Splish, splash and other news

Yesterday we took Luke to the neighborhood pool for the first time! He looks ridiculously cute in his swimsuit, but we forgot the camera, so we'll post pictures of the next trip I promise! We took him into the shallow end of the big pool, and when his little toes hit that water his little lower lip came out and he just screamed..... but, it didn't take long for him to warm up and start enjoying it! Carl and I both swam with him and got him used to the water. He started kicking like crazy to work off all those fruits and veggies he's been eating! Overall it went really well! And on another note, two thumbs up to Huggies Little Swimmers diapers! They work great and they don't swell up with water like a regular diaper!

We decided to take Luke swimming yesterday, because today he is going to his first local playgroup event! We are going to meet up with 20 other local moms and babies at a neighborhood pool for some fun in the sun! Luke is very excited, although I'm feeling la bit like the new kid on the first day of school! We'll see how it goes!

I have also recently decided to try my hand at homemade baby food this week! I was a little intimidated by it at first, but it is actually really easy to make, and I like giving Luke fresh food! So far we have tried sweet potatoes and mangoes, and tonight we're trying avocados! I have also been making his oatmeal and rice cereal, but so far that isn't going over quite as well. We'll see if we keep up with that one. We may just stick with fruits and veggies!

Swimming pictures to come soon!
