water, agua, l'eau

there's not much in life that is better than swimmin' in the summer. loungin' half naked in a plastic baby pool, soakin' up the rays while reading a magazine out loud to your little man who is squealing with joy. ahhhhhh. i feel that i better soak it all in while i have a chance, because i know that if i get into the dental hygiene program, these days of focusing just on my baby are few and numbered.




his favorite thing to suck on are these fake coins we were given at a UofL basketball game. don't worry lyric, they're too big for him to choke on. i don't plan on making the same mistake twice. if the rest of you are wondering what i'm talking about, back in the day i gave her baby, max, (who is now almost 8) a piece of a tortilla chip, with the pointy edges and all. it lodged in his throat the second i gave it to him. as a lifeguard and knew exactly what to do, so yes, i had to do the baby heimlich on my baby nephew. it was very scary and i think i almost gave lyric a heart attack, but watching her reaction was priceless. i don't think yelling for mom and running out of the room is going to help your baby breath again. but what do i know.
love you lyr.

still sucking on that coin. quinn wouldn't be too happy seeing his boy more interested in a coin than a ball. maybe once teething is over he will be more interested in balls. lets hope. for quinn's sake.

the zoo has a really cool splash park that we went to yesterday. jayden loved it and i thought for sure he was going to walk while we were there. i got the video camera out and everything. he will stand forever by himself, but he just won't take a step without holding onto something. i don't want to hear it miller's and mortensen's! we all know your boys can run circles around j-dogg right now.





i know this next picture has nothing to do with water, agua, and l'eau, but i just had to include it.

quinn HATES it when jayden spits out his food. he is trying to teach him not to do it but it is taking longer than expected. quinn fed jayden this morning and when i walked into the kitchen, this is what i found...

jayden in his highchair facing the corner. quinn had put him in timeout. it didn't seem to be working very well.

Did you really have to share that choking story with the world? I guess it makes you look almost as stupid as me because you gave him the chip. At least your kids will have a better chance of survival, even with a stupid mom!! We are counting down the weeks (and maybe days!) that we get to see you.

love all of your posts....so entertaining. your little big man is adorable! a little hint i learned from all of the experienced beach mamas in southern cali: baby powder magically gets all of the sand off those sweet buns, just sprinkle and watch the sand disappear.
