The Bakers Babblings: Week 29

We've adjusted to being back home and had a fabulous three day weekend! I'm getting spoiled by having Josh around all the time and love the extra time with him. This week we started taking big boy baths in the big tub and Mason loves it. He's fascinated with the water spout and loves splashing and playing with his toys. I must admit, I'm a little sad that we aren't using the baby bath anymore. It was a lot easier to stand in front of the sink instead of bending over the tub, but I am learning to adjust! We had our last swim lesson this week and I have a feeling Mason is not sad about it! He did get better at the end, but was still not a big fan. Its so funny how he loves the pool, just not during lessons. Thursday and Friday night we went out to dinner with friends and on Saturday we had a cookout at the Collins house before going to the fireworks in our neighborhood. Our neighborhood had a fantastic display and a super fun band. Everyone brought blankets and coolers and just hung out on the hill, listened to good music, and enjoyed a great evening! I was a little worried how Mason would react to the fireworks (just because of the noise) but he loved them. It wasn't too loud and we all know how he loves anything that lights up! We really missed being with our family this weekend but realized how lucky we are to have met such good friends here. We have so much fun with all of them and they make it so much easier to be so far away from home!
