A great couple of days

Saturday marked the third day in a row that I had worked, and the first two days I had worked both morning and night. Luca's 6th tooth came in on that third day, and that, in combination with not seeing me very much for three days, really got to him. He was crying a lot that day. Daddy was exhausted. After I got off work at 330, we relaxed and ate a bunch of food. Luca at tons of Shepard pie! Luca fell asleep at 5:30 and woke up at 6pm. We got in the car and drove to Southern Village for a movie on the lawn. He didn't cry the whole way there (35 minutes?). When we got there it was about 6:45 and the movie didn't start until sundown (after 9pm?), so we hung out on the lawn and listened to a mediocre band play. We walked to Weaver street and got some indian food, which he ate while standing up on our blanket. He has never stood up so long by himself!! He made friends with neighboring babies. Then we walked around, ate some frozen yogurt (mom got sorbet, baby had fresh raspberries), bought our movie tickets ($4 each), hung out on the blanket, etc... he had a great time. The movie (Hunger Games) started at about 9:45. He was feeling a little crazy. He was making loud baby noises at the sky, at people, at the movie screen. At one point he just laid down on the blanket and yelled at the stars. Then Ash took him on a walk in the carrier and he fell asleep. He slept on the blanket THE ENTIRE MOVIE. And then we put him in the car, and he slept THE ENTIRE WAY HOME. Today was our day off, so we went to my parent's house and chilled and watered the vegetables. We shot a bow and arrow for a little while. Then the baby napped for OVER TWO HOURS and I napped along with him. I couldn't believe it. He turned 10 months old yesterday. I'm so excited about him growing up!! He has only woken up once or twice at night, several times in the past two weeks. Everything is finally starting to get a little easier.
