Water Babies

Big day for Declan!



Today Mommy and Daddy invited Daniella and her little girl Chelsey and Hayley and her little man Owen over for a visit out by the pool.  Daniella and I dressed our wee ones in their bathing suits and sun hats for a little water adventure.  We started by just dipping their little feet in the water to see how they react to the temperature.  Everything was a-ok so we proceeded to move a little further into the shallow water and dip them in halfway, again they were very agreeable.  I even twirled Declan around in the water and floated him a bit on his back.  He gave me a little frowny face just once for a second but otherwise he was very content.  After a little while he even started to fall asleep so I guess there isn't any fear of the water just yet.  Now since he was getting sleepy we jumped out of the water and wrapped Declan in his little towel, quick change back into dry clothes and he was ready for a nice midday nap.



After naps Owen arrived and all three little ones were able to hang out together.  Side by side on a blanket there were no big cries or Baby freak outs.  Turned out to be a very nice baby playdate for all three.

After the visits were over little Declan took a short nap while Mommy and Daddy cleaned up and set up Declans play area inside.  To my delight little Declan finally laughed for ME!!  After his nap and a bottle we were playing together on the floor and finally I was able to not only make him laugh but he fully giggled on for a couple minutes.  It was amazing.

Then as the night progressed the fresh air of the day took its toll and Declan and Mommy spent the last two hours before he went to bed cuddling.  One of my favourite days yet.
