Lately I have been taking Jay over to the Cady Way Park, a fairly good park for kids within walking distance from the house. It has been really nice to get out during the day, especially since it has been a little cooler lately (to my Canadian family- this is all relative, it’s still in the 90’s here). Jay has really enjoyed going to the park as well. This comes as no surprise to me since he can people watch outside there and what could be better?
Here are a few pictures of Jay swinging from our first trip.
a new favorite of mine- it looks like he is waving although he can't do that yet
Jamie and I decided to bite the bullet and head down to Terra Ceia for Jay’s first overnight trip this weekend. I was nervous about making the trip and I am sure I packed way more than we actually need to have here but all I can say is that it has been bliss! The ride down went far better than either one of us could have hoped and we have all loved getting away. There are a ton of new things for Jay to check out including his first trip out on the dock and first time “fishing” with Pepere and Daddy . Hope you all are enjoying your weekend as much as we are…
Warning: there are excessive amount of pictures to come. It was, after all, Jay’s first trip to Terra Ceia which is huge and needed to be well documented (and this is only pictures from the first day)…
watching Pepere fishfishie, fishielove, love, love this one!!hanging out on the docknot a stellar picture but you can see two of Jay's three teeth in it and aside from that take a look at those lashes!loving hanging out on the dock!!fishing with a poleDaddy and Pepere fishing Jay's hat out of the water- opps!
Up until this point we have been carrying Jay pretty much everywhere we go; either in a Bjorn or my carrier. It has been really convenient and I have actually loved it. However, since he is getting heavier and because it is so hot outside carrying him has become less comfortable. Don’t believe me- strap a heated 15lb weight to your chest and head out for a walk and let me know if you’re comfy…
That being said, from day one Jay has disliked his car seat and, therefore, his snap and go stroller- it’s the same chair and all so it’s understandable. I hesitated to use the travel system stroller that was lent to us by his Aunt and Uncle since it was pretty big and bulky but after sweating to death one day last week while wearing him I asked Jamie to pull it out for me. Boy am I glad that I did! Jay loves, loves, loves it! I think that he could honestly hang out in that thing all day long if he needed to. He’ll prop one leg up on the tray in front of him and sit back and relax for the whole ride. Makes me really excited for when we can turn his car seat around since I am sure that he will prefer riding that way in the car too.
Yesterday Jay and I walked over to have a play date with Christina and Chase (our next door neighbor and her almost 8 week old son). We took a blanket and some toys outside, set up under the shade of a tree and had a grand old time. I can’t wait until we can do it again!
