We have had a beautiful few days in Landmark and Thomas and I have gone swimming! It was his first time in a swimming pool and he liked it a lot. He looked so cute in his swimming suit. It will be so much fun next summer when he can walk and we can play at the park! Chris has been working evenings this week which makes for some long days for me, but he's off on Monday! I booked a spa day for myself on Tuesday which should be very nice. Chris is looking after Thomas - Yeah!:) Today we're just hanging out at home and working on naps. Not going so good right now as Thomas is crying in the background, but he will fall asleep eventually!

Thomas has found his toes! I was wondering when it would happen and it did just the other day. Now he's putting them in his mouth all the time! Nap time is not going well, but I hope it's just a phase. Poor baby was so tired today: ) At least he's sleeping through the night! I'm keeping busy with seeing friends and visiting family. We visited Great-grandpa today and that was fun! He loves seeing Thomas (and me). We're also heading out to Bird's Hill for church on Sunday. Should be fun and it looks like there's going to be great weather. Thank goodness since the weather this summer has been horrible. It feels weird to not go back to work this fall, but I know I'll enjoy being with Thomas. I'm signing up for some fitness classes with him! Gotta lose the last few pounds.

What a night last night! The thunder was so loud, and it actually hailed. The storm woke me up, but not Thomas! This past week has been a great week of visiting friends and a trip to Grand Forks. Thomas made his first trip out of Canada yesterday and he did great. He only got fussy and annoyed the last couple hours of our car ride home. He spent most of the last hour in the car yelling and blowing bubbles - I think he had had enough of the car seat! He was so good all day, though, even in plus 34 weather! When we got home and I put him on the floor to stretch out, he was sooooooo happy:) He is moving so well on the floor - turning circles and pushing himself up so high. I'm pretty sure he'll be crawling in the next month or month and a half. I also tried today giving him some rice cereal today since he gagged up the sweet potatoes I tried last week. I made it nice and runny, but he still wouldn't eat it. So, I'm thinking he's not quite ready for food, even though he liked the bananas. We'll try again next week. Not much planned for this week-end, just hanging out at home.

Last night was the first night I didn't feed Thomas at night, and he did great! He only fussed for a few minutes at 11:30 and 3 and then for about 45 minutes at 4:30. We'll see how tonight goes. Thank goodness he wasn't up for an hour at night like he was a couple nights ago. I peeked my head in his room and he was playing in his crib at 1:30 in the morning! What a little stinker:) I am so glad it's sunny and hot - finally! I enjoyed sitting on my deck and reading a book this afternoon for a bit. I love summer!!

I don't think Thomas likes sweet potato! I put him in his high chair and gave him a few spoonfuls, but he made gagging sounds. Oh, well. I'll try again in a couple days. He also has managed to grab his toes in the last couple days. Pretty soon they'll be in his mouth! Napping today has been going so well, even though I have to get up early at 6 or 6:30 when he wakes up. I figured out I was letting him sleep too long at night, which was messing up his naps. So many things to figure out. Happy Anniversary to Chris and Me - 5 years today!!

So, I decided to start a blog to keep my friends and family updated with our life in Landmark! Life has been good lately, except for all the rainy weather - here's hoping next week will be sunny and warm. Life with Thomas has been a lot of fun lately. He is growing and learning every day. He just mastered jumping in his jolly jumper and is quite light on his feet! He likes to show off his jumping. I've also started giving him some solid food and he seems to like it a lot! It was interesting to find bananas and sweet potato in his diaper. I think he'll like eating. We're also working on napping. Today has been a great day for naps! I guess I just need to be home for his naps so he doesn't get so tired. Well, off to make supper.
