The pool

So far this summer we have not been to the pool that much. Mainly because it has been to cold or rainy, but we are starting to get there now that it is warming up. The first few times Devin would cry and cling to me or Ben. It would take him awhile to warm up to the pool. But now, he loves the water. He likes to walk around in the water and stop and squat down so that his shoulders are under the water.

Some times he slips and goes under the water. But he doesn't cry about it and doesn't seem scared. Just not too sure what happen (surprised).
We have been working on having him float on his back and kick in the water. Doesn't really care to float on his back, but will do it for a minute sometimes. We are hoping to do swimming lesson at the end of the month with him. They have a toddler class at the pool. We will see how that will go.

Devin enjoys it when daddy plays with him. Either he is throwing him in the air or catching him as he jumps off the edge. we also have a fun time at the pool when we go.

Friday was one busy day

Now that Devin and I are home together three days a week, we have been very busy. We go on an average of 2-3 walks a day and we try to get to the pool when it is nice outside.


As you can see he is into everything. Nothing is safe anymore. I took the picture after catching him playing with the picture frames on my glass shelves.


Outside playing in our car.


He thought it was fun to try to stand in the car. Which of course I was saying NO-NO. He also likes to touch the grass when he is the car or the walker, but as soon as you put him on the grass he doesn't like it. He is one funny boy.

After his afternoon nap we went to the pool. He had so much fun this time. He was crawling at the edge of the pool and didn't mind when water got splashed in his face.




Kayla and Haley were even there to play with. He liked playing with Kohl also. Then again any kid that will talk to him, he likes to smile at.



After a long and busy day we all went to the Blue Earth Fireworks. They didn't start until around 10 o'clock. Once we got out to the school, where we like to wactch the fireworks, to the east of us was a nice light display going on already. It was lightening out, but we were lucky, whatever strom there was passed right over us. As Ben and I sat and watched the fireworks, Devin was sound a sleep in the backseat of the car. The fireworks themselves were okay.
