Swim Lessons

Wake is a natural in the pool. He loves the water and about has his breast stroke down already. He'll be swimming in no time!

Beach Bum

He has been having a great time at his twice weekly swim class at the Y. He will be sad when it ends!

Bath Time and Easter

Bath time...Wake's favorite time of the day!

Beach and standing

Wake started pulling up to stand a couple weeks ago. He thinks he is such a big boy now!

When we went down to Kiawah he figured out that sand is good!

The boy loves pickles. I mean loves them!!

8 and a half months...wow

As I write this i am still wondering where all this time went. I mean my little one couldn't even grab, clap or try to be independent two months ago. Well, forget all that, Wake is his own man these days. Yes, he still needs mama and does still want mama, but he is finding out that he is Wake. And one day, Wake will be responsible for Wake. While I hate to think about those days of worry, I do hope that I can instill in him now a sense of responsibility and independence early on.

We have just started swim lessons which he absolutely loves. He has developed his own style of the breast stroke which is just so funny to watch. I will get a video posted of this asap. He just kicks and splashes and doesn't mind getting water all in his face. He may be swimming before he ever crawls! While he is not crawling he does pull up on surfaces and "cruise" around the room. There is still the occasional face plant, but he will eventually learn you can't just let go! He is loving his new found mobility. However, it is beginning to terrify me!!

We have had some recent visits from aunt c and uncle jarad as well as nana and papa ray. He just loves hanging out with family and friends. And mom enjoys some extra time to get some things done...for once!

Wake is an eater like his parents. He loves food. He loves everything that goes in his mouth. He is pretty much chomping on what we eat, just in a pureed fashion. He still has no teeth but he sure has learned how to gum any finger food that he needs to chew up. It is cute to watch. When the plate goes empty, this man screams for more. He is porking up quickly!

Wake is cute as a button and while he keeps me awake at night, I can't help but give him a million kisses a day! We are just enjoying each and every day with this little fellow.
