The Lake

What an exciting day for the little man!  We officially did away with the paci today, cold turkey.  Ajax was starting to wake up in the night and would only go back to bed if Dave or I went downstairs, searched around in the dark for another paci and gave it to him.  After a few weeks of interrupted sleep, we were both done with it.  It’s only been one day and it’s been a bit tough, but I think in the long run we will all be happier.

Today we also headed out to the lake for a small get together with close family friends to celebrate a graduation.  We had a great time and ate a ton.  Ajax ate the entire time we were there (growth spurt?).  He ate so much that I began getting concerned that he was just eating way too much (he had a hotdog and some hamburger, strawberries, chips, party mix, cheerios, and of course ketchup).  He never stopped, he was a machine.  Ajax also went swimming and then took his first boat ride.  He loved it.

Hammock time!
Getting ready for a ride! We couldn't get him off the boat.

This was Ajax's post for most of the boat ride.
The lake was very calm as it had just gotten done raining. There was mist rising up off it and it was pretty cool.
This was the first time Ajax got to wear his life vest, I think he thought it was pretty cool.
