We had our monthly photo shoot before school today and both John and I were just too excited to sit still. Here's the best of the lot:
He's going for my hair!
Ok, Dad. We can all be done now.
News from the past month:
The biggest news in John's life is that he started at my Montessori school last week! He's in a room across the hall from me and he seems to be enjoying it. He's been smiling a lot and playing with all sorts of new things.
He's starting to try some new foods, as well. He's not an expert at eating quite yet, but at least most of the food is getting swallowed instead of spit back onto his chin! He tried avocado for the first time last night and seemed to enjoy it. Apple sauce, bananas and rice cereal are the other things he's had so far.
Mom and I haven't seen it yet, but Dad and the teachers at school have all seen John roll from his back to his stomach. It seems as if he really enjoys spending time on his side, too. He likes doing that in the kitchen while Dad is cooking at the real sink and stove and I'm cooking at my play kitchen.
I've had a busy few weeks, as well. For the past three weeks I've had swim lessons each Tuesday and Thursday evening. This week is my last week of that cycle, but I told Dad that I wanted to sign up for the July session, too. I'm getting a bit more comfortable with putting my head underwater. Of course, by "comfortable" I mean I don't cry every time I do it now. And the other treat that comes with swim lessons is that I get to go home and take a shower instead of a bath. I'm not totally convinced about how awesome they are, but I continue to pick a shower instead of a bath especially when asked questions like:
Tess, do you want to take a shower and then watch a movie or do you want to just take a bath and get ready for bed? Or: Tess, would you like to have this cookie and then take a shower or just take a bath and get ready for bed? You get the idea.
John and I hosted our first sleepover this past Saturday night. Mom and Dad went to a wedding near Winter Park so Erin and Mary came to watch us. I knew things would be ok when Erin arrived and let me open her bag of goodies featuring: Cookie dough mix, pizza supplies, popcorn, water toys and a movie. I was excited to see Mom and Dad when they got back on Sunday morning, but was also sad to see Erin and Mary leave. Sources tell me that Erin had to take a nap on Sunday afternoon to recover.
The biggest news of the month doesn't involve me or John. It's that our cousin's Zoë and Wren have moved from South Carolina to Denver! They live about 25 minutes away and we've seen them a lot in the past couple weeks. It's so much fun!
