Happy 4th of July! This was Myer’s 2nd official holiday so as you can imagine he was pumped to celebrate. We participated in our neighborhood parade by decorating Myer’s stroller with a flag and then we had an all-American cook-out at the pool. Of course, Myer didn’t get to partake in the hamburgers and hotdogs, but he had a couple bottles of milk while we were there. He also was not able to take a dip in the pool yet because it was too crowded and he hasn’t been given the all clear to wear sunscreen. That doesn’t come til he hits 6 months, which is still two months away. It looks like he’ll have to wait til next pool season to start swimming.
Speaking of sleep, we transitioned Myer to his crib in his own room a couple nights ago and so far, he is doing better than expected. Not that he is a bad sleeper, but I didn’t really know what to expect. I didn’t move him by choice either because I loved having him right next to me in his bassinet, but he had reached the maximum weight limit and he was growing too fast in length also. Anyways, the first night we put him in his bed, he slept 6 hours and he loved it. He thinks the teddy bears that circle above his head are the funniest guys in the world. He wakes up laughing at how silly they are. Then the other morning, I came in to find him kicking and rolling his soccer ball around the crib with a huge smile on his face. That brought a warm feeling to my heart that we may have a soccer player in the making. I wanted to get the video camera and record it for ESPN just in case they needed some baby footage of him someday, (just in case he ended up famous)J, but I was having too much fun watching him that I didn’t want to miss a minute. I’m sure there will be plenty more opportunities to catch him in action. I’ll just have to be better about carrying the video camera around with me everywhere I go from here on out.

In closing, I want to thank all our military families for the sacrifice they make on a daily basis because we couldn’t live the awesome lives we do without you. We are forever grateful and are extremely proud to call America our home because of you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and Happy 4th of July to everyone!
