He was so chill, letting his cousins hold the hose of freezing waterover his face.
After the toy was taken from him by this guy...
and then after he had to give it back.
It was a hot hot day--in the high 90s and the humidity felt about 1000%. The kids ended the day in some little pools and our boy played away in the water and pulling himself up on the sides. He lasted longer than all the cousins and held his own with all of them as they splashed him.
A few more things I remember:
*How amazing that I was able to wake up so easily ever couple hours to feed him and stay awake. That was a miracle.
*How he never got baby acne and had and still has the most beautiful skin tone.
* Feeling excited and relieved when we would weigh him (in those first couple weeks) and he had gained ounces.
* Watching "Deadliest Catch" during the night feedings. Love Sig.
* Spending an hour feeding him, then an hour pumping just in time to feed him again. Phew.
* The double breast pump. nuff said.
* The day he started to eat well and do the whole suck suck swallow thing and not be the lazy eater he was--only took him 6 weeks.

Water and cousins...Keeping cool. See you all next week.We are working hard here to come and do the same there. Hang in....
ew...pumping...that killed me, just to see the precious ounces disappear in no time.
He looks so cute! Eddie getting him with the hose is freaking priceless, what a supper trooper.
I love these! The water all over Lars face, and the tears!! sometimes I think as adults we just want to cry out so uninhibited, it's amazing to see kids change so quickly from being totally distraught to perfectly content!
