Swimming, Shower, & Shoes

Jay and I took advantage of a beautiful 80+ degree day on Thursday this week and met up with our friends, Katie and Audrey, for some swimming! Here are the two cuties (Jay and Audrey) hanging out on the swim towels before our hour long dip in the cool, refreshing pool. (Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the pool!) It took Jay more than half an hour to finally not act like a wet cat in water and to let go of my halter strap on my swimsuit. Once he relaxed he had a great time. Audrey LOVES the water - she splashes, jumps, kicks, and smiles. She has had more pool time/experience and it shows.

Saturday morning Matt and I ran some errands around town. We stopped at Ross Dress for Less and found a cute (and good priced) pair of shoes for this guy who is on the go! Once we got home we put them on him. It was pretty hilarious watching him try to walk with them on for the first time. You could tell he had to get used to the new "heavy" shoes on his feet. It was like he had to learn to walk again. He got the feel for them on his feet pretty quick, though, and started his normal "run" around the condo. Here are a few pictures of him trying to decide if he really wanted them on his feet.

Saturday afternoon I enjoyed some "girl time" and stole away to Katie's house where she hosted a BABY shower for our friend, Tristan, who is due with her baby boy in September (only about 9 more weeks until she is full term). (Gotcha with the title - hope you weren't hoping for pictures of our bathroom shower!)

Matt and Jay hung out that afternoon and enjoyed a Jamba Juice treat (Jay slurped down a good 1/4 or more of the cup) and then they played in the park. Jay had fun walking in the park in his new shoes pushing the stroller (his new favorite thing to do).

Here is a photo of Tristan at the baby shower...

We enjoyed a very lazy afternoon together today after church. Here is a picture of my guys chillin' on the couch.

Jay had brought his shoes into Dad in the living room to play with them for a bit. After he was done playing with them Matt said to Jay, "Take these out and put your shoes by the door, buddy." I watched as Jay then picked up his shoes, made a small detour "swing" through the kitchen, and walked to the entryway. This is the result. It reminded us once again Jay understands way more than we think he does. What a good boy!

Jay impressed us with where he put his shoes!

Isn't this the cutest? He put his shoes down just like this
