Lots has gone on the past three weeks so there's some catching up to do. One, to keep all of the loyal followers out there up to date on all of our very important life happenings...and two, so we won't forget this stage of life in future years! There's certainly a lot to remember.
Jacob recently completed his second summer of swimming lessons. Coach Bill is a tough yet respected coach amongst two year olds and mommies alike. Jacob seems to be doing pretty good to me. He even jumped off the diving board twice one day in the sessions! And quite candidly, he already knows the fundamentals better than myself. I was never much of a swimmer. Perhaps, a visit to Coach Bill should be in the works for me! Su also has him enrolled in a local Gymboree, which is an indoor play and learning facility. They also frequent the library where he's enrolled in a summer reading program. He and I have long had a tradition of bedtime stories and it's truly one of my favorite experiences as a father. As you see from the pictures, he has really gotten excited over accessories. He has never had an interest in hats, yet wanted to put one on over the weekend. Mommy also got him some cool shades, plus he frequently wears a watch that he got from his nana and pawpaw when he turned two.
Patrick is really growing up, which shouldn't be surprising. He is beginning to utter words, which include: daddy, mama, tick tock, kitty, puppy, baby, and even Patrick!!! He really gets on talking kicks lately. He'll start babbling and pointing and you can pretty much figure out what he's saying based on that combination! He also eats like a horse. I frequently love to compare Patrick and Jacob's mealtime eating habits. For instance, for breakfast on Sunday, Patrick had two pancakes, a half a banana, and a cup of yogurt plus milk. Jacob had......a half a waffle and milk. There have been times where Patrick finishes his plate of food and then polishes off Jacob's. Pretty soon, I have a feeling he may just go ahead and try to eat his brother. Enjoy some random pics from previous weeks!
