Pool-tastic Weekend

James and I spent a lot of time at Gma Chele's pool this past weekend. Friday we went over with Jen K (soon to be Jen G, can't wait for August 22nd) and then after Sunday full of yard work for myself (mowing) and Jim (putting lava rock around the plants) we went to crash Uncle John's pool party!

Hmmm, toes or pool?

All dressed and ready to go -- the floppy hat is still big, but you can't put sunscreen on them until they're 6 months old, so ya gotta do whatcha gotta do!

James and Daddy ~ Jim had much more luck on day 2 with getting James farther into the water (much better than his first attempt on Father's Day). We found using the mat is good because it's easier to hold James up and the water gets warmer for him to stand/sit/lie in.
Fresh air + fun in the sun = sleeping baby boy :-) He conked out on Jen -- so sweet!
Pamper me (and I'm not talking about a new diaper)
Having fun with Mommy and Gma Chele

Why James isn't allowed to hang out with Uncle John on his own until he's 21...maybe 25 :-)

  1. Hey! I love your blog! It's been awhile since I got on here, but its so fun to catch up with James' progress! Can't believe how teeny he is! Kylie was 13-4 at 3 months and has since outgrown all her clothes! He's doing so much though which is awesome! She's got the giggle down, and loves the exersaucer, but not too much else other than practicing her screaming noises (maybe it's the terydactyl one?!) Anyway, you CAN put baby sunscreen on them under 6 months according to my doctor, and I've never had a problem with either kid. I still cover them up and stay out of the direct rays if I can, but Ky's been 'swimming' all summer and hasn't had a problem. My doc said sun is so bad for their skin that the sunscreen is worth it. Just thought I'd share if it makes your life a little easier!! I think I have the Coppertone babies kind, it seems less greasy than some of the others, but the banana boat kind has worked fine too. Enjoy the little bit of summer that is left!!
