Vince's +1sie Powers

This weekend it was nice and sunny on Saturday, so we decided to head out to the day for a long walk and a visit to the park. We had so much fun watching Vince for the first time in the baby swing at the park near our house. He was still a little bit too wee to completely fit in the swing so we bulked him up with some blankets in the back.

Here he is just hanging there, not really sure what to think about it yet

He quickly caught on when we started swinging him, laughing and giggling like crazy! The higher we sent him the more he liked it, I'm hoping this kid will be a daredevil like that!

We cruised around Fresh Pond enjoying the sun, while Vince happily noticed all the dogs out and about.

Then when we got home, he started holding his own bottle himself! Add this to the list of things a parent will happily freak out about when their kid does it for the first time. I spared the next set of pictures where there was milk all over the place, on him, the carpet and the floor. He quickly learned he could squeeze the nipple and get milk to squirt out (mainly on his face).

Vince also started going from sitting to crawling, which may not seem like a big deal either, but he's been afraid to do it for over a week now. Why was Vince finally able to perform these firsts in one day? Mike's theory is that it's because he was wearing his +1sie (some weird Dungeons and Dragons thing):

Here's a picture of the end of the day. It's the only time Pootie would allow Vince to be so close... while he's asleep.
