Aunt Carol...Let's Go Fishing!

For Roo's birthday, Aunt Carol and the Bloob's got Roo a great fishing vest that holds all sorts of goodies, a new fishing rod and a tackle box. Roo was super excited when he got to open his presents and figured out as soon as we told him what the vest was what the other two portions of the gift were. He loved having a multi-part gift!

He opened his gifts late enough in the evening that it was past fishing time, but we promised to take him over the weekend.

When the weekend came along, we took the boys in the late afternoon once it got a bit cooler out. We picked up worms at the gas station and then headed over to the lake in the neighborhood.

Bug was also really excited to fish so we brought one of Daddy's big fishing poles with us as well.

Roo was so excited that he asked us if we had caught him a fish yet. His attention span for fishing consisted of running in and out of the gazebo we were fishing from and onto the beach and into the water and back and forth and so on. Bug had a bit more patience but we still weren't catching anything. He did have a lot of fun feeding the ducks though!

As it was nearning time to go home and have dinner, we really didn't want to leave without catching a fish. So we decided to cheat and fish off the part of the gazebo that is close to the beach, there are always a ton of fish swimming around in there.

It only took a few minutes and Bug caught a tiny little Bluegill. A few minutes later Roo caught a larger Bluegill.

The boys had a ton of fun fishing and I'm sure we'll return many evenings for some nice relaxing fun!

First Fish

Last week dada took Roo fishing for the first time.  During the day we went to town and got Roo and Dada new fishing poles.  Roo caught not one but two fish.  He had such a blast and was so excited to tell Grandpa all about his fish when he saw him the next day.  

Sillines!

Roo is such a funny little guy. He was chasing Baxter around the house the other night and when he finally got tired he said 'and fall' and fell to the ground. Falling and boo boos are his big thing now. He gets very excited when someone shows him a boo boo. The other night he said 'dada need a boo boo?' Then proceeded to squeeze his cheeks as hard as possible!Roo has dropped his afternoon nap on weekends. He's actually much less grumpy without it and it frees up the entire day to do things; it's nice! However, he still gets a little tired and needs a break now and then. On this day he chose Love Bug's swing as his resting location. And as we all recall, Roo was very addicted to the swing when he was an infant.....we didn't let him stay in it for long, would hate to have to break that habit again!

Love Bug rolled from back to tummy yesterday for the first time. We're very excited for him! He is such a happy little guy and loves playing on the floor. Mommy caught him trying to go fishing for his toy the other day! He was trying so hard to catch it in his mouth!The boys birthday presents came early this year. Mommy had a coupon and we wanted to get the boys a playset. Roo loves to slide so we thought it was time to get him his very own big boy slide. So Dada spent the entire weekend putting together the playset and it looks great. The slide is so much fun, mommy can't wait for it to warm up so she can go on it more. Roo loves it and actually closes his eyes when he starts to go down. This should make for a fun filled summer! Now all we need is the sun and some warm weather!
