Gone Boatin'

Happy Summer to everyone!

It actually arrived last weekend for me. I had the weekend off with no plans! The weather was great (especially considering last weekend I wore a turtleneck and sweater to work) I ended up having actual FUN! Like real fun, just like I was a kid again. I hardly remember what it is like.

One great fun activity was going on my sister Shannon's boat. Now I don't have fluorescent white legs anymore! Yippee! Harrison did really well on his first boating trip. He is such a trooper.

Here are some highlights...

My sister Shannon and Harrison
The Fam

That's us!

Shannon had the great idea to bring this mesh fruit feeder thingy to put ice cubes in to keep H cool. He could hold onto it and suck on the ice. It worked great! Good job Shannon! Nobody got burned, which is amazing. It was a great day!

Also, Harrison has officially cut his first tooth! He has been teething for a while but one teeth has finally broken through. I used to know someone who's teeth never grew in. Ever. She had to have fake teeth put in cuz she never grew her own. It is weird things like that I worry about at times. I never worried about SIDS or dog bites or infection, but not growing teeth worried me. This is why I drive Derek crazy.

You can tell the tooth hurts his sometimes. We did give him some Tylenol the other night because he was having a hard time sleeping. It was the first time we gave him any medicine so I had to go check on him afterwards to make sure he was OK ;-). He was just fine, obviously, and we haven't had to give him any since. How did we end up with such a great kid?

Shannon said our baby is the "pro having a baby" kind-the kind that makes people want to have a baby. Then there are the "birth control babies". We rolled the dice and got lucky I guess! It is about time, D and I have certainly had our bad hands dealt to us.

Wait. Dice. Bad hands. Oh crap, now I am mixing metaphors...
