Summer's in Full Swing!

Alex has really been enjoying summer so far!

The Fourth of July down in DC was very WET! It rained 75 % of the time, but stopped just in time for the fireworks. Although the rain was miserable, we were grateful that it was not sweltering hot - especially when we walked miles to the next Metro stop when the elevator was not working and the lines were too long at the Capitol South stop. We didn't get home until 1:30 am! Alex was a delight - he slept during the whole journey home!

Last weekend, we took Alex to the beach for the first time! He didn't like the water too much, I think it was a little too cold. The waves were way too strong because of Hurricane Bertha out in Bermuda, so we didn't spend too much time in the water - just enough to get a few pictures and video!

He's been having a blast at daycare on "Splash Days". The main lady says he and another girl enjoy it the most and they end up soaked! It doesn't surpise me because he really enjoys bathtime.

At the end of last month he began calling Chris "Daddy". He had been saying it, but not with any real meaning. Still no "Mommy" though! He'll also say "woof" and almost "thank you". He continues to love Pat-a-Cake, Peek-a-Boo, and So Big.
