Week 26

This week was quite a busy one for us. Kevin flew out to DC for a few days, leaving August, the dogs, and I to fend for ourselves. We survived pretty well because we had somewhat of a schedule we needed to follow. It's beyond ridiculously hot here these days, so we knew we had to get up after August's morning bottle and do our long walk for the day. I unsuccessfully tried to do some work during the days, but that is proving much more difficult to do with each passing week. We also had August's 6 month visit with his pediatrician. But the biggest event was that August and I started swim lessons! I signed him up with the city for a two week long, entry level, get acquainted with the water class, for 6-18 month olds. I guess most people with newborns are a bit hesitant to sign their babies up, because we are by far the only 'baby' in the class. I never thought I would consider an 18 month old to be a big kid, but you can tell the difference between the rest of the munchkins and August. Not that it isn't fun though, we've had a great time playing in the water, kicking, learning to float, and getting used to having our heads and faces wet. We only made it to 3 of the 4 classes this week, but I can already tell a difference with how much more he enjoy's his bath time and doesn't panic as much when his face is wet. Since I've been in the water with him, I haven't been able to snap any pictures but hope to have some next week. Until then, here are a few from this week to hold you over.
