Riding my colt...

Uncle Drew, Ashlee and Auntie Lo got me this ride-on colt for my christening. I have been practicing and am getting really good. I take this very seriously so don't laugh at me. Here I am in action:

My last swimming lesson

Yesterday was my last swimming lesson at DePaul. Mommy and I had SO much fun in our lessons with Dana and Owen, Debbie and Jack and Heidi and Graham. Here is a pic of Graham and I getting ready for our last day in the water.

I also had to say goodbye to my nice teacher Julie. Here she is holding me right before I went in. She taught me to jump in from the side, go under, kick my legs and pull pull pull my arms.

Laughing my butt off...

Here is a silly video of mom and I goofing around...

I can crawl!

Over the past week I have been stringing together "mini-crawls" and going a few moves at a time. This weekend, I figured things out for good. I am on the MOVE! Check me out in my room...

Saugatuck Weekend

We had a great beach weekend to celebrate Jay's birthday and our 4th wedding anniversary. We went to Saugatuck/Douglas which is about 2.5 hrs from Chicago and rented a neat house in the woods. We went to the beach on Sat. and Sun. Jack and mom played in the waves on Sunday. It was a beautiful day!! Jack was crawling all over the place and took a couple of face fulls of sand but was a good sport. He also managed to get his first fat lip which was more traumatic for mom than for Jack. Clark also got to romp on the beach so he was a happy pup. He then thanked the family by insisting that he ride shotgun all the way home to Chicago while mom rode in the back with Jack. Nice dog. Really.
