4th of July weekend in Dewey beach, DE = fun times had by all!

Aaron is getting bigger and stronger every day. His beautiful head of thick hair is starting to fall out and some blondish hair is growing in underneath. Right now he has kind of a curly mow hawk look going on! He's on a great "schedule" right now which has worked nicely for us...he takes 6oz by bottle ever 3 hours or so...he gets one meal of cereal plus a fruit or vegetable once a day (he's taking it great and loves it!) and he's asleep by 6pm and wakes up around 5:30 or 6 am! Charlie had that type of schedule and it was so nice!

So we headed back to Dewey Beach for the July 4th weekend. My parents were there and were such a huge help! Between keeping Charlie occupied or watching Aaron so I could do things, they were awesome! Silly me forgot charlie's swim trunks (I even had a cute flag pattern pair) so he wore shorts on the beach...oh well, next year! He did lots of sand castle building. I taught him how to make drippy castles.
Aaron slept in a little tent on the beach, woke up to eat and then went back to sleep. He was a dream!

Charlie playing his own made-up "hockey" game. That's what he called it but it was really a type of juggling sort of with the paddle balls. He was amused which was the most important part!
Aaron on July 4th (also his 4 month b-day!) He had his 4 month check-up and he weighs 14lb 4oz. Charlie at the same age was 16lb 10 oz and 1/2 inch shorter! I know you are not supposed to compare but wow!

Charlie "digging for dinosaur food". He certainly has an imagination!
Charlie and Gampa in the water...my poor dad was wiped out after hanging onto all 36+ pounds of Charlie!
Chowing on some planet ice water ice. He was psyched to have his own cup this time!
Aaron's sleeping quarters...
Sleeping baby... Singing and dancing to Marvin Gay with Gampa
He's so stinkin cute!
