It's hard to believe Barrett turned five months old yesterday. A part of me feels like he was a newborn last week and another part of me feels like he acts twice his age.
He's just the sweetest, best, little guy. He loves to sit upright in his Bumbo and to move around in his walker. Last weekend he took his first dip in the pool. He was a little uneasy at first and then really liked the refreshing water on his little legs and belly.
His hair is starting to come in and it's blond and straight. It reminds me a lot of Landry's at this age so we'll see if he gets wavy curls down the road.
Landry is talking more and more. She's also dancing just about anytime she hears music. It's the cutest thing! She started potty training about two weeks ago. She's been doing great but far from being out of diapers.
Summer has had us very social lately. Last weekend we had a Mexican fiesta themed dinner party. Landry helped me pick flowers for the table centerpieces and cook our taco feast. She loves to be helpful in the garden and kitchen.
The next night Jon and David hosted us for dinner along with Paula and Todd. It was very nice to have a lovely adults night out!
Michael and I have made an effort to have date nights mid-week since our weekends are starting to fill up with birthday parties and kiddo functions. This week we had a lovely dinner and then holed up at the Mansion for drinks.
Yesterday was Leila's 2nd birthday pool party. It's so sweet to watch the kids all interact and play around. It's far from our former Saturday routine (lazy lunches, happy hours, poolside not worrying about a toddler falling in), but so fun in it's own right.
Today we celebrated Michael with brunch at one of his favorite restaurants. We soaked up some sun afterwards in the pool before having drinks with friends in the cabana. It was the perfect, low key day. Landry and Barrett are so lucky to call him Dad.
And to my dad -- and granddads and father-in-law -- I'm so lucky to have all of you in my life and love y'all very much.
Happy Father's Day!
