Bo swims in his crab foatie in Grandma and Grandpa’s pool. He LOVED the water!!We headed up to Mike’s parents on Friday morning. For the most part, Bo handles traveling really well. Considering we always seem to be going somewhere on the weekends it’s no wonder that he is pretty well adjusted. He does fine in the car, eats out well, and is great when we are out running errands. He is generally a happy baby. The Gods have blessed me.
Unfortunately though, Bo did have some sleep issues this weekend. He went down for the night fine but then the phone rang about 8:30 and there was a phone in his room. Apparently this disturbed him quite a bit because he was inconsolable. We ended up getting him back up (which I never do!) and then he finally went down at 10:30. Ugh! He was up early on Saturday — about 6 and then went down fine again Saturday night but was up from 10:30-12. Last night he slept 13 hours in his own bed. Unfortunately, I think we have a little guy who prefers his own crib… ugh! That is going make our constant motion a lot more difficult!
On a positive note, he showed off his amazing crawling skills and ate like a champ. I really can’t believe the amount of food this little guy can ingest…
The highlight of the weekend was Saturday evening when Mike’s Mom’s family gathered for a poolside picnic. Bo splashed in the water and even kicked himself around in his inflatable crab. He was passed to various family members and seemed happy to be held by anyone! He was very intrigued by Uncle Dan’s mustache!
Mike’s Grandpa, Mike’s two uncles, Mike and Bo all pose for a picture poolside – 4 generations of Anderson Men. It was fun having the family together for a poolside picnic.
Mike, Bo and Jamie (me) enjoyed time in the pool. (I know this isn’t the best picture of me but I just love Bo’s expression!)
After the picnic (and Bo was in bed) we all gathered in the basement to watch slides of Mike’s mom and her brothers growing up while we enjoyed a trio of peach desserts!
We capped off the weekend yesterday with the long drive home and working our tails off so that everything was under control at our house (meaning laundry, unpacking, dishes, etc.) because today is the official return to work with my first two online classes and it’s my mom’s birthday so we will be having a birthday celebration this evening. Luckily for me, Mom wanted to watch Bo for a few hours (please keep your fingers crossed that her back holds out!) while I work. Which means my self-imposed lunch break is over and it’s back to work… Ugh.
