What a fish

The weather finally warmed up enough for us to get out and see what Blake thought of Grandma and Grandpa's pool. We honestly didn't know what to expect but we were sure pleased with the results....

We had purchased this cute pool float, complete with moveable sun-shade and all. Blake had on his "little swimmers" and his Hawaiian-print swim trunks and he was ready for the pool. He definitely looked like an island native in his outfit...too cute. But now the real test; would he scream as soon as he touched the water? Would he love it and end up a future water polo star?

We headed outside and slowly eased him into the water and....nothing. He didn't cry. He didn't laugh. Nothing. So after a few minutes of getting use to the water we put him into the float and all was well. He hung out in there for the rest of the afternoon and was so content. He loosened up a bit and started to play with his toys, he even didn't mind when he got a little water in his face. It looks like we are going to have a summer filled with time in the pool and a happy little boy. This is good news. We have a little fish on our hands and we couldn't be more excited about it!

Me and my BUMBO

Blake has been practicing sitting up and using his BUMBO. He likes to be able to see what is going on and still play with his toys. He is doing a pretty good job and this keeps him entertained for a LITTLE while. He loses interest after he throws all of his toys onto the floor but ..... mom just has to pick them back up and put them back onto the tray and start over again.

We have a BUMBO at grandma and grandpa's house and he likes to sit up on the counter and watch grandpa cook and that is fun!

We had tried the BUMBO a few months ago and he didn't seem to like it very much... probably because his legs are a little "thick" and they got stuck when you tried to get him out of it but he is better now. He still gets stuck but he doesn't seem to worry as much and seems to know that he is ok.
