Water Babies

Rex and Sean jumped straight into summer last week as we made our first trip of the season to the pool, and we visited Grandma Sutton and made our first trip to the community beach at her house. Both boys LOVE the water. Should make for a fun summer. Rex had a blast playing in the sand, and Sean had fun watching. His first experience with the sand consisted of having a sweaty head and laying his head down in the sand. You can just imagine what that was like! He took it suprisingly well considering he even had sand in his ears. He was pretty much just a spectator from that point on. We also had another landmark first, but this one was indoors....Sean has learned that he can sit and stand up in his crib. He's been pulling up on everything in sight for about a few weeks now, but he just last week decided to entertain himself this way in his crib. (Until this point, when he woke up, he would simply lay there and cry until someone came to save him.) Needless to say, after a frustrating half hour and a few curse words(hopefully Rex was out of earshot), I was able to lower the crib mattress so he won't escape/fall out of his crib. I'm silly with an allen wrench. This weekend we are heading back to Virginia to "the Farm." It's family cleaning weekend, so we get to visit with Michael's aunts and cousins and their children, and do a little spring cleaning as well. It's always a fun time, and Rex is going to love running around with his cousins!
