Fun New Things

Now that Johnny is a bit older we've been able to go out more and do fun things with him. We've discovered that he loves swimming. We've gone 3 times with him now and he hates it when it's time to get out of the pool. It's so cute how he plays in the water, he rides in a baby floatie and splashes us. Sometimes we hold him in the water and he kicks his legs really hard to go where he wants. We were at my sister in law, Jefrilyns house a couple weeks ago and noticed that Johnny likes trying to walk with one of those walkers you stand and hold onto and then push it. We found a nice one at the D.I. a few days later and he's been loving that too. He likes to have it in the sitting position right now though and to try and ride it. Johnny thought it was really fun to sit and ride in the laundry basket when I was doing laundry the other day, it was so cute, he held on really tight while I pulled him around the livingroom and kept laughing really hard. I was trying to nurse Johnny for as long as I could and was hoping to make it to a year without starting solids. He started wanting to eat more and more though and was acting hungrier all the time. So, I started giving him bananas in the mornings and peas in the evenings and that seems to make a big difference. He still nurses, it's just not taking so much out of me now and he's getting the extra food he needs. He loves the peas and says "mmm, mmm" the whole time he eats them. He got banana all over his forhead in this picture and I thought it was so cute.
