lost.
our saturday was also really nice, kind of lazy but also kind of productive. we slept in a little, had bagels for breakfast, and i did some laundry and started the formidable task of cleaning out our closet while erik and peter played. it was long overdue, and i've actually made enough room for most of our clothes in there. it still needs a lot of work though. we decided to go out for a late lunch (with gift cards for red lobster - YUM) and some shopping at ikea. we are looking for a "big boy bed" for erik and i can't decide between a toddler bed and a twin bed. the toddler bed is attractive because it will take up less space in his room (for now) and we already have the mattress for it, but he'll probably outgrow it in a couple of years and we'll need to get a twin bed anyway. they did have a cute toddler bed with a built-in rail for less than $100, so we're tempted by that. plus when asked, erik said he wants "a little bed," so maybe we will go that route. we'll think about it a little more before committing to one or the other though. they had a couple really neat twin beds as well, and there's also the idea of getting bunk beds which he may like in the future. too many choices!
erik fell asleep on the way home so we stopped by my lab to make sure my shipment arrived yesterday and was placed at the appropriate temperature, and at the library to get peter's book. at home erik played outside while i did more closet cleaning/organizing. then bathtime, yo gabba gabba, dinner and erik's bedtime (aka fun time for peter and me).
yeah, i still need to catch up with blogging about our vacation. it'll happen sometime. for now, it's getting late and i need to figure out what i'm going to get when we go to joe's crab shack tomorrow to celebrate my mom's birthday!
