Swimming, Swimming!!!

After the fever finally broke and his appetite came back Jonah was back to his happy, active self . But, then it was my turn. Yuck! I can't remember the last time I've been this sick. Thank goodness Grandma was able to come and spend a day last week with us to help me out! She brought over her "cure-all" chicken soup and played with Jonah so that I didn't get too close to him when it wasn't necessary. I'm so worried about getting him sick. Yesterday, after six days, I slowly started to feel better. Mommies have no time to be sick!!!

In between all this sickness, our dear friends Kristin and Jonathan come into town from Boston for a mini-vacation and of course to finally meet Jonah. They were staying at The Ritz Carlton (our favorite place) so Jonah and I took two days to spend with them. Some much needed fun in the sun! It was absolutely wonderful to see them and Jonah warmed up to both Kristin and Jonathan very quickly. He showed off how he eats, babbles, and smiles his wide 5 tooth grin...and then, we went swimming!!! Yay! Jonah absolutely loved the pool! It was just the right temperature and when we first got in, he starting smiling and laughing. It was great! I was so relieved that he liked it. We splashed around, bounced, kicked our feet, and blew bubbles in the water (at least mommy did). Jonah didn't even mind water getting on his face when he slapped his hands down on the surface and he loved playing with the water that was coming up from the spouts. Unfortunately, daddy couldn't join us since he started his new job this week but Mommy took lots of pictures to show him. We had a wonderful time and will be making good use out of the pool as the weather continues to warm up for sure!


Jonah is all ready for a day out in the sun! Check out the sandals! :) Jonah's cute bathing suit...My little surfer! "Watch out pool here I come!"
(Oh, and as you can see I started having some fun with that "picnik" website...so cool!)

Jonah loved playing with the water spout. What fun!!!Hanging out with Kristin and Mommy...
