Home sweet home

We spent the day close to home (since we've finally realized that Jayden could care less where we take him, as long as we let him walk and explore). Jayden spent the morning with Daddy (while Mommy slept in, took a long shower, and did some laundry). Jayden hasn't taken a 2nd nap in about a week, so we decided to try and push his 1st nap back a little later in hopes that he would take a longer nap. We went to the park around 11ish (his normal nap time) and he was literally comatose. We put him in the swing and he just stared at us expressionless. We came back home and put him down and he was asleep the moment his head hit the mattress. While J slept, Jer and I installed a plastic sheet to cover the balcony (so J can't fall through the slats)-- it wasn't as easy as we thought it would be, but we finally figured it out and now Jayden can hang out on the balcony. We're going to get rid of the plants (since we never water them anyways) and clear the area so Jayden will have an outdoor area to play in. After his 1 hr nap (yup, the whole putting down later idea didn't work too well) we brought him outside and he had so much fun playing in his new space. Since it was so nice out today, we decided it would also be fun to take Jayden swimming-- daddy and Jayden played in the water while I took pictures and relaxed. We finished off the day by having a yummy BBQ dinner with our friend Sarah and then Jayden passed out for the night at 6:45.
