Busy Boy

The past few weeks have been busy for our family! We celebrated the fourth by checking out the Boness family's new pool for a few minutes. We didn't get in but Eliot sat on the side with Ty so he could experience a swimming pool. I wasn't sure what he would think about water that was significantly cooler than his bath, but he didn't seem to mind! He had his feet in for a few minutes and never made a peep. We continued on to the Kellys in Rocklin (Eliot's parents). Farmor and Grandpa made dinner and Uncle Vincent and Auntie Jenny put on a little fireworks show for Ty. Again, we weren't sure what Ty would think about it, but he did great! His eyes got BIG but there were no tears.

BIG eyes!

Ty also had his first go in the Bumbo this past week. He's not quite to the point where he can really sit comfortably in it, but he's getting close! He seemed to enjoy it for a few minutes.

Not so sure about this....

Look at that hair! If I brush Ty's hair when it's wet it sort of lays down flat, but if I let it air dry this is what happens! Kind of reminds me of a baby Orangutan :) I think we're going to have a curly haired little boy!

 Our other recent adventure was to a wedding! Our friend Veronica got married at the Embassy Suites in Napa. I found myself a non-maternity dress that would accommodate nursing and had a spill-friendly pattern, got Ty a "dressy" outfit, El busted out a shirt and tie, and we headed off to Napa. There was traffic and some hungry baby tears on the way but we made it. The wedding was beautiful and lots of fun! I tearfully made it through TWO mother-son dances and Ty was cheerful when he wasn't sleeping through the festivities. During the reception Ty landed a nice, hot, chunky spit up on my dress and down my legs. As we cleaned it up we laughed at the fact that last year if we had been at this wedding we would have been enjoying the wine and talking about getting a hotel room rather than driving home :) But instead we sucked down our ice water, nursed at the Starbucks in Fairfield (where Ty's dressy outfit succumbed to a poopy blowout), and fell into bed exhausted but happy!

Our first family picture since the day Ty was born!

Ty's "dressy" outfit. There isn't much to choose from for boys this age...lots of dresses for little girls though!

Bright flash!

Hands in the mouth at all times these days.

Ty's first money dance!
