10 Months!

On Friday Truman turned 10 months! It is hard for me to comprehend that in 2 short months he will be a year old. I am having such mixed feelings....how life will change, but I suppose change is what also makes life interesting.

On Friday afternoon, Aunt Lily came from NYC to visit with the Topolski fmaily this weekend. We are so happy to see her as we missed her last weekend. The three of us spent the afternoon hanging out together. It was so nice to see Aunt Lil and Truman bonding. We then headed over to Grandma's house for dinner (Chinese...yum!).

Saturday afternoon we were invited by Eddie to the Granite Club for brunch and were joined by Ryan, Rebecca and Jake. It was such a lovely afternoon and it felt like we weren't even in the city (although, the city is DEAD this weekend.....where did everyone go???). After brunch, we headed to KiddieProofers to purchase some gates and some other gadgets to keep Truman out of trouble. Now that Truman is crawling, he is into everything. I also have to say he is a lot happier now that he is mobile. Jerry was so upset when we were at the store, and not that the salesperson helped in the matter. We felt like such neglectful parents for not buying EVERY gadget that they had in the store. I think at one point Jerry was going to leave after a few words that the salesperson uttered. Anyways, we purchased only what we needed and I am sure that Truman will be safe. Yikes! This place preys on the fear of the first-time parent!

Saturday evening we met up with Baba, Grandma Wanda, Grandpa David and Lily for a delicious Italian dinner on College street. Truman was an angel and decided to flirt with every woman he saw....blowing kisses and waving. Machismo! He is starting so early, what am I going to do?

This afternoon we headed to Oakville to visit with the Sullivans and Thorntons. Truman found a few toys that he was really interested in (maybe Mommy may have to buy one) and the kids seemed to have a great time playing....oh and maybe the adults had fun playing with some of the toys too! We then went to Grandma's to celebrate Baba's 91st birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABA!!! Aunt Lily taught Truman how to identify "light"....I was so proud of my little boy. He also said his first real word this weekend "up"! He may not be the most mobile kid....but he sure loves to "talk'!
