Jeremy jumping in the pool for the first time

Swimming with cousins

  Today we went to the pool with our cousins, Isabella, Francesca and Claudio.  Jeremy had a blast playing with Claudio and the girls and Haley really enjoyed the girls.  Jeremy normally likes to stay in the shallow end and pour water, but today he finally let me carry him to the deeper end and eventually started jumping in so I could catch him.  Once he realized he could do it, he loved it and wanted to do if over and over again.  There are a few pics from today and I hope to post a video from Jeremy jumping soon.

Beating the heat

 Even though it's been very hot, we have still been trying to keep busy.  We managed to make it to a great newly renovated Franklin Park on the one day it wasn't a hundred degrees.  We have played at US toy, went to Jumping Jax, went to a few Royals game, celebrated a friend's baptism and played with friends and family.  We have also been to the pool and are going again tomorrow.
