Picnic at the Park

Today was a beautiful day so we had lunch at the local park. The sun was filtered but still nice and warm; which was perfect.

Dillon didn't want to keep his hat on; it was much better suited for eating.

Dillon isn't crawling yet (although it's probably only a matter of days), but he still can get around pretty quickly. Once he discovered the grass that was all he wanted to look at (and eat). Luckily I don't think any blades made into his mouth but a little patch did get mowed courtesy of Dillon.

Today was Dillon's 9 month birthday. He goes in for his 9 month check up in week and a half then we'll know for sure just how strong and healthy he really is. But if guessing he's at least 23 pounds. (As you can see he's not as smiley as usual, all he wanted to do was fall forward and look over the end of the chair....not a good plan in a chair that rocks!)

Gram was over for the week and we took her to swimming lessons. Good timing too because it was time for both Dillon and mom to go under water (so Gram took pictures)!! If you know Joelle at all you know that she rarely goes under water, in fact she can't remember the last time she did. All went well and only mom swallowed a bit of water....out of practice apparently. (we are in the center of the picture right behind the lady's head.)
