Mayfest, Pool, and more...

We had a crazy busy weekend. Saturday, we had a pancake breakfast at the church. Nick LOVES pancakes. I think he ate two entire plates.

Here's Harris sitting in the high chair. Chris's parenting moment of the week came when he put Harris in the chair but didn't strap him in. Halfway through breakfast, there went Harris sliding down through the chair. I caught him right before he hit the floor. Harris apparently loves him some pancakes too.

After breakfast, we headed down to the Newton square for Mayfest. Nick got to feed the camel. I panicked about the germs.

He slid down the GIANT slide.

When he got bored going forward, he began sliding backwards.

Harris just grinned and watched his big brother.

They had this really cool jumper that Nick tried out. Here he is getting strapped in.

Small jumps at first...

Look how high he is. My heart stopped for a few seconds.

We finally let Nick in the pool Saturday afternoon. He's been begging since we opened it last weekend.

This was Harris's first experience in the pool. I was a little scared he might not like the water as much as his brother did.

I was wrong. He is definitely a water baby!

Harris will be 8 months old on Monday. I can't believe it's already been that long. He is an amazing little boy who fills my heart with more and more love each day. He got his third tooth on Friday. This time on the top left. Apparently now that he has all these teeth, he's decided it's time to eat some real food. He devoured a chicken nugget and french fries on Friday night, had pancakes on Saturday morning, and Sunday was the topper. That child ate more pancakes, a whole container of yogurt, some blueberry muffin, and some hashbrowns. He's becoming Lauren Wade the human food consumer. Harris rarely cries and is always smiling and laughing. He gets estatic to see me when I pick him up from daycare and starts waving his arms like a band director. Life is good.

Sunday, we went to the fairgrounds for a tractor show. Nick was in amazement at all the tractors and is now begging his daddy for our big tractors. He and his Big Dan had to look at everything. The only downside was that he couldn't climb on any of them.

He did however, get to ride the Train Tractor which was pretty cool.

And so ends another adventureous week with the Cadwalladers. Say a little prayer for my school children this week as they take their End of Grade tests, and for Chris who smashed his toe taking down our old swing set. He's going to the doctor tomorrow so you know it's pretty serious.
