Jumping on the Bed

Hey Everyone! Our internet is doing much better today (although our power- and the water too- have gone out twice) so I thought I'd put up a video of our (mostly) happy little guy. Peter is jumping on the bed and tickling his belly in case you are wondering what he is laughing about. So our day today was good. We got up at 5:30 right on schedule, had some b'fast, and went for a walk before it got too hot. Then we hung out in the blazing hot apartment all day and went for another walk after it cooled down tonight. A pretty uneventful day. I'm sure it sounds boring to you but I can tell you that we were never bored- our guy won't let us sit still! We did have a first today though- we gave him his first bath ever. I kind of thought that he might be freaked out but he wasn't. He just basically attacked the water. Him sit and tentatively splash around? No way. Instead, he pretty much pushed me aside and tried his hardest to do a faceplant into the water where he then went insane and tried to beat at it with the stacking cups. He was flinging water all around the bathroom in his frenetic attack. He wasn't laughing or even smiling but I think that he was perplexed by it because he had his Concentrating Face on. He has seen water of course but they don't give them actual bath at the BH but just kind of run them under the faucet to clean them off. We tried to get a video but it didn't come out so well. We'll try again tomorrow when it's Peter's turn to get in with him. He is a totally insane. I hope you are all having a good weekend! -m

You'll never be bored again!! Or be completely rested, or finish a meal, or have leisure time to read. For a decade or so.

And you'll never do anything more rewarding either. Enjoy the trip!

Coming down the stretch! You'll be home before you know it.
Keep that boy clean....when he gets home to DC, he will soon learn the dirtier the better.
I love the fact that he attacks the bath water....means he is all boy !!!
