Bath Time and the Balloon Race

Every baby loves bath time, but Owen takes it to a whole new level. He loves the splashing and swimming, just all of it! We are no longer using the baby tub any more. He just wanted to take nose dives out of it and you just cannot contain him - he wants to be free!! So has the whole tub to wander around in. He thinks it is the coolest thing. For his birthday some family and friends gave us bath toys. Oh my!! It is funny to watch him when we now say it is bath time. He shakes with excitement and begins trying to take his own clothes off. We also have a bath CD that plays silly bath songs. Owen amuses me by laughing when I sing along. I think I may enjoy the CD more - but who says bath time should only be fun for them? C.J. even likes one of the bath toys. It is a basketball net with little balls that also squirt water. C.J. shoots the balls - Owen laughs. C.J. squirts the water balls on him - Owen laughs. C.J. was a baby that loved bath time also. I think he is reliving his infant/toddler days now!! It is so much fun to watch both my babies have so much fun.

It is Derby week here in Louisville, meaning we have lots of fun activities going on. Saturday was the balloon race - well, they actually took off on Sunday due to winds. So before church we watched them take off from the Fairgrounds and then followed the heir balloon to Wesport Rd. This is one of my family's favorite traditions. Last year we missed it because I was in the hospital having Owen. But this year he got to see it. He really didn't know what to think. These balloons were a lot bigger than the ones from his party. You have to pardon how beautiful we look. The balloons took off at 6:54 am (avoiding the higher winds of sunrise). We literally took showers and walked out the door.
