My sisters and mom hosted a little “Welcome CJ” party at my mom’s house last weekend in lieu of an actual baby shower. My mom and Christina made grilled veggies, cous, cous, a Filipino noodle dish called pancit, sandwiches, and served fruit salad, watermelon slices, and halo halo (a favorite for everyone!).
It was a blazing hot day in San Jose and we completely forgot to pack Dylan’s swimsuit for the occasion! Luckily, Auntie Christina had some sort of floaty suit that Dylan could borrow (never mind that it was pink and purple!), so we stripped him completely down and had him don the floaty suit.
Since neither Tom nor I had a swimsuit with us, Auntie Christina was awesome about taking Dylan into the pool and hanging out with him. She did some “swim practice” with him, piloted a raft train with Tyler and Dylan both on board, and did other fun pool stuff.
Dylan, of course, totally adored playing with his cousins, and we enjoyed spending the day with family!
