Water Park Wednesday

Mr. Baby and I had a great day at the water park today! Due to the unseasonably cool summer we've had so far, this was the first day we were able to go swimming for more than a few minutes. We did go swimming one other time, but that was in a lake and it wasn't warm enough to swim for any length of time.

Today was perfect weather-wise, we had so much fun. We also had some great company consisting of my friend, Nancy (the one from my previous post,) Nancy's best friend, Kate, who is in town right now from Boston, along with her husband and their four children. Our water park gang included four adults and five children, ranging in age from three months to 15 years. I've been hanging out with these guys off and on all week, and I can see how I could become spoiled to having so many little helpers running around! Charlie is loving all the attention he's getting from the cool big kids, and well...I'm enjoying having him entertained without having to worry.

The first thing we did was go into the wave pool, which was a little overwhelming for Charlie until I held him really close. Once the waves came on, he was sound asleep in a matter of minutes. It was really sweet for me to snuggle him close while the waves gently rocked us back and forth. After that, we spent some time in the wading pool, where Charlie actually kicked his legs a little bit. After a bottle, lunch, and diaper change, we headed back to the water, this time to the lazy river. We were in an inter-tube, and again, little C. was asleep before we even made a full circle around the river. Honestly, these are moments I will cherish forever...even though there are no photos of the sweetness.

In other news, Charlie rolled from his tummy to his back this morning! He was lying on our bed the first time he did it, so we moved him to the floor...and sure enough, over he want! I don't think he's quite figured it all out just yet, but he's well on the way.

He's also doing some major teething right now. He's not eating as much, and he's drooling non-stop. He's almost always got his firsts crammed into his mouth, and if not that then he's chewing on something.


I can't imagine him with little white teeth in his mouth, but at the same time I can't wait! It's funny, even when he's clearly not feeling his best he's such a happy little boy. How did we get so lucky?
