On Sunday he then got to spend the day with Grandpa and Grandma Diana. Grandpa took him on his first tractor ride and boy did he think he was special. I actually had to go to a bridal shower for my dear Laura and while I missed my boys it was nice to get a few "free" hours with the ladies! (Waiting on tractor pictures from Grandpa, camera was with mom at the shower.)
(Side note- we will probably be back "east" 2 or 3 more weekends this summer and while we would love to see ALL of our friends and family back home its just really hard to schedule visits around 8 feedings/meals & 3 naps since everyone is very spread out. It makes for a lot of driving around, which I don't feel the need to subject my spoiled boy to toooo much of; so we're trying to make our rounds but never wait for an invite to come see us, you're is always welcome!)
Since porch pool isn't warming up terribly quickly (hopefully this nice warm weather is here to stay now, my baby was in fleece feety sleepers all day Friday, the 5th of JUNE!) Nate got him a little splash pool which he seems to enjoy. The boy loves water. Even pouring down over his face in the tub and stuff, he never seems to mind! A water baby like mom & dad.
And of course we're at 8 months today....my how it goes quickly.
We decided it would be ok to try our first "real" food and gave him some strawberry/apple puffs. He liked them. He had some trouble getting them to his mouth, they kinda stick to your hand. But he did even gum them up before swallowing. He "gagged" a few times but that's nothing new with eating anyway. It was a good start. And of course he LOVES his watermelon in the mesh bag.
And, because he's so heavy and has been hurting my arm (especially since we have mom and Max nursery rhyme dance time every night, compliments of Comcast On Demand Baby Boost) I learned a new way to use the good old Peanut Shell!

He's going to be taller than George soon! I'm probably not going to see him until Minnesota! If you want to come for a Thursday/Friday, we could take Max to the pool~ he would love it! I'll be up for almost a week in July- the 2nd to last week I think. Thanks for all the great pics and have Nate make me a Cd of them sometime so I can see them bigger:)
