D-Mo trying to be like Nemo.

As the mercury hit 89 degrees, last weekend, we decided it would be a good time for a swim. We weren't suer how Dylan would like it, but after the 1st step, then the 2nd, and as he was attempting to go to the 3rd step which was head high on him, we began to realize, "this kid really likes the water!". Then, after he got out on the sidewalk and was jumping into Momma's arms without hesitation, we decide it was time to get some floaties. So, I made a quick trip to town, and retrieved some arm floaties and a jetski floatie he could sit in. He loved them! He hasn't quite figured out how to kick, yet, but he's working on it. My guess is he will be swimming at the end of this summer.

Swimming wore us all out. D-Mo needed a nap, but of course was not ready to get out of the pool. If we had let him, he would have taken his nap in the pool. He got comfortable in his jetski and was on his way. It was a good weekend, and we're looking forward to teaching him to swim this summer.

Cheeeeez!

Dylan has discovered "cheese". No, not cutting the cheese. He 's been doing that for a long time, now. Somehow, he has discovered that when a camera is pointed at him to smile and say, "Cheeeeeeez". Below are formal pics taken last month when he first learned this new trick. Now, he's cheezin' for real. He recently joined the doctors and nurses at The Clinic for group pics. As the story goes, everyone was worried about getting Dylan to look at the camera and smile. Well, as it turns out, he became the center of everyone's attention by putting on a "cheezin" show for the camera. I haven't seen the pictures, yet, but I just know Dylan will be the only person looking at the camera...while everyone else is smiling, laughing, and looking at him. Doc and Mrs. Patti, I'm interested in seeing those pics when you get them. :)

These pics are a couple of months old, but I wanted to share them with everyone. He's making Daddy proud...sleeping with his ball. He'll make an athlete, yet. We'll give him until August, and then we'll start two-a-days. My goal is to have him dunking by age 3, hitting homeruns by 4, and winning the punt, pass, and kick contest by age 5. Then we can start the weight lifting program! :)
