Boys Will Be Boys!

The day could not have started off any better. Scott stayed in bed extra long this morning while Susanne prepared him breakfast. During this time, Scott got some extra snuggle time with Paxton. After a delicious breakfast in bed, they decided to get up and prepare for a great day. The only pressing thing on their agenda was to go to the pool for the afternoon with Aunt Leenie and Uncle Loonie.

After Paxton was all lathered up with sunscreen, Scott put on his swimming trunks and he was ready to go. He only needed one more thing to complete his look....sunglasses. Susanne was finally able to find a pair that he could wear. Now, Paxton looked even more like his father. Like father, like son for sure.

Scott decided to play bartender for the afternoon and make some nice, refreshing watermelon margaritas for the poolside. Once he was finished, they loaded up the cooler and headed out for some fun in the sun. It was definitely a scorcher, reaching up to the mid-nineties. This was a perfect day to go swimming.

For the first few hours, everyone sipped on their cocktails, soaked in some rays, and enjoyed each other's company. Once it got too hot to handle, everyone went for a dip in the pool. Paxton couldn't stay too long in the water because he was due for his next NG feeding. Susanne decided to hang out with the little guy while Uncle Loonie and Scott shot some water hoops. Susanne and Paxton finally joined everyone after Paxton woke up from a much needed nap. He seemed to really like the water this time. He seemed quite content to hang out in the pool as long as the sun wasn't in his face. They stayed in the water so long that they all turned into prunes. Even though it was hard to go, they decided to leave when Paxton was due for his next feeding. Everyone had a great time and they had the sunburn to prove it.

Scott couldn't even get Paxton through the front door before Paxton was fast asleep. They decided to put him straight to bed and bathe him after he woke up. In the meantime, Susanne made Scott a nice dinner before he had to head back to PA. Sadly, he had to open his Father's Day gifts without Paxton because he was still sleeping. Paxton got his daddy a card and a special book for just the two of them to read together. Susanne framed a picture of Paxton for Scott to take with him so that he would have something to constantly brighten his day whenever he needed a pick me up. It was going to look perfect in his office at work.

Paxton must have been exhausted because he did not wake up at all. Susanne waited and waited for him to open his little eyes, but it never happened. She ended up waking him up a short time after he finished his nine o'clock feeding just so that she could bathe him. She couldn't fathom letting him sleep through the entire night without a bath after having sunscreen on him and being in the pool. It just did not seem sanitary or safe. He was actually very content with having a bath even though it was really late at night. Baths had come to be one of his favorite things. He especially liked his hair to be washed. Now he was ready for bed. He had fresh new blankets and he was squeaky clean. Susanne had no trouble at all putting him back down for the evening. One book later and he was out for the count. He always seemed so peaceful when he slept.

By this time, Scott was on the road back to Pennsylvania. Susanne was so thankful that he was able to come home this weekend. It was such a special first Father's Day for the whole family to be together. We love you daddy!
