Memorial Day and Bathtime

This week is a week full of firsts! We had a great memorial day this year at my parents house. We played in the pool with Vander and got to experience his very first swim! The water was quite cold and he didn't even make a peep! What a trooper! He actually was mainly focused on the antennas on his bumble bee floaty and didn't pay much attention to anything else.
Then he went on a "Golfball hunt" which is basically a Craig Grandbaby right of passage with Bop Bop (my dad). Basically each time a grandbaby gets big enough to sit on my dads shoulders without wobbling TOO much he takes them out to the golf course behind their house and they search for stray golfballs together. Every time one of my nieces or nephews got big enough for their big golfball search I always thought how excited I would be for when my own baby would get to do it. And YAY, here it is!!! Vander would only hold onto the golfballs for a very short period before he dropped them on the ground. He'll learn soon enough :)

 His first dunk.... we were waiting for a scream when he hit the cold water (He loves HOT water just like his mama)

 He swam with Joel practically the entire time because I'm a wuss and the water was cold!
 Ready for their big hunt to begin!
 Vander was a little confused when they were literally crawling down INTO a bush to get a ball
 His very first golfball- Of course... STRAIGHT to the mouth- Nice and clean too!
 He looked so cute and tiny out on Bop Bops shoulders
Holding one of the balls they found. Only seconds before he dropped it :)


THEN... Tonight, Vander finally graduated from his little infant/baby bath to his mom and dads nice BIG tub. He LOVED it and was just jibber jabbering the entire time.
 Look at that chunky little monkey! Measured him today and he weighed in at a whoppin 20 lbs!!! Thats the 85 percentile baby! :) This boy loves his food!
 He loves his squirter bath toys! He played with one single animal the entire time. Very easily entertained :)
 The Blue Whale is his very favorite
 My favorite part of his bathtime is his adorable little cellulite bubble butt
