Summer, Summer, Summertime...

While I know I will be complaining in about 2 more weeks about the unbearable heat, I am excited to say that it's summertime around here. Our house has sunblock everywhere in every form (stick, lotion and spray), we have floats, towels and swimsuits hanging all around the house. Baby pool hanging up in the garage and coolers have been pulled out for the summer! Makes me want to listen to Will smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff singing/rapping (hence the title of the entry).

I think what also makes it more fun this summer is that Joshua is starting to enjoy going to the pool. I was a little worried about how he was going to do because as we all know, he is the cautious one. But our neighborhood pool has a little beach entrance and he can wade in the water at 6 inches, so he is getting comfortable with the motion of the water. He is also starting to enjoy me pulling him around the pool and he likes to very gently dip his face in the water. There is also this great section of spray water and fountains, so he likes to play there too. So, I'm looking forward to going to the pool with him. But I am taking it slow and we aren't signed up for swim lessons until later in the summer!

Here's a picture of him wading around in the shallow part of the pool. I didn't realize how much he had thinned out and gotten taller until I saw him in this picture.

That sounds soooooooo fun!! I can't wait to get back to TX for the summertime at the pool! Wow, he is thinned out and so tall too. What a handsome guy! Todd would be so happy to hear of all your sunscreen all over the house! Be sure to wear your hat too :)

I know you are glad that he is finally adjusting to the pool. He'll be a water bug in no time. He's looking so much older!
