Time is passing too quickly! This weekend you turned 30 weeks, and tomorrow you'll be seven months old! With the passing of time, there are so many stories left untold; little things that I might not remember to tell you when you're older - like how you love playing peek-a-boo, that we heard your laugh for the first time on Father's Day, or that you had the diaper blowout of the century on our first road trip to Las Vegas.
To make sure that I remember all of those little things, I'm going to try to write you each weekend and tell you something from the week. I hope someday that you treasure the stories of your babyhood, and realize just how very much you are loved...especially by mom and dad!
This weekend my car was in the shop. We needed to kill some time before picking it up. In one of our epic decision making sessions, your dad and I went back and forth for quite some time, "What do you want to do?" "I don't know; what do you want to do?" Well it was I - your MOTHER - who came up with the idea to visit the duck pond in Temecula. I pass it everyday on my way to work, and it always looks so serene.
We started you in the stroller, but took you out rather quickly to give you a better view of the ducks. There were little baby ducks, big ducks, old ducks, and turtles sun bathing on rocks! We started doing laps around the pond, talking and singing to you. You know, your dad comes up with the BEST songs, substituting your name into the lyrics. I hope you find this funny when you're older. It always cracks me up!
You loved smiling and watching the ducks, water, trees blowing in the breeze, and passing cars. You just love being outside. We set you down on the grass and you rubbed your little feet all over the grass blades, trying to see if you liked or disliked the sensation. We tried to get you to look up for some pictures, but you were having none of it! Dad put on his Fallbrook Fire Station hat and that made you smile! But the best of all was you trying to lift up your shirt. Dad kept telling you that it wasn't a nude beach! Our favorite part of the outing was when Dad was taking a video of you, where mom got attacked by a bee, jumped up, and you fell over trying to take your shirt off!
Can't wait to see what happens next week!
\Love,
Mama
I loved when she feel over. I was crying I was laughing so hard!
