Mr. Bear, Papa and Swimming

Monday, after the 4th we just hung out at the house playing scrabble, listening to music, enjoying the sun and getting some good conversation and laughs in. For the .
record I just want to say, I WON AT SCRABBLE thank you very much!

That afternoon the sun came out and when we were in the backyard a "Mr. Bear" popped up over the fence and started talking with Alyssa. It was so funny to watch her when she first saw him. Than she walked over there and started feeding him gold fish. It was so very cute. I'm sure if she knew it was really her Papa she would be even more infatuated with him than she already is, if that is even possible! It's very cute to watch the two of them together.

After enjoying the weather and having some left overs we headed over to the hotel and did a little swimming. Alyssa had a blast. She was having to much fun and getting pretty brave. We did have her life jacket on her though to make it a little easier and thought it would also help her be more secure. I don't think it worked quite as planned. She loved being in the water anyways and tonight at bath time she was asking to go swimming again. I think once Mariner's season settles down I'm going to get her signed up for lessons again at night so when she turns three she will be able to take them on her own.

Knox is doing awesome. He continues to change everyday and is just a lot of fun to be around. He is such an easy baby and can't believe he is almost 4 months. He is trying his hardest to role over. It's pretty funny because he gets up onto one side but hasn't pushed all the way over yet. I helped him out once and it kind of ticked him off and he pushed himself back over so Im leaving it to my independent little man. Im so excited for all these new stages but than I think am I really? I know with that is going to bring more frustrations.
