Now, don't be alarmed by the post title - we didn't leave Tigger at home when we went to Texas this weekend. We went to visit the family, but more importantly, meet Tigger's new cousin Sugar Bean (her nickname). Unfortunately, Sugar Bean is as laid back (i.e. "always late") as her parents and didn't make an appearance during our 5-day stay there. Now that we're back in DC, I'm sure she'll arrive any day now!
We started our visit on Friday, when we landed late in the afternoon. We headed to Meemaw's house, where we promptly stripped Tigger to get some air on his diaper rash (an ever present problem now that he's moving around so much). He's always such a happy boy!
Later that evening, Aunt Lorelei and cousin Cassidy came over. Papa Tigger obliged a story-reading request from Cassidy.
On Saturday, we very excitedly undertook a first - Tigger's first swimming experience! Aunt Lorelei and Uncle Michael let us join them at their neighborhood pool and lent us a baby floatie. Papa Tigger first blows it up for Tigger...
...and in we jumped!
He was a little unsure at first....
...but warmed up and smiled
Here's some video of our adventure:
Uncle Michael, Aunt Lorelei and cousin Cassidy had fun in the water too.
It started to rain, so we got out and wrapped up our short swimming adventure.
Tigger was worn out and cuddled with Mama Tigger, all warm in his towel.
Cassidy enjoyed some cuddling time with her Mama too.
Papa Tigger wanted to play in the rain with Tigger, so they ventured out from the cover of the umbrella. Tigger seems a bit unsure....
On Sunday, Tigger spent some time at Uncle Michael and Aunt Lorelei's house. Cousin Cassidy was nice enough to share some of her toys with Tigger. He had fun on the fire truck.
After playtime, we decided to head to the mall and give Uncle Michael and Aunt Lorelei's new double stroller a whirl. Tigger and Cassidy like it!
At Ikea, Cassidy had fun in the play area.
And Tigger loved looking around! Check out Cassidy in the background in the stroller.

On Monday, the weather was much nicer, so we decided to try our hand again at the pool. At first, Tigger's not sure....
Even Mama Tigger had to get used to the water!
But we all acclimated and had lots of fun!
Tigger even got belly kisses from Papa Tigger.
Squishy face for a picture!!
Tigger even started splashing!
Meemaw sure did a great job taking all those pictures!!!
After swimming, we finished up our visit with some great Tex-Mex at Chuy's. While we waited for our table, Papa Tigger kept Tigger occupied with the trees outside.
Then, Aunt Lorelei kept him happy playing peekaboo.
The next day, we packed up and headed home. Once we got home, we unpacked and kicked up our feet to relax. Papa Tigger was having a beer and decided to let Tigger hold it. Tigger's been teething, so he started gnawing on the bottle. He's definitely too young to take a drink though!
Overall, it was a fun visit and we enjoyed seeing the family!!!
