Water

Jonathan could play in the water for hours on end. Whether it be the pool, the water hose or the sink...he loves water. I let him play in the sink while I am trying to get meals ready. Today he was in rare form and was being quiet silly playing in the water, which resulted in the bowl on his head. Luckily there was not a lot of water in the bowl.

Diana's Ultrasound

Diana had a hip ultrasound today as the doctors were worried about her hips because she was breech. Aside from not letting her eat for 2-3 hours before the ultrasound, she did very well. She just laid on the table and drank her bottle while they did the ultrasound. The ultrasound tech did say that she was a very strong little girl as Diana was locking her legs in place creating a bit of a challenge for the tech. Thanks to GB and Grandpa Weeks for having Jonathan spend Monday night at their house so that he didn't have to come with. He got spoiled and had way more fun!

Underwater

Jonathan has made such great improvements with swimming this summer! He now closes his eyes, holds his breath and goes under water! We are so proud of him. Yesterday he was watching another little boy go under to get diving sticks and now today Jonathan is doing it. He still is afraid to jump into the big pool and go under but we are getting there, maybe by the end of the summer.

IHOP

If Daddy makes his 25 phone calls a day, we get to go to breakfast on Saturday (or in this case the July 4th holiday). Jonathan could not get enough of his daddy on this particular morning and was literally sitting as close to Brad as he could. Copying everything he was doing too. IHOP is Jonathan's favorite place to go. He can even recognize IHOP from the freeway.

Holding Diana

Jonathan loves to hold his baby sister. Brad and I both think Jonathan looks really old in this picture.

Tired Boy

Today was Jonathan's first official day home with me as he is done going to Mary's now. It was a great day! I think we might be going to GB's pool every day this summer. Jonathan LOVES to swim. We spent almost all day up there again and he swam and swam and swam. He made good improvements today too with his swimming. Last time he was jumping off the edge of the baby pool, which he can now touch all the way around, so he didn't go under. Today, we were playing in the big pool and I think he forgot that we were in the big pool and he couldn't touch but he got out to get a toy, walked over to the edge instead of the stairs and jumped in. GB and I were over by the stairs and were shocked when he jumped in. He had his new Cars water wings on that GB bought him so he popped right up but boy was he surprised!!! His eyes were as big as saucers. We talked about it and he said it was fun but it scared him. He claims that he will do it again with daddy on Monday, but we shall see. Last time he used his kickboard over his head to go under the water sprinkler part of the "mushroom" in the baby pool but today he was in and out with nothing to protect his head from the water. He was also carrying so many toys in and out that he couldn't even dry his eyes, GB says this is really good progress. Jonathan also got spoiled by GB as she bought him two water sprayer toys, which he played with last time from another little boy. They are called max liquidator and they can get you soaked! All of this swimming really wore him out. We came home and got him down for a nap around 3 pm. At 5:45 I went up to his room to wake him up. He looked at me, mumbled something and rolled over. I sat there for a minute not knowing what to do and decided that I guess he needed his sleep so went back downstairs. About 10 minutes later he was awake. Who knows how long he would have slept for though?!?! He had bags under his eyes and was kind of a walking zombie until he went to bed at 9. Thanks for tiring my kid out GB!!!

Child Labor Laws

While Brad, Emily and I were trying to have some adult conversation and get dinner ready, both kids were being a tad "needy". Brad's brilliant idea was to have Jonathan hold Diana while he watched Donald Duck on my computer. It actually worked for about 10 minutes.
