We got out Christopher's baby pool. Uncle Anthony joined in on the fun. I think Christopher finds the pool boring because all he can do right now is float. He likes to be on the move.
Swimming in the pool with Nana and Daddy. Mommy was in there too but Nana didn't do a very good job taking pictures so we had to switch. Christopher lasted maybe 15 minutes in the pool before wanting to get out. He does so much better at the beach where he can run around.
Getting ready to eat dinner at Blue Moon. Christopher had fish and chips for the first time.
Getting ready to relax in a chair after a long afternoon at the beach. I let him go without the rashguard and hat for a bit to try to help him get a little sun on his belly.
Thank you, Aunt Terry, for the Doritos!!
Uncle Anthony was sleeping so Christopher got out his corn popper to wake him up.
I am not sure why I brought 15 different complete outfits for him. I think he has only worn an outfit 3 times while we have been here- all to go out to dinner.
Doing squats- Now he grunts while he does them.
Rocco and I were cuddling on the couch.... until Christopher noticed.
PEPPERONI ROLLS!!! YUMMMMMM.
Thank you, Raquel. Christopher loved his!
Playing with Collin at the beach. He is holding a clump of sand for Christopher to have.
More Dorito eating.
When Christopher was bending over to pick up the cornhole bags... he noticed the clumps. He kept moving from spot to spot trying to pick them up while just seeing them crumble in his fingers.
Clump hunting... and I think a face plant.
He wanted to wear the goggles like Uncle Anthony.
This is from our first morning here. We had breakfast on the porch.
Christopher fell asleep on his walk with Granddaddy, so they put him in the pool to wake him up.
Christopher was crazy yesterday afternoon. We had gone shopping in the morning and after we came home, he was everywhere. He kept taking off my sandals and trying to put them back on.
We began packing to go home yesterday as well since it was a rainy day. I guess Christopher wants to ride in a suitcase. Maybe we won't hear him as much.
Christopher got his first skinned knee! He was running by the pool (a no-no) and he fell.
Dinner with family at Owens Restaurant! Christopher was doing okay being amused by the kids until the waitress put the tray in reaching distance. He grabbed it, Matt said no, and the tears came. :)
Not sure what he was amazed by, but most things get a WHOA.
At dinner.
Nana downloaded some baby games on the iPad. Christopher sits so still and watches. You should hear him imitate a lion. It's very scary.
When I brought Christopher up to go to dinner, Uncle Anthony was wearing almost the same outfit! I took 14 pictures... and this was the best one.
I feel like Christopher has grown up so much since summer began. I can't believe there are only 2 and a half weeks left!! He is doing so much more and has really been using his problem solving skills! Some of my favorites....
I love that when I say are you ready for a nap, he goes and stands next to the gate at the bottom of the stairs or if I ask him to get me something, he goes and picks it up and brings it to me. We had been using a bench to block off the bedroom upstairs and he just realized that he could climb through the bars to get to the other side. Now it's a baby jungle gym and he is quite amused. He brought Granddaddy his hat the other day, dad put it on and told him to put it back... and Christopher put it back right where he found it. And most importantly, his throw is getting better and better.
We have one more day here. Most of the packing is done thanks to a rainy day yesterday so we are getting ready to say goodbye to Anthony, go for a run, and then hitting the beach the rest of the day!
