I have to tell you a secret. As I am writing this, I am on an Elijah high. We hung out tonight with Morgan at the Kroc pool and it was the most fun ever! I hadn't taken you to the pool in ages and you loved it. You laughed and grinned the whole time in your floatie. I splashed you and you giggled. We went in the lazy river most of the time and you loved the water, the kids, the floatie!! Here is the deal kiddo - most days, you are your daddy's son. You look like him so much that it is hard for me to see a lot of me in you. In the water today with you laughing and smiling, you were my son. You were a water baby!
Anyway, flashback to the weekend. We had kind of a weird weekend. On Saturday, I was in a photography class all day so you hung out with daddy. When I got home, I was so tired and I was praying you would take a nappy since daddy had plans. I didn't know if I could function without a nappy. So, we laid down at 4:30 and you were asleep next to me by 5. I woke up around 7:15 thinking you were starting to get up and wiggle around. You did wake up - long enough to eat for 15 minutes and then you went back to sleep until 2:00 AM! You slept from 5 - 2!!! Thankfully, daddy took you at 2 am and you guys hung out together sleeping until 9:30. I took you then, fed you then we took another nappy together. As a family, we were not functioning until after 12:00!! We went out for breakfast and then we went over to Maureen's house. Maureen is Great Grampa Bill's wife. We had been planning to go visit her for months and finally got over there. Want to hear something weird baby? While we were there, the curtains were moving like crazy (both your dad & I heard it) but the air conditioning was not on and the window was closed. Also, when we were there, a lightbulb blew out. You know what I think? Grampa Bill was there with us hanging out :)
One other big piece of news for the weekend. We bought a pool for you & me to hang out in. It isn't a huge one - just a 12' circle and 2.5' deep. Daddy started setting it up for you in the yard and we learned that it is not as level as it looks. So, he is going to move it up on the bottom deck for us to hang out in. I hope that it is all set up and warm for us this weekend!
This morning, it was a little hard for me to send you to Mary's. I knew that you were missing your friends there but, all in all, I enjoyed our week together. I was going to miss you! You were back in your routine in no time and you smiled all day at your friends. After the pool, your daddy and I talked and we decided to buy a season pass to cocokey. It is really reasonable and we can just as easily take you there as we can to the other pools. Plus, it is indoors and warmer for you (and your wussy daddy)! Can't wait to take you!!
One last thing to ramble on about. You are doing so good with your food. You are eating everyday and you are opening your mouth for every spoonful. You are consistently eating a container of food - 1/2 veggies, 1/2 fruit. You aren't gagging as much with your drama-ness, you aren't spitting it up as much and it seems like you are enjoying eating more.
OK baby, that is all my rambling for today. I still owe you some photos that are on my camera but at least I have your pool photo with Morgan today!!
i wanna come to coco key, too!
