Father's Day Weekend

Dad's first Father's Day.... Will is feeling better, but has a nasty cough that kept him up a lot during the night and distrupted his naps, so poor guy was pretty cranky. Mom has what I assume to be laryngistis (that's how Word told me to spell it...) and is now voiceless; I spent the better part of the weekend exhausted and weak, but of course, kept going, because that's what moms do when their little man is on the go. And by on the go, I mean we never stopped; dad, mom....chasing the bear! He's a busy, busy man!

Friday, we decided to get the pool mat out to play, but that didn't last long, because dad came home and wanted to swim too, so we went to Grammy and Grandpa's. It was determined this weekend that Father's Day is the whole weekend, not just one Day, so it started Friday w/ Daddy pool time!

Doesn't he look like he's modeling here? He's showing Aunt Traci his cool bathing suit she brought him back from Maui...and posing for the camera!
(demonstrating the right way to get back down!)
Will is fearless, as all babies are; he now thinks he can stand and let go of things without falling. Of course, his little legs aren't quite strong enough for that, so in one weekend we pulled a chair on top of ourself (wooden chair, not the bar stool), bruising the right side of our face, then fell into Aunt Traci's chair at dinner and bruised the left side of his face. What really ripped my heart out was, I was right there, w/in a foot of him, w/ both instances and wasn't able to catch him. Case in point, I guess that's why we just did swim lessons; you can be right there and still accidents happen.

Here is Will's greatest Dad in the world! They had a great Father's Day weekend together; swimming, playing, swimming, playing, (you get the point) they didn't stop! We've used the pool more in the first weeks of this summer, than I think we have in 5 years. Having a baby is so much fun!

Annnndddd, this is how I felt this weekend! Will wasn't using his frozen teether, so I decided it would feel nice on the eyes....and it did!
