Random bath cuteness

Nothing monumental today, just a super cute baby taking a bath:



SP is now sitting up on the big boy side of tub instead of laying down on the baby side. He doesn't want anything to do with laying down in the bath, he just wants to splash and play with the bubbles. Sigh, how quickly they grow!

Sleepy Times w/Daddy

This is what I found at 7:30am when I noticed Dan had not come back to bed after checking on the Sean Patrick around 5am. SP had woken up and was a little upset so Dan went to check on him. It looks like SP rocked Daddy to sleep! So cute.

Spinach (Popeye Puree)

Here's what Sean Patrick thinks of spinach:



The kid LOVES it!



Here's a video of his first few bites:

Brunch, Biscuits and Bandanas

We went to brunch with Auntie Cat this morning at one our favorite neighborhood restaurants (Dish in La Canada), it was Sean Patrick's first meal "out."

While we waited for Auntie Cat to arrive, SP helped Daddy make his breakfast selection:

And then he played for a while...we got several patrons visit our table to let us know how cute SP is (duh!):

Time for baby to eat...he had Mommy's homemade pear puree and organic baby oatmeal - he loved it and finished all of it.

Playing around some more before we left:

When we got home, Daddy thought it would be funny to wrap a bandana around his head to go with SP's Run DMC t-shirt:

This was followed by SP showing off his *almost" crawling skills:

Snack time! Mmm...teething biscuit, SP really liked it:

Pool Party, Part I

Sean Patrick attended his first pool party today and he had a blast! It was a going-away-bbq for the Hain Family (Sam, Tia and Max) as they are moving to Northern California hosted by host & hostess w/the mostess: Sherry & Matt. Sherry & Matt have an amazing fresh water pool in their backyard in Burbank that SP was lucky enough to try as his first dip.

SP & I had ventured to Target the day before to try to find some sort of pool float for him. We succeeded with a cool float that came with a sun canopy...ooohhh, fancy pants!

We headed over to the party with our potluck brownies and pool float in hand. SP was already in his swim gear with sunscreen applied, ready to go. Daddy and SP were the first ones in the pool not long after we arrived. Dan started SP slowly, just sitting and hanging out first:

Then Uncle Shawn helped get SP into his floating contraption:

Annnnd, he's in! Time to goof off with Daddy while Daddy's frosty beverage also floats around the pool for easy access. Note: we had to use the water-friendly Winnie-the-Pooh to support SPs back...the opening to the float was a little big but with Pooh there, it was perfect.

He likes it! He likes it!

Oh, but he was playing it cool when cutie Maddy got in the pool:

And it worked, she came right over...

She liked his ride so SP let her take it for a spin:

While Maddy was in his float, SP splashed around:

We tried to get a group shot w/SP, Maddy and Max but this is the best we could do:

Time to dry off and get some kisses from Mommy:

After swimming, SP had a bottle but was not tired so he played a bit. Oh no, not a drum stick!

SP borrows Maddy's shades and shows her his drum skills:

Some video of the fresh-water-pool fun:

They ended the pool fun with some splashing around:

Cutest. Kid. Ever.

Sean Patrick loves his shape sorter toy. He especially loves to dump all the shapes out of the tub. He hasn't figured out how to get the shapes through the sorter yet but it doesn't stop his fun.



He also loves his rings, here is SP showing his favorite ring (it's also a rattle).

Here's SP's favorite toy right now...his Mickey Mouse rattle. It goes everywhere with us and gets sanitizied nearly every night.

Getting friendly with the cat...well, he actually just wants to hit the cat. We're working on "gentle..."

Both the dog and SP are skeptical about each other.
