John Thomas and I got to go to the pool three times this week! Our best family friends, the
Bradley's, have a swimming pool that stays partly shaded all day--which is perfect for our little one. The first day he put his toes in (i.e. I put his toes in) and that was all he was up for. The second and third days he got in all the way up to his armpits and stayed in until his feet started to prune up. I think he might be fond of the water, just like his momma.
He's even started picking up babes at the pool, or rather they're picking him up. Hopefully our summer pool buddy, Sarah, will be able to enjoy a few more weeks poolside before baby Charlotte gets here.
Don't judge me, but I had to share this face with the world. I have discovered in all my well-intended efforts to not spoil our son, this face will get him about anything he wants. Mom will feed him, change him, sing to him and stand on my head whistling Dixie to help this look disappear.
Chester has figured out how to steal some affection from the little guy. On a different note, we still don't have the sleeping routine perfected but he'll at least sleep for six hours at a time once he goes to sleep. Also, we've learned that he is the sweetest when he wakes up in the morning and I have no idea where he acquired this trait. If I'm only going to get six hours of sleep, at least I'll be waking up to a sweet happy baby.

That face! I would move mountains for that cute face! Don't worry; In all my Child Development Studies it says you can't spoil them before 6months. This is the "Trust vs. Mis-Trust" stage...lol!
ReplyDeleteHope to hang with the sweet boy this week. My goal is to get him to smile at me sometime this week. Think he'll give one up for someone other than Mama?
ReplyDeleteI think God makes them extra cute so that we dont eat our young when we have only got 6 hrs sleep & there crying for the 14th time that day. lol
