Samuel got to experience the beach for the first time. The weather was awful and the wind was blowing really hard which started to annoy him. At some point we just covered him with a blanket...so much for seeing the ocean!
Samuel got to experience a pool for the first time. We were lucky that our resort had a heated, indoor pool. Samuel was hesitant at first and then got the hang of it kicking and splashing his Mom and Dad!
Samuel got to experience riding the carousel for the first time. This is a small one on the Rehoboth boardwalk. It was hard to tell what he thought of it...no smiles but no crying either. I think he was fascinated by all of the lights.
Samuel is getting to be such a big boy. He loves to sit up and talk to his Mommy and he even laughs at me when I make noises at him. He is also hard to hold onto these days as he loves to kick his legs and flail his arms about. When he lays on his play mat, he kicks his feet so he scoots up the mat. Everyday he spends some time sitting in his bumbo seat and I am going to put together his exersaucer this week since I think he will love playing with all of those fun toys in a standing/sitting position. I can't believe how quickly he is growing.
Today, I got to spend some time out in the yard planting flowers as Luke watched Samuel for me. It was so nice to spend some time outside and get my hands dirty planting. I really love flowers but this year I wasn't sure how I was going to get any of it done with Samuel to care for. Thankfully my father-in-law came down to help me and we got so much done, what a help he was! The flower beds look wonderful and it should be a little more low maintenance for me for years to come. Now all we need is a baby pool and we're ready for summer!
