Loganus aquaticus

So this weekend had a few more firsts for our little guy, most notably his first swimming experience. We went to a wedding in Rockford for one of Heather's college friends and stayed at the Clocktower Best Western Resort (first hotel stay); our room was much nicer than many of the reviews Heather read would have suggested - king-size bed with plenty of room for the pack'n'play and even a balcony overlooking the outdoor pool.

Erica's wedding was on the Rockford College campus at Fisher Chapel and was very elegant. The reception was at the Rockford Women's Club, where the elegance continued and we had a great time. Another of Heather's friends from college, Angelique (known as Q), was at the wedding as well and sat at the same table. Erica had also sat us with another couple, Joel and Julie, whom we had never met but apparently live only 7 blocks away from us in Chicago. We all shared our parenting anecdotes - Julie and Joel have a 5-year-old girl and 14-month-old boy and Q's boy is 21 months - and had a lot of fun. Evidently Logan knew he would no longer be needing his baby tuxedo and decided to poop through it, even though I had expressly told him not to earlier in the day. Both he and I started to crash on a couch outside the dance area, so Heather decided it was time to go.



Since Heather knew the Clocktower had a pool she was very excited to see how Logan would take to the water. After we woke up this morning we made our way to the pool to check it out. Our new camera is waterproof so we wanted to try that out too. While we can't tell if he actively enjoyed swimming, he didn't scream or anything, so that's a good sign.

Here you can see him in his Pooh Hefner outfit:
