Slip N Slide

We had a fun cookout with some Alpha Phi sisters -- Christopher played on a slip n slide. I did not think he would like it, but boy was I wrong. He loved it and would run to the slide, then crawl the length of the water slide. Too funny. Good thing the big boys were patient.
Watching Alex slide fast.

So cute

Missy takes great pictures. Of course I forgot my camera. And did not get a picture of Missy, Jen Wilson and me.

We also visited our friends who just had a new baby and Christopher even let me hold her. I asked him if he wanted Momma to have a baby and he said I could just take Lila. I don't think Lila's family would agree. I wish I would have gotten a few pictures, she is super sweet.

I tried to get Christopher's hair trimmed, but all hair dressers were booked. Tony had been telling me he would cut it, and I had been holding off. I gave in and Tony used the clippers on all of Christopher's curls and blond locks. I almost had tears when all the hair started falling to the floor. Tony stopped during the first swipe to see if I was OK, but I said You can't stop now. Tony was joking with my nephew Rodney, telling him it was his turn. Rodney jumped onto the stool - so Tony buzzed him too. They look cute.

Christopher looks so grown up, not like a baby at all. He has been doing a very good job with potty training and tomorrow we are going to go with no diaper at daycare. Daycare said they are ready for him - I think that will be helpful for me. But I need to keep it up all weekend. Sometimes diapers are easier, for me. But it will be great when I no longer have butt duty.

Summer Fun

Christopher loves Leo and talks about him all the time. Leo is a water boy and jumps right in the pool but Christopher just wanted to sit on the edge and kick water. Leo's dad was Tony's room mate in college. It is funny to see this picture of both of them as Daddies.

This picture reminds me of my brother Bill - he use to wear cowboy boots and underroos when we were kids. Christopher was dancing all around the house in this outfit.

Grandpa Joe bought this horse for Christopher for his Birthday and for 6 months he would pet it but would not get on it. One day last week, he climbed on it by himself and started riding.

For the Fourth of July there was a parade in town. Christopher liked it because it had firetrucks, ambulances, and horsey cars (that is a Mustang). Then we went to the Obermeyer's for a cookout. While the dads shot off fireworks the moms and boys hide under an umbrella from the rain. The little boys liked a few of the small fireworks but would not look up in the air to see the larger ones.

Christopher and Leo play so well together.

Christopher made this "4th of July" shirt at school.
