Grandparent time!

Last week, Caedmon got to have some great fun with his Grammy, then also his Gramma and Dude. Grammy came and visited for a few days during the week, so she and Caedmon really enjoyed playing with the new toys that she brought (he's taking a nap with his glo-worm as I type this), reading books together, and just having fun "visiting." She also brought him these cute little outfits - he looks so grown up, sitting up in the grass with his big-kid shorts! We're so glad she was able to come, and hope that next time Pappa can join her!


On Saturday we went to Garland for the day. Gramma has been busy making their home a comfortable, safe, and fun place for a grandchild! Caedmon tried out the new crib, sat in the high chair that his aunts and uncles also enjoyed, and read a really cute new farm book with his Gramma and Dude. The big event for the day, however, was taking him for his first swim in the pool!

At first he wasn't quite sure what to think - probably because it took some time to get accustomed to the temperature of the water. For a while either Daniel or Dude held him, but then he became comfortable with sitting on the first step while someone supported him. He liked to catch the boats and rubber ducks floating by from this spot.

After a little while, we put him in a floating baby seat. He really enjoyed patting the "turtle," and when I put my tube close enough, he also patted and rubbed it with his hands. It must have been an interesting texture, he really thought that was fun!

Finally, right before it was time to get out of the water, Gramma gave him the chance to "swim." She held on to him and helped him glide him through the water, and he held his head up, even kicking and waving his arms a little bit. He seemed to think that was pretty great!
