The Natural Swimmer

This was only Des' second time in a pool and it is pretty clear he knows what he is supposed to do.

G

des definitely takes after his fish of a daddy in that regard. gavin will probably have him SCUBA certified by the time he's cut all of his teeth...whereas mommy prefers to hang out on the dry part of the ocean...what's that called again? oh, yeah, the beach. we'll get there again someday!

Doing What a Baby Does

I got the Excersaucer for TEN DOLLARS off of craiglist. It could be the best tenner I ever spent. It seems that it also helps D work some things out on his own (ifyouknowwhutimsayin).

yeah, you may need to crank up the audio to fully appreciate what's going on "below the surface" in this particular video. tamra swears that the exersaucer is the perfect poo expediter...they should really market it as such to parents...it's a hidden perk!

First Meal (2 Months Ago)

I know. I know. We are way behind. Blah blah blah. Enjoy.

by the way, the "mush" des is eating is rice cereal mixed with breast milk. yummmmm. he's since moved on to avocado, banana, sweet potato, butternut squash, oatmeal, pear, carrots, tofu, and zucchini, and does well with them all (even if he does make some funny faces when he first tastes them). i also have to add that we've learned how to feed a baby much more efficiently since that first day...and so has "heavy-D"...he now eats about ten times as fast!
