Swingin'

This past weekend was our Canada Day weekend, so we packed up all of our gear (again, packing for a baby takes multiple days and a series of checklists!) and headed up north again. Surrounding Kaiden with the same childhood - whether he can remember it or not - is super important to me, so ideally I'm aiming for taking him up every long weekend.

After many walks around in his little car and stroller, I decided to take him over to the baby swings (9 months for an average size baby, y'all! My little guy is a bit bigger than average!) in the park across the road, and he fell absolutely in love.

I think he noticed the difference of his baby swing and actually swinging in a "big boy swing", because the grin on his face was absolutely, heart achingly beautiful! I couldn't stop laughing at his amusement as we pushed him back and released him, grinning and screaming every time the sun would hit his little face. I fell more in love with my son than I ever thought possible. The older he gets, the more personality he forms, the more I can't imagine him not being the thing that holds me to this earth. I don't know what I ever did without him!
