The Rota Family: 8/9/09

Friday, August 14, 2009

We took Lauer in the pool for the very first time. He wasn't too sure at first but got used to it really quick. He stayed in with Julie and I for over 1/2 an hour and did he ever sleep well! He went to bed at 8pm and still wasn't up when I left for work 12 hours later. We're going swimming every night now!!! His cousin Dalton is a pro at swimming so Lauer needs to catch up if they are going to go to the olympics together in 2028! (see Val's Blog) All Mommies dream big for their boys! Maybe Felicia's Bobby can join them! We just need one more boy and we've got ourselves a cousin relay team!

All pooled out

Check out the cute little red speedo we had on him!

In the pool with Mom

1st time in the pool and it wasn't a disaster. He was
iffy at first but then stayed in with me over 1/2 an hour
just kicking and relaxing.

Jules and Lowie

"Auntie" Julie came over to swim and
see Lauer go in the pool for the first time.

If it's on the floor...it's mine!

Toys all over.....

But the blanket is what goes in his mouth!

If only he was this happy in his bed!

In th big bed

I was trying to fold some laundry so I put Lauer
in our bed to keep him occupied until I was done.
He thought he was hot stuff!

Ate so much he nearly split his pants

Think of the old "Bust a move" song lyrics
"Ate so much I nearly split my pants"
We got done feeding Lauer his cereal and
when we took the highchair tray off this is
what we found. His top button popped open
and his zipper started undoing! Don't tell
me I need to put my 5 1/2 month old in 12
month shorts already!!!! At least he looks
happy and full!!
