Taking it easy...

Well, today has just been a day to take it easy.  We didn't go to the gym, but just took our time eating breakfast, played and cleaned up, then headed to the pool for an hour before lunch.  LJ loves the pool!  He had me chasing him all around - he'd run straight to me, into the pool.  I try to get him to walk, but he doesn't seem to understand yet.  We swam, looked at the fountain, sat in chairs...just enjoyed a little while outside.  

For lunch, he had a bit of pasta, some chicken and a kiwi.  We took Rookie out to lay at the water, then he took a good nap.  He usually wakes up within an hour of laying down, but if I lay down with him, he can get a good nap in.  

When he woke up, we headed back to the water to pay with Rookie and look for ducks.  I brought my good camera -- that's where most of the pictures from today were taken.  That and inside while we were eating dinner.  He drank some of his milk out of his "big boy" cup today.  Usually he doesn't like the way it tastes, but it didn't seem to bother him today.  He drank about half of a cup before we put the rest in his sippy.  

He's talking more - saying things like "more tea", "hold you", "rookie...walk", "duck...eat".  He has no problem letting me know what he needs, and I think that is so cool.  We had a good, easy day.  I kept thinking he'd get bored, but he seemed to enjoy just lounging with mom.  I know he wouldn't like it every day, but we watched some Blue's Clues and Diego together, talking about what we saw.  It really was nice.  I've felt tired today, and I think he has, too, so it was just what we needed.

I hope you got what you needed today as well.  I'm going to put this computer up and get him in the bath before we take Rookie for his final outing of the night.  We miss and love you!  

Lance - see you Sunday night!  

Love,

Jamie
