A big week

So it's been a big week for us....

Last Sunday was one of those amazing winter days- not the snow kind, but the kind when it's 65 degrees and you get a little Spring Fever. We took a long walk through the park, played on the deck...and went to the pool. First the deck....



We added the deck last Spring and need to add benches...that's another post, but for last Sunday he was loving it! We just spread out a blanket, hr crawled, he jumped, he basically just thought " I wish it was spring already." I think we're going to put in a sandbox for the summer- any ideas on building one????

The pool! WDP loves the bathtub and has started trying to lat back in the tub, so we thought we'd try the pool. I was so nervous about being all poochy and post-baby, but thought "Who's going to be at the rec center pool on Superbowl Sunday?" Well, right when we walk in I hear "Hey Mrs. Perry"- Ugh! A student....make that a male student was the lifeguard. I think he was kind of embarrassed too....After quickly escaping into the pool, William was a little unsure about it, he had the death grip for about 5 minutes, but quickly warmed up to the idea....
Ahhhhh, what's this????
Hey, this is kind of fun....

I'm looking forward to going back and getting him more accustomed to the water before the summer gets here. I just need to check the lifeguard schedule!

Our little baby is full on crawling- not all the time, but he understands when I'm in his room and he's in the den he can move to the bedroom too- it's more than adorable!


And our other big news is that he's pulling up on anything and everything- whoa- slow down buddy- you're getting too big too fast! We're also working on sleeping. We started Sunday and while it was not fun, the fact that he completely slept through the night last night- no diaper change, no whimper, just sweet sleep- Sunday night was worth it! So to all of you who encouraged it...Thank you!

Check out my blog from last spring and the sandbox. Worth built BR a beautiful one! We can't wait to be back there this year. So happy he slept through the night. We knew he could do it just needed some encouragement. He is on the go time to baby proof!
