Summer Bucket List

For our first summer as a family of three, I thought it would be fun to put together a family-friendly summer bucket list.  Xavier is becoming more alert and observant, and one of his favorite things to do when we are out is to people watch.  If he is fussy or crying, surrounding him with people and a new environment solves the problem in no time.  He is instantly fascinated by new experiences and faces.

Even though Xavier won't remember any of this, at least it will make for good pictures and memories for Mom and Dad to make :)

1. Go on a picnic where we play with bubbles and feed the ducks

2. Watch fireworks and light sparklers

3. Make homemade popsicles

4. Splash in the baby pool

5. Make s'mores by the fire

6. Play with sidewalk chalk

7. Vinegar and baking soda in a bottle science experiment, outside

8. Look for bugs

9. Go out for ice cream

10. Take a trip to the library
11.  Look at the moon

In other news, Xavier's baby fat fascinates me.  I love to pinch it, squeeze it, smoosh it, kiss it, poke it...  He is the chubbiest on his legs.  The rolls on his thighs, calf muscles, and backs of ankles kill me!  I.  Heart.  Them.  This past winter, I would take his pants off and turn up the heat, just so I could play with it!  Obsessed is an understatement.
