The last two months have been entertaining and HOT! We have been surviving the heat well enough I would say, we do have a portable A/C unit in the bedroom but doesn't keep up all the time nor does it help with the rest of the house so we make do with window fans (and ceiling fans). I bought Nathan a pool - it's kinda neat cause it's got a "shade" over hang and a sprinkler setup - great for baby... and momma too! We tried it one day and while it wasn't a huge success with Nathan (he cried unless I was in there with him) he did at least start to play after a while and seemed to enjoy himself at least some. Of course it seemed to cool off some since purchasing the pool and so we haven't really tried to play in it again since - maybe this coming weekend since it'll be in the high 80's again.
Work has finally started tapering off with the insanity... which has made for a much calmer momma - but it was pretty dicey for a while! Luckily he waited until after the worst was over to start teething again - so now we've got 4 teeth and looks like 4 more are trying to pop through!! Yikes! Poor guy has been pretty grouchy over them - can't you tell?
He had his first experience with Fireworks and mud... One I think he loved, the other went about as well as the pool but without momma there to help smooth it over! LOL
He's mastered standing... ON EVERYTHING!! He's also mastered going from standing to sitting (or picking something up off the ground while standing) instead of just falling on his butt... so no more baths without worrying that he'll try to stand up and bust his head! He's also learned that he can "walk" all the way around the area that is his play area holding onto something - so he goes from the TV to the ottoman using his bouncy chair/bed thing, then from ottoman to couch with the aid of the footstool, then he'll use his exersaucer to make his way from the end of the couch to the swivel chair... and sometime he'll use his play mat to balance against, but usually he just goes back to the ottoman... It's cute!
Speaking of walking... this weekend he got his very first pair of shoes!!
In order for him to transition to the next room in Daycare, he has to have shoes/socks and a jacket with him ... so we went shopping over the weekend to find him a pair of shoes. Ended up getting Striderite soft soles - they are super flexible soled but the rubber sole will still protect his little feet from everything. I think the next pair will be a pair of Nike's that we saw in JCP though, not quite as soft or flexible but I liked the look of them a lot more.
I still can't believe he's old enough to be getting ready to transition - goodness.. ALMOST 1!
We got some photos taken late in the month of May that came out BEAUTIFUL!!!
He still loves to terrorize the dogs...
Still loves his baths...
Still loves to play on my computer (when I'll let him)...
All in all... still my happy little boy!!
Next month will be very busy... He'll have his first plane right (going to Texas to stay with grandma and grandpa while momma and daddy go to Cabo), first time to get to see cousins/aunts/uncles, first time away from momma and daddy both for more than 24hrs, first time in Texas, first time seeing/riding a horse, first birthday... oh the things we'll get into next month! And the fun doesn't stop when we come back mid-month, because the other grandma (along with hubby's youngest brother and the sister-in-law) will be coming up to hang out for a week at the end of the Aug beginning of Sept...
