Baby Talk

With all this baby talk, and the fact that I can't imagine my own babies that tiny, I scrolled back to try to remember.

Follow this link to reminisce with me about Alexander's first few months alive (apparently, I was too busy to blog often back then...), http://eesm.blogspot.com/2009/03/im-back-bold-statement-after-just-one.html.

And look at pictures of William's first day in the cold Wild & Wonderful, http://eesm.blogspot.com/2012/01/introducing-baby-brother-william.html

February 20, 2010

Alexander's scheduled February Swim Lessons got off to a slow start. The first lesson was canceled after ten inches of snow. And the second was postponed after Mama bought plane tickets to Mardi Gras.

But today Papa & Zander finally dove in! Well, Z kinda toddled around the deck for a while watching the older kids tied up with noodles. Then he tickled his big toe in the shallow end for a while and finally crawled down to the second step. The babe couldn't wiggle around it anymore, it was time to swim.

Zander was the littlest pollywog, so he didn't always follow along with the kicking, splashing, jumping & blowing, but he did great for being so young. After multiple bath time breakdowns with Baby Galya, we were pretty happy with Zander's tearless success...

Lessons are only 1x week, but hopefully Mama will break the snowy boredom a few snowy mornings or meet Papa after work for a quick splashdown.

365 Days a Week

Papa & I have been so blessed over the last 365 days of Zander. When D first felt the babe kick in my belly & heard Baby Boris' heartbeat through the mattress, Papa could've never imagined what happiness the real thing would bring us.

365 days & 3 hours later, we can't imagine life without our little poopsic. We love you baby Alexander!
