Well I know I skipped over telling you all the details of my Birthday at Mr. A's
 |
| Oh yeah- we even did shots, got free t-shirts and went dancing |
And Fathers Day came and went without a blog update..
-- Ok so a few details about his special day.
We spent it with Jim and Candi celebrating mine and Jim's Birthday- and 2 very special Dads.
Greg is an amazing Father and every time I watch him with Luke I love him more and more!
But keeping in time with the season- Independence day came and went and I have barely had time to blink.
Luke is keeping us very very busy now a days. He is so much fun and really is the happiest baby alive. (I swear).
I also swear he is the best swimmer in his swim class. I told Greg this today and he just laughed at me. But really he has started swimming his arms and legs together - he goes under and holds his breath without swallowing a gallon of water. And he has a smile on his face the whole time.
But back to the 4th of July.
The 4th is probably my favorite holiday, next to Christmas, of course.
I remember it as a kid growing up in Iowa. It was always a big event for our family.
We had the tradition of going to the Clear Lake Parade during the day then a big bbq in the afternoon and of course the fair and finishing off the night watching a sky full of fireworks.
Now I know San Diego has much more going on than the small town in Iowa - but sometimes it is just too much to choose from.
But after this year I realized all you really need are some good friends, family, a bit of BBQ, a pool of course- and what 4th of July would be complete without a Fire Truck.
So that is our new tradition for the last 2 years. Thanks to Mike and Sarah we are lucky enough to have all the parts to equal a fun 4th holiday.
We spent all day on the 4th at Mike and Sarah's pool with lots of friends.
And finished it off with a neighborhood block party complete with .. you guessed it.. A Fire Truck.
And on the tail wind of the holiday that blew by- Luke started taking his first steps assisted by his "walker".
I really feel like he has changed a lot over the last few weeks. He is starting to look less baby and more like a little man.
He is also developing quite the vocabulary. Well at least he has the basics.
DaDa and NaNa (for Mama) are the noises that now fill our house everyday.
My Mom comes out next week and I am so excited for her to see him. Because our schedule is slower at work during the summer I am even able to have a few days off while she is here. So expect lots of visits to Sea World and the Zoo. Hooray Summer!
