23 Weeks!

Well here we are again.  Another week older!  23 weeks old and growing like a weed :o)  This week was met with some new firsts!  G went swimming for the first time!  The neighborhood across the street has a pool, so we went with friends who live in that subdivision.  He really enjoyed it!  I thought it might scare him at first, or that the water temp would upset him, but he did well with everything.  He was pretty amazed looking at everything and watching the kids who were playing in the water. 

We also now have a Jumperoo for him to play in.  Playtime with the toys we had wasn't wearing him out enough.  He would be tired and ready for a nap, but wouldn't stay asleep very long.  I started looking for used Jumperoos, because brand new they're CRAZY expensive, and no longer than they are used, it's kind of crazy to spend that much money.  Thankfully when I mentioned looking for one to my friend Angie, she offered to let us borrow the one they have for their daughter.   She's too big for it now, so we went to get it on Wednesday.  He played in it several times today and it definitely did the job!  After playing in it the first time, he napped for 2 1/2 solid hours without making a single peep!  Usually naps consist of anywhere from 1-3 wake ups in a 2 1/2-3 hour period.  He's easily soothed back to sleep, but doesn't usually sleep all the way through without waking up at least once.  Today he was so worn out that he didn't move a muscle the whole nap. 

The weather has been so nice lately that over the weekend I took G's highchair out onto the deck and he dined al fresco.  He was really enjoying looking at everything outside while scarfing down his sweet potatoes! 
Aunt Cindy is coming to visit this weekend, so I'm sure there will be lots of good pictures taken!  I don't have too much more to report this week.  Since I'm actually posting this on time there's less to write about :o)  Here are the pictures of his new adventures from this week!

Such a happy little guy!
