Aidan had his first extended boating trip over the holiday weekend and seemed to do quite well with it. Although he didn't really seem to enjoy going through the locks from Lake Washington to Puget Sound very much. Maybe it was the sudden lack of attention due to his parents being pre-occupied with trying not to crash into other boats while getting situated in the locks - but boy does that kid have a set of lungs on him. He'll just have to appreciate later in life how we ignored him for a few minutes but saved his college tuition by not having to spend it buying someone a new boat after we sank the one they had by running into it while we were attending to him.

Aidan + Life Jacket = unhappy baby. Aidan just does not like wearing his life jacket. I mean, what's not to like.. Having to wear a big, restrictive vest with a neck hole barely large enough for one of his arms, let alone his neck (made for infants up to 30lbs the tag says.. ya, right.).

Aidan also suffered his first sunburn thanks to his terrible parents who didn't think to apply sunscreen in overcast/barely sunny at times weather. Aidan didn't seem to mind though - didn't even seem to notice, even after the tiny blisters appeared (and have now sense subsided). The redness of his chubby cheeks didn't really go with the light blue Disney logo Mickey Mouse football sweatshirt he was wearing - or was it the educational dinosaur cartoonish 'follow me' sweatshirt (not affiliated with Disney and I'm sure was therefore affordable), it's so hard to remember due to the multiple shirt changes due to Aidan "The human volcano of spit-up" Stutz that seemed to erupt every 15 minutes or so.

After the weekend, all ended quite well. Aidan's sunburn was doing well, my sunburn was starting to flake away already and we didn't hit anything all weekend. Whew!
