It's Pool Time

It has really been heating up around here the past week. Summer I think officially starts the 2nd or 3rd week of June but it already feels like summer to me. Marc and I spent yesterday doing some yard work while Eli was napping and then brought him outside when he woke up. It didn't take long for us to realize it was too hot for him to be out.

Red cheeks were the indicator that this boy was playing too hard.

I let him cool down with a juice box while Marc broke open one of his birthday presents from Aunt Stacey.

I had to get a few shots with Eli in his froggy suit and sun cap. He didn't care too much for the hat. :) This swimsuit came from Stacey's fiance's mom last summer after Eli was born. It is too cute!

He had so much fun playing in his new pool yesterday afternoon. It is big enough for Marc and me as well and we enjoyed watching him get so excited. It was like the biggest bathtub he had ever seen. :) I think this pool is going to be Eli's favorite thing all summer. He can see it from our sliding back door and ever since we put it up he just stands there and points and "oohs".

Today we went and visited some friends who just had a new baby girl a few days ago. She was just the sweetest thing and we didn't hear a peep out of her the entire time we were there. It is hard to believe that in 20 weeks we will be doing the same thing. :)

Eli pointed at Gracie a lot and wanted to touch her but when he realized we weren't going to let him he quickly became busy doing other stuff. He loves these balls from his Mama Reenie and has figured out how to hold two with one hand so he can use his free hand to do other stuff. He is so active and is keeping us busy. :)

Hopefully, everyone enjoys a great Memorial Day tomorrow with friends and family. I am so thankful for all the freedom and security that is available to us in this country through the sacrifices of so many others. It is nice to have a day to reflect and celebrate that!
