I'll try to be somewhat chronological, from the most recent this morning. This is a first, Vince climbed onto the counter... all because he wanted a cup of milk (don't know how he planned on getting the milk from the fridge after). He's always grabbed chairs/step stools to reach items on the counter, but this is the first time he has succeeded in getting on it!
Vince is starting another swim class that goes through January 2011! This is the 9th straight month that he has been in swim classes and it's important to us that he knows about the water because we have a pool. It's a big committment on our part, but I'm so glad he's graduated to a "super water babies" class and I no longer have to get in! He's doing amazing. He can swim 8 to 10 feet and uses both his arms and legs well. We are now working on him trying to lift his head to get breaths. He can also pick something off the bottom of the pool (if we help push him down), and he pushes off the bottom of the pool with his legs to pop up and get a breath. We've also been working on him getting out of the pool alone by using his elbows/tummy/knees which is why I think he was successful in getting on top of the counter.
Random picture... at Buffalo Wild Wings on a Wednesday night where kids meals are 99 cents! I just so happened to get a kids meal that night too. Talk about a cheap meal!
Next, we celebrated my sister's step-son's birthday a couple weeks ago... notice how Vince doesn't take his eyes off the cake!
And we went to the see Toy Story 3 with our friends Abby and Ethan. Here Ethan and Vince are acting silly sitting in a basket together!
