A Week of Firsts

What a crazy week!! Summer has finally arrived; it's been a long time coming and we are so excited for the heat. So in light of the hotter weather, we were able to take Jaxon out and introduce him to our active summer life. He got to do many things for the first time... we took him to the beach and he got to see the Lake and feel the sand.

And then at home he was able to play outside in his little kiddy pool.

He also got to go to his first concerts at Summerfest in Milwaukee; Sunday night he went to hear Blues Traveler and then Wednesday night he went to see Los Lonely Boys. I was a little leery about taking him with all the loud music and crazy people, but we put cotton in his ears and I carried him close to me in the Maya wrap (there was only one incident where a weird drunk guy wanted to touch the baby, I think I freaked the guy out more than he did me:)) Anyway, Jax did really well and ended up sleeping through both concerts. I'm not for sure how he did it. Tonight was another first, we took him with us to see the area Fireworks display. He was pretty captivated by the flashing colors and the loud booms. And then to end the week, tomorrow will be his first 4th of July. We are planning on taking him to the HUGE 4th of July parade and then perhaps to see more fireworks at the Lake. It's been a fun and crazy week and needless to say Jaxon slept through the night all week!
