The Pool and The Food

This message is to officially announce....Jack is swimming! Well, at least he's getting in the pool. Everyday for about a week now, Jack goes for a swim at around 3:30. He loves playing on the ledge splashing around. After about 30 minutes, he then eats his dinner (solid foods) outside while drying off until going inside for a bath and then a bottle. This ends with him going to bed at or around 6pm. He usually wakes up a few times but fusses back to sleep all by himself typically waking at or around 6am. Then he goes in his swing while Susie and I attempt to squeeze in another hour of sleep.

Anyway, the boy is growing up and, I must say, has become very pleasant these days. Pictures of pool time to follow soon. He has also mastered the art of sitting, can eat Cheerios and mushy things off our plates, and seems to love to make us laugh with a fake cough which he finds hilarious. He also can apparently eat batteries or so he thinks...the other day Susie and I watched as he chewed on something while sitting in his walker. At some point Susie said, "what is he chewing on". I said, "I dunno", thinking nothing of it. Susie got up and moved in closer, "I think it's a...", I stood up and moved in as like a cat ready to pounce. Susie finished her sentence "...a battery!" Jack had figured out a way to open his a toy and pull a battery out and, of course, eat it. Susie worried he may have already swallowed one or two looked to see if the rest were still in the toy.

Jack's taking this solid thing way too far but for the most part it is going well. We love our boy!!!
