Swimming at Bluebird Pool

Finally remembered to take my camera to one of the last toddler/preschool swimming events of the summer. This is at Bluebird Park’s splash pad- lots of fountains and a wading pool at one end. The kids had a blast and we were joined by several friends that day. Taylor had fun trying to catch the water!

Taylor is 5 Months Old

To my little Fuzzy Wuzzy Was a Bear,

Oh I love you more each day. I think you are the cutest baby boy in the entire world. Your hair is starting to come in thicker (and it’s getting a lot lighter- you might be a blondie after all!) I love to run my hands through your fuzz, and kiss your sweet little head. You still sleep with Mommy every night. I am no longer stressed out about when I will get you out of my bed. I am just accepting it and enjoying it at this point. You will be all grown up soon enough, and I will miss these days. I love the way you stretch out next to me and make your little piglet sounds while you eat. Sometimes you dig your toes into my thigh though and that’s not my favorite. Right now you are laying on the boppy eating and clutching your little hands together. It looks like you are praying.

Speaking of hands- you are getting better at using them. You still can’t transfer objects from one hand to the other, but you can pick up toys more easily and of course you pop them right in your mouth. We have to be so careful with all the little pieces to Bailey’s toys! You also just started rolling from back to front three days ago. Then you get stuck on your tummy and do the frantic “swimming” on the floor until someone rescues you. You still can’t figure out how to flip back over. You are starting to sit up though, if we lean you forward on your hands for balance. You also enjoy your exersaucer for a little longer now. We just borrowed the Bumbo from Kelli but so far you are not a fan. I have a feeling you will like it better once we start feeding you in it!

A few of your 3-6 month outfits just fit now. You were small for so long and now you are growing like crazy it seems. You have gotten chubby and I love squeezing your legs. This is the only time in your life when it will be cute to have fat feet, so enjoy it. They are adorable! You are just over 15 pounds, so you’ve gained a little over a pound within the past month.

You also had your dedication ceremony at our church on your five month birthday, but that will get its own post. Just know that so many people love you and are praying for you and looking out for you. You are a very loved little boy. I can’t believe next time I write to you, you will be a half a year old.

xoxo

Mommy
