Will's First Time at the Pool!

Well, on Saturday we went to the pool and it was quite an experience to say the least. We got this really cool floatation device, a cute little turtle for Will. Anyway upon entering the pool we were told that we could not take his turtle in the "big" pool. What? I had never heard of this. then they proceeded to tell us that we could only use it in the baby pool. Are you serious? Well of course none of this lifeguards have children, so they do not know. Then he asked if we had a ecologically friendly diaper on. What? Believe me, we recycle and we have gone green. He said that we cannot use the swim diapers because they leak. OMG! Well, by that time I was like where the heck do I get a ecological diaper? So he said they sell them there. Well we got one and to make a long story short, they did not have a small and they gave us a large. Well a large ecological diaper is not going to fit a baby who is 14lbs and this diaper he gave me is designed for a toddler. Anyway, here are some great pics of Will on his first pool outing. He loved the water and had such a good time. He did get tuckered out and took a little nap but he was ready to go back as soon as he woke up.

Up close, again trying to grab the camera.

Wild hair Will, we put sunblock in his hair and it just went crazy!

Well, daddy says that Will was asking for knuckles here. It is too cute.

Knuckles again with a very laid back look!


All smiles for mommy and daddy.

I just love the pool and my new teeth coming in!

Trying to grab the camera and sticking his tongue out. A multi-tasker!

Just another pic in his safari sun hat. Many more days of the pool to come!

Going To The Pool Today!!

It is going to be a humid day here in Annapolis. So we are headed to Va. today to visit my sister and go to her pool. This will be Will's first time at the pool. We have got lots of sun protection, a cool new turtle floatation device that has a top to it, water babies spf 50, and a water proof shirt. He is ready! I will have some pics up hopefully tomorrow of his experience. I hope everyone has a great Saturday and if you are getting the weather we are getting, stay cool!

Will with his shades on! Suprisingly he does not mind them and he actually keeps his eyes open when he is wearing them. Guess we will see how long these last.

I just love those gummy smiles! I can't get enought of them!

Just A Picture

Just look at the little bird legs sticking out! They run in this family...for sure!

Thanks!

First I just wanted to say thanks to all that stopped by to give me a little advice on sleeping. I will keep you all posted on the ins and outs/ups and downs of Will and his sleeping. To Shannon, the 1st Shannon that commented, I would love to stop by your blog but I was not able to get linked to it. Will was born on Jan. 23. I thought that was kind of cool! Here are some random pictures of my niece Lilly at her last soccer game of the season. This was her first year, she is actually quite good. She gives those boys a run for their money, that is for sure. She pushes them around the field!

Lilly sitting on the sidelines just itching to go in and play. Such a moment captured though, her just sitting there.

Lilly amongst the boys...again a moment captured.

Lilly going after the ball, my sister said she got better and better with each game played. She has so much energy to burn off!

Lilly with a funny look on her face, I did not put some of the pics up because it seems like every time Lilly was going after the ball her tongue was sticking out, like it helped with the kicking of the ball. Sooo...Funny!

Swing..Sleep..Swing..Crib..Wake..Sleep..Wake..You Get The Picture

This is a question to all the moms out there. How do you get a 4 month old to fall asleep on his own without the use of a swing, without putting him in his crib to "cry it out"? That is my question. I do not mind putting him in his swing to fall asleep, it saves my arms! But once the transfer from the swing to the crib is complete, within 10 minutes he is up, usually being fussy. So I go in and give him his binky which calms him down, but forget it, if that binky falls out of his mouth it wakes him up again. This routine will go on for about 2-3 times and then by the last time he is out. My sister says I should do the Dr. Ferber method, but it is really hard for me to just put him in his crib and let him cry. Since he really does not cry a lot. So to all the moms out there, I need your advice on what has worked for you, what you might suggest, what you have heard works. I will take any advice on this. Gotta go...watching "So you think you can dance". Don't you just love these shows!

Tummy Time..and Some rolling over..

Hope you enjoy this other video...this one has a little more of Will talking. It is way too funny! You will get a kick out of it.

JUMP-A-ROO TIME!!

As promised here is a video of Will for the first time in his jump-a-roo. He loved it! Plus you can hear all the talking he has been doing lately. So sweet, I could just eat him up! He did not quite get the jumping down but he is a fast learner. It was so cute, his little legs sticking out! Whenever it moved he would get so excited. We were needing a new toy of interest as he has gotten bored with all of his laying down kicking toys. We might get him the other jump-a-roo from baby einstein since it has some toys he can play with but for now, I think that he seemed to enjoy this a lot. Happy Tuesday!!
