What a fun week I got to spend with my little boy! Since we were both feeling pretty lousy last weekend and the beginning of the week, I tried to end the week with some fun times!
Thursday...
We set up our umbrella and the baby pool in our back yard. Since the summers in Florida are ridiculously hot, playing in water is about the only thing to do outside without suffering from heat stroke! But I wanted to do something even better, so I made finger paint! I found the recipe on this website and put the paint into a muffin tin! I had a big roll of white paper so I tore off a piece and let Cayden go to town (outside of course!) It was so much fun to watch him play in the paint. Since he is only 9 months, he obviously didn't care about getting the paint on the paper, as he did on himself but it was fun regardless!
Once he was done (and the grass, Cayden and myself were all shades) into the pool we went. We spent 45 minutes splashing and playing having so much fun in the summer sun.

Friday...
Friday was a great day! Jeff got to come with us to swim lessons and Cayden officially mastered his float! It was really great having Jeff there while Cayden hit that milestone. We were both super proud parents that morning, and of course we had to celebrate with a trip to Target. We bought Cayden a fun, new toy. I think we were more excited about it than he was! That afternoon Jeff had to go to work so Cayden and I met his friend Shayla and her new baby sister Braelyn at Mimi and Pops house to swim! Shayla and Cayden spend the afternoon floating and splashing together. It was a lot of fun spending the afternoon with friends. Cayden was wore out, so we went home for a nap! Later that evening we went back to visit Mimi and Pops! Cayden had a blast playing with Mollie, their doggie. We stayed and played all night! Cayden didn't go to bed until 10:30! But of course he didn't forget to wake up at 6:30 on Saturday morning!

Saturday...
This morning Cayden and I had time together while daddy slept in. Cayden played with his barnyard magnets on the refrigerator while I made eggs and whole-wheat banana pancakes. We sat and ate, and "talked" and just enjoyed our morning in our PJ's! I love times like that. They are simple, and sweet. Although I love running around and doing fun things, morning times are some of my favorite times with Cayden. It feels so carefree. He is so happy and just starts my day out with a smile.
I really do love my sweet boy. He is growing up so fast and getting such a funny personality. I feel so blessed that I get to spend everyday with him, and I get to enjoy every morning being giggly and carefree.
