A Happy 4th from Westport

We spent a beautiful weekend in Westport, CT to celebrate the 4th of July. This year, though, Grandma and Grandpa were not present since they are traveling around eastern Europe right now so instead, Oliver and his Moms joined their friends Shawn, Jeff & Zoe and Katie, Angie & Aliza for a fun time in Connecticut.

This holiday marks the first time Oliver has ever gone in a pool and he was not disappointed. Oliver loved splashing around from his whale float as well as attempting to do a freestyle stroke. He also went under water and while he was a little stunned he didn't cry and really didn't seem horribly phased by it.

Aliza also made her debut in the pool but took a slightly more cautious approach. Who can blame her, she is only 4 months old, but a brave 4 months old.
Zoe dove right in to all the fun and really seemed to have a good time as well.

Oliver had a little man-to-man time with Jeff, the only other male there this weekend. I'm pretty sure Jeff shared some crawling secrets with Oliver and perhaps threw in a few other pointers as well.

We also took several walks this weekend with the whole gang including a trip to the Wesport Dog Park.

Shawn even got friendly with Bowie, one of Katie and Angie's dogs. This was a sight we thought we would never see.

Oliver also took this opportunity to spend a little quality time with his half-sib Aliza. She is growing up so fast and before we know it they are going to be playing stick ball on the streets...ok maybe not stick ball but perhaps Nintendo Wii.
