Fun at the Lake

My 1st swim with my Nee Nee (Aunt Whitney)

I was kicking like a little fish!

Worn out!

We are so glad summer is here, and we finally had a weekend with NO rain! We have spent the last couple weekends in Hot Springs at Daddy D and Gigi's house. Beau has been on his first boat ride and taken his first dip in the lake. He likes the boat! Swimming was fun, too. The water was a little cool at first, but once he got used to it he started kicking his feet like a little fish. I think we have a water baby for sure. Of course, it's not like he had any choice in this family!

Beau is 8 1/2 months old now. He is such a busy little bee...always, and I mean ALWAYS on the move. He still isn't officially crawling, but he can get to whatever he wants pretty well. He scoots around on his bottom or pushes backwards on his belly. As much as he likes to stand and walk with help, he may just skip crawling!

He has 4 teeth - the middle bottom two and top two. Getting those top teeth is really changing how he looks. We had some relief from teething for a couple weeks, but the runny nose and nighttime fussiness is back, so we think another tooth is on its way. He's slimming up a bit. I'm not sure exactly what he weighs now, but I'm guessing about 22 lbs.

Our life with Beau is an adventure and so much fun!
