To celebrate our wonderful daddy today, we spent the morning at the pool, then we went to eat at his favorite pizza buffet (LOL, only a Dad would want to eat that on THEIR holiday). Since Eric had to leave this evening to go out of town (BOOOOOO!), we had taken him yesterday to Academy to pick out some snorkel gear that he wanted (for our upcoming trip to Grand Cayman) and a new Texas Rangers baseball cap. Also, last week, Carter and I made Daddy a special keepsake to hang in his office. Here are a few pics of what we did.
Oh my, what was I thinking?
Blue paint on the hands of a 14 month old.... dangerous!
At least one of us was having fun!
It took a few to get a good one.... bottom left was the winner!
And the finished product....
It was a sweet little poem about growing up,
and a hand print to remember when Carter was small.
AND.... Carter decided to do his first "serious" walking today, probably in honor of his fantastic Daddy! He has been taking a few steps between furniture and such, but not really striking off on his own and taking lots of steps. This afternoon he took 10-12 steps between Eric and me..... and he did this about 20 times! He even got brave enough to take off from the couch and walk in the direction of Daddy nearby. AND, he decided to do all of this about 30 minutes before Eric had to leave for the airport! I'm so glad he did it before Eric left for 3 days! We were both so proud!! I'm sure this, alone, would've been the best Father's Day gift Eric could have ever received!! I got some video, so I'll be posting that soon.
Happy Father's Day, Eric. You're the greatest Daddy ever, and we love you so much! Also, Happy Father's Day to my wonderful dad and father-in-law. You two are one of the biggest reasons Eric and I are who we are today! We love you!
