Our Little Fish

To describe our summer I would say has been BUSY spent visiting family and friends, going to the pool ALOT, working on Drake's big boy room (post coming soon!) and the nursery, and trying to stay cool out of this Texas heat. I have never been pregnant in the summer and this has been a brutal one to say the least!! I think we are going on 50+ days of being over 100 degrees, plus humidity with out any rain which results to be a big sweaty mess, water regulations and everything dying!! So Drake and I have tried hard to stay busy having fun.

Drake has been a little fish! This summer has been so fun taking him to the pool because he just goes off once his floaties are on and jumps in and doesn't stop! He probably jumps in about 20 times every time we go to the pool, it's his favorite thing!

I have to document that Drake's speech has taken off the last month and a half! He speaks!! Not that he didn't before, he would talk all day long, but now we can understand what he is saying. Every week he is picking up new words and putting them together. He will say "Mommy, where are you!" or "Hold you" wanting us to hold him, I love it! He is talking even more than that, those are my favorites. We have also branched our media selection going from just Elmo to now liking Jungle Book and Sword in the Stone. Yay! I was getting a little crazy in the head with Elmo! Drake is just a little sponge right now and learning so much which is so fun to watch. He sings his ABC's, I am a Child of God (I love it!), Twinkle twinkle Little Star, Row Row Row Your Boat, Popcorn Popping, Ei-Ei- Oh (aka Old MacDonald), Wheels on the Bus, Monkey/Alligator song...all with hand motions. He counts to 15 and loves to read books. He is at such a fun age and I have to add that he travels so well, thank goodness for the iPad!! Now if we can just get him potty trained before this little girl gets here!!
