Busy Summer!

Greetings and sorry for not blogging for a while.  I keep telling my Mommy that she needs to let me get on the computer more often, but she won't listen.  We have had a fun filled summer so far.  So much has happened so bear with me as I try my best to fill you in.

First of all - I transitioned to daycare in June.  It took me a couple of weeks to adjust, but I love going to school and playing with all of my new friends.  There are 4 others in my classroom and they are all girls - lucky me.  My teacher is very nice and we get to play outside every day.  I only cry sometimes in the morning when Mommy leaves for work, but I am always happy when she picks me up at the end of her work day. 

Secondly - BIG NEWS - according to Grandpa Steve - I got my first hair cut.  I sat still in the chair for the lady and she gave me a lollipop!  I look so grown up and my curls are all gone. 

Another big deal - I started and completed swim lessons.  Miss Lydia was my instructor and I wasn't too excited about them at first, but by the end I enjoyed swimming with her.  They ended the first week of July and I can swim and float now.  I love the water and I especially love floating. 

Over the past couple of months I have added quite a few words to my vocabulary and I love to repeat and imitate Mommy.  We spend as much time outside as we can - either walking with Oliver or jogging.  I love to dance to all kinds of music and Mommy just bought me my first laptop. 

And finally - we took a trip to Atlanta over the 4th of July weekend.  I had a great time hanging out with my cousins, aunts, uncles, and Grandpa Steve.  I hope everybody is having a great summer. 

Love, The Mav

Random shots - Mommy says I am pretty silly


One morning Mommy was cooking breakfast and she caught me up on the ottoman reading my book - I've been climbing everywhere since


Another goofy shot


Happy boy

In Atlanta at the pool - it rained every single day, but the sun came out for a few hours on our last day there, so we took advantage
