Wade's First Vacation

Wade, Ryan, and I spent the weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks with our friends, the Woods and Haarmanns.  Wade was still a little young for too much fun, but he was a pretty easy baby all weekend and adjusted well to being and sleeping in a new place.   

Wade didn't get to go on the boat and only spent a few minutes in the water.  He didn't mind it, but it was difficult to keep him balanced in his raft while treading water.  He spent most of the weekend indoors. 

When Wade is a little older he will have lots of friends to play with!

 

Everyone had a fun time!

Swimming Fun

Wade had his first outing to the pool yesterday.  He kept his eyes shut most of the time and appeared to be sleeping, but I think it was the brightness of the sun that was bothering him.  It was also a very hot day.  He didn't seem to mind being in the pool water, which makes sense since he does fine with baths.  I'm sure he will love the pool eventually but I think it'll be another year before that happens.

He looked very cute in his new swimwear but his hat is still too big!

8 Weeks Old & Growing Fast

This week marked my return to work and the start of Ryan's summer vacation.  All things considered, it's going pretty well for me.  Of course, I would like to be home with them but luckily I enjoy my job and the people that I work with.  It's also nice to be back on a schedule again. 

Wade had his 8-week checkup with the doctor. He's in the >97th percentile on everything (height, weight, head circumference). And if you're really curious - he is actually weighing in at 17 pounds, 3 ounces. So much for yet another size of baby clothes! He had a rough time the evening of his vaccinations but the infant tylenol helped and he's been fine since.

This picture is from when Wade was 6 weeks old.  A little out of date already!  It's hard to keep up!

Anyway, we're doing great and I'm looking forward to my first weekend as a working mom.
