Westen loves the water! Bath time is his favorite time of day - and he has enough rolls and folds that milk and lint hide all over his body....so he usually needs a bath every day :) . This was bath time at Grandma Helen's house. We have such good grandmas!
We went swimming in a pool for the first time in August. Westen loved it!
Westen also loved the splash pad this year. There was one litte fountain that didn't spray too high and that is where he spent most of his time.
But his second favorite thing at the splash pad was the kids that were there. There was a cute little polygamist family there one day that were telling us about their 5 mommies :) . Westen loved them.
We also did a lot of water-centered camping this year. Our friends have a boat, so we went camping at one of their favorite places - Yuba Lake. It was our first time camping there and it was really fun.
Westen was mostly an observer of the kids on the beach. He loved to watch them building sand castles and burying each other in the sand.
But of course, his very favorite part was the water. He loves to splash with his hands and his feet.
We had a really fun time with our friends at Yuba!
This is our friend Kim (Westen's babysitter) on her boat with her family. I think Westen loved that comb so much because of all of the hairspray on it ;)
In October, we went to Sand Hollow with our friends. We are so glad that we have our camp trailer. It makes camping with a baby much easier!
At the beach, he played in a new pack 'n play that we bought at the store. Glad we did because he loved being close to everyone and the water, but not in the sand.
Westen's birth mom, Audrey came to play with us for a day too. We LOVE her so much and we always have a good time with her.
Lately Westen has really liked to play in things. He played inside a huggies box for 2 weeks. So, at Sand Hollow, we empited a basket that had his blankets and diapers in it and he sat in there eating an oreo while we made breakfast.
Our friends' boat trailer blew a tire on the way down...so we ended up renting wave runners and a side-by-side for the sand dunes. We really had a good time even though we didn't have the boat.
