Summer is Coming

Last night was so fun at swimming lessons.  Conrad is trying so hard to kick and splash to get where he needs to go.  he seems to love it.  The best was when we did "Humpty Dumpty" where you put the child on the side of the pool and they jump in, for the first time last night if I took my hands back off of him and just said to come to me he would lean forward and "jump" into the pool and my arms.  It has been nice just getting him into the water and having fun doing something different than the toys at home.

Conrad is also working on another tooth, a 5th.  The lateral incisor, so right next to the top front the one between your front teeth and your canine.  It is on the top right.  He has been a lot better this week than the last two when he was seeming to really be having a hard time with all of his teeth coming in, it was all just so much at once.

He is really really close with crawling.  He gets up on his knees now and he can crawl backwards.  He gets around but it is more of a wiggle around over here then over there and before you know it he has moved from one place to another but not with purpose and direction, so he doesn't really know he is doing it.  He really wants to stand too.  He is very close to pulling up on his own.  Actually I think he can do it but isn't very good at it and wants the help.  He has also actually stood on his own but only when he is very close to whatever he is standing at and doesn't really realize he is doing it.

Work is calming down a bit.  We are headed into a slower time of year.  Of course with people out on vacations and the traveling and family stuff we have coming up we will still be busy and I am sure the time will fly by very quickly.
