Red, White and Blue Baby Boy

What a weekend filled with Fourth of July festivities.  Friday morning was his daycare Fourth of July parade, which equals all the kids from the daycare walking around the block, but this year due the weather the route was shortened and the bigger babies stayed behind. The little babies, Avery’s room, never go because it is just to difficult with babies that range from 6wks to 9 months, although his room wasn’t going I still dressed him in red, white and blue for the occasion. 

Red, White & Blue Baby Boy

Saturday we had the biggest plans of the weekend, we spent the day at a friends house on the lake.  Knowing that it could be a long day for Avery without any of his toys we packed some bigger toys up in the Jeep before heading out, we also threw in a pack and play for his nap, every time we go somewhere for the day it always amazes me how much longer it takes us to get out the door and how much stuff one little baby needs. Packing some toy bigger toys was worth it, it gave Avery a place to be without having to be held or in a car seat all day.

Playing in the Sun

Covered in sunscreen Avery spent the day on the deck in the shade playing with his toys, and loving every minute.  After playing for a while it was time to hit the pool, Avery dressed in his red, white and blue swim trunks, Avery went swimming for the second time in his life.  The sun was out and the water was warm and he had a great time, he even went under water.

Swimming with friends

 We played in the water until we were prune and then it was time to get out and dry off, and after a bottle it was time for a quick nap before it was into to a life jacket  and out on to the lake for a boat ride. 

Napping

The boat ride gave Avery another chance to take a nap but when we was awake he enjoyed looking around and didn’t seem to be the least bit bothered by the life jacket.

First Boat Ride!

 After the boat ride we decided to pack up and head home guessing that our little boy would be tired soon and would mostly likely be sleeping before we made it home, but he stayed awake the whole ride home and even stayed up to play once we got there, not falling asleep until 10:30. 


Sunday our plans were to have lunch with Jon’s Family for Avery’s Uncle J’s birthday. We ate while Avery napped, then once he was awake of course there were pictures to  be take and then it was time to play. Avery showed off some of his tricks and had a great time.

Monday we made plans to go to my parents for lunch and try out their new grill. After lunch Avery got into a swimming diaper and went out to play in the shade in a tub of water. 
And what a great time he had splashing in the water, getting me and grandma wet while doing so.

It was a long good weekend, I am guessing that Avery might spend some time sleeping today at daycare recovering from all his adventures, but your never know he is always full of surprises!
