Pool Time

Today Hank got to swim at a neighborhood pool. He liked his floatie for all of one minute before refusing to use it again. He only wanted Mommy to hold him on the side of the pool while he practiced swimming and even putting his face in the water.

So Hank let Jennie borrow the floatie for the remainder of the time. Jennie thought the floatie was a great way to relax!

Between Hank's brief periods of time in the pool, he crab crawled around everywhere, climbed on chairs, watched a cat, and occasionally took a break to snack.

Good times!

Lookin' Like His Daddy

At 16 months old, it is very clear that someone takes after his Daddy!

Hank's First Steps

Although they are very intermittent and few,

Hank took his first steps (2-3) into Mommy's arms today.

It won't be long before Hank's a walker!

Bye, Bye High Chair

I now eat at the big boy's table! REALLY!!

Highchairs are for babies, not for me!

New Friends Already!

It's our first week in Lafayette and Hank has already made a new friend!

Jennie lives just down the street. Looks like play dates are already underway!!

Settling In . . .

We moved away from the mountains this past weekend and we are now settling into our temporary home in Lafayette.

Hank has adjusted beautifully and loves the heat and playing with water outdoors on the deck. Here's to all types of new adventures coming our family's way!

Goodbye Hike with Suzanne and Brody

Today we took our last hike in Evergreen before moving out of our mountain home. As excited as we are to see whether we return to the mountains or settle near Boulder, we will miss so much about the life we've built here over the past 5 plus years.

We will especially miss Brody and Suzanne, my dear friend and my honorary mom.

After hiking for an hour, it was time for our last dip in Bear Creek.

While Hank just got his feet wet, Radar and Brody took it all in. Radar will miss his buddy so much.

Here's to memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Suzanne and Brody for filling them with laughter and love over these past couple of years.
