My parents left late on a Sunday night and after 5 days of work, our next visitors arrived… by boat after their Alaskan Cruise. Tracy, Sherri, Papaw and Karen stayed in Seattle 4 extra days to visit with us.
Enjoying some tasty watermelon and helping his granny in the kitchen…
Eating rib, halibut and potatoes…
Making faces with papaw…
Going for a walk…
Aiden got to add several more miles to his car.
Family pictures, including a “4 generations” photo…
Riding the ducks, one of my favorite Seattle tourist activities!
We got to fit in some play time with Elizabeth and Ari.
Aiden and Ari both ate strawberries for the first time.
The weather has been very warm so we’ve been able to use the baby pool in the front yard. We have also gone to our neighborhood pool to swim. We did not sign up for the second session of swim classes at the gym because our summer schedule is too hectic to make most of them, until the fall we will just have to practice pool skills on our own. Our goal is go at least once a week on our own.
Aiden has a funny crawl. He crawls on his left knee and right foot and it’s only gotten more prominent as he’s gotten better and faster.
Aiden enjoyed a pickle for the first time. I thought surely we’d get a goofy face. But he munched on it like he’d been eating them since day 1.
And of course, some baby giggles…
Day care sent home the infant room newsletter which announced that Aiden is standing on his own and we also got an incident report. This is not Aiden’s first mishap, this actually #3 for him, but this is nothing new to us. He bumps his head on our wood floors daily.
In the last month we started off with a good week of sleep that deteriorated with company and rearranged sleeping situations, and then the last 3 days have also been good, but the rest has been mediocre. My definition of good is sleeping is when he sleeps from about 8pm to 8am only waking up once in between. Mediocre sleep is waking up any where from 2 to 4 times between 8 and 8.
