Cayson's First Independence Day!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day! We had a fun couple of days celebrating the Fourth of July. Tuesday afternoon, Cayson and I went to Carnegie to visit Dusty's family that was in town for the holiday. We also celebrated our nieces', Maggie & Korbyn's, birthdays and Louise's birthday. Cayson got to be cuddled and spoiled by everyone. Here is Cayson with his big cousin, Maggie and being loved on by Papa.

I also swam with the kiddos while Nana & Papa watched Cayson. Here the kids are all waiting the okay to jump in.

Yesterday, the 4th, we spent a good part of the day at my parents'. We went over to swim early in the afternoon. Rebecca, Mom, & I soaked up the sun... it was wonderful after all of the rain and dreariness we've had. Cayson hung out with us some. He got to dip his feet in the pool - he was less than thrilled at first, but he got used to it. I love his face as I was putting him in. Mom carried him around in the pool some and he seemed to like it. He loves to be outside.

I wanted to go watch the fireworks at the park and take Cayson, but I wasn't sure how he would react and he was really sleepy. I ended up getting him to sleep and then going out to the park and watching the show from my car. Cayson slept right through everything. Dusty had to work both Tuesday & Wednesday evenings unfortunately.

Cayson hit a milestone last night! I'm so proud of him... he went 8.5 hours between feedings! I was still up several times sticking his pacifier in, but at least I didn't have to feed him. I actually woke him up at 7:30 this morning to feed because I was uncomfortable. Hopefully, he does it again tonight! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. I am not sure what we are going to do... Dusty is off work both at the police department and the hardware store, so maybe we will do something fun.
