As it is now early August and school is just around the corner, I figured I should get these pictures off of the camera before summer is over!
Boating with a baby tends to be a little bit difficult, but we have certainly managed a few times this summer! Believe it or not, this chunky baby is still pretty small for a life jacket! It just squishes up on his neck and face and we feel so bad for him! But it's the law and he does pretty well with it. He generally falls asleep as the boat is going fast - the motion and white noise apparently are perfect sleeping conditions. Never mind the waves and the bumpy ride!
We took two weeks of swim lessons mid-July. Unfortunately the time was right in the middle of his morning nap. That meant he was VERY tired during the lessons. The first week was in the mid 90's...the second week had a high of 70! Parker enjoys the water and we have learned some of the foundational skills to learning how to swim. He received a report card at the last lesson and received "needs to improve" in most areas. The learn to swim class is for 6-36 months and Parker had just turned 6 months old. Most of the skills are not developmentally appropriate for him - but there was still a slight cringe to view that negative report card!
Watching Saturday morning cartoons...
Team spirit for the water fights at Lake Villa days.
