Marine Science Center

Kate and I took the kids to the Marine Science Center at Ponce Inlet last week. It was a neat little place, they rehabilitate turtles and sea birds there. We arrived just in time to meet "Otis", a little screech owl that had been taken from his nest as a baby and raised as a pet. Because of that, he never learned how to screech! The kids all had their picture taken with him, and were able to ask lots of questions to his handlers. The Sea Bird Sanctuary was very cool. They had several bald eagles, falcons, pelicans, and owls. The facility is not big, but perfect for a couple of hours of educational fun! Afterwards, we stopped at the park and played, then went home and grilled dinner and swam. It was Gage's first time in the pool, I think he liked it!

not where I put him

Well, it is beginning! No more put the baby down and come back and he is still where I put him! This evening, a little while after Kevin and I put Gage in his crib, Kevin went in to check on him and this is what we saw:

You can see the sleep positioner below him...that's where he started!
Guess it is time to start babyproofing!

Just too cute

Gage's first time playing in his activity center!

Big Boy

New thing this week...he no longer wants to lay down, he wants to be sitting up so he can see everything. So, no more baths in his little sling, he gets to be in the "big boy" bathtub now! This is going wayyyyy to fast!

2 Month Update

Wow! Can't believe Gage is over 2 months already! He was 11 pounds 14 ounces, 23 inches long last Tuesday at his doctor visit. He is healthy and happy, he only cried for a minute after his shots (yes Mommy and Daddy cried longer than he did!). We have had a busy summer, lots of trips and visits from family. I'm enjoying staying home with him immensely, never imagined it would be this much fun! Gage is really starting to explore his surroundings, and is starting to play with his toys. So H
funny to hear him laugh and "talk" to them.
