I am lovin my big boy food these days. i am also lovin the swim lessons that mom, dad and i are taking...it is so fun, on monday i am going to learn how to put my head under--and yes, we will take video and post it for everyone to see. my favorite part is to climb and and jump in--of course mom has 2 hands on me at all times, and i cannot really jump, she more like lifts me in, bu ti think it is hilarious. i went to chuckecheese for the first time--with my sitter and 8 other kids--she had the 5 of us she normally has, and then 3 of her neices and nephews from holland were in and none of them spoke english, so i got my first dose of really being immersed in a foriegn language , dutch, and now per mom's request, franny talks to me in dutch most all of the time--but then when she tries to talk to mom, she forgets to switch back to english, so sometimes it is funny. i still love my dogs so much and very clearly say doggy and daisy and jack. gotta run time to go to the baby clothes swap and get me some new stuff...moms friend elizabeth is the best, she has organized it and is hosting it and i am so excited because i get to see my friend tessa....just back from the swap and not only did i get to see tessa, i got to see cassidy and jude and all kinds of other kids, it was awesome, and mom got me some shweet new (gently used) schtuff for free!!! and got to clena out the basement in the process (see you just take anything you no longer need and then put it out and then take whatever you want that is there--all free...it is the best)...hope all is well, love to all...there will probably not be another post before we come home next week, so we are so super excited to see everyone and show off all my new skills and words...be careful, i climb stairs!
