fathers day

i want to wish jeremy a happy first fathers day.  he is such a great father to desmond and  it is so awesome to see how much they adore each other.  i love you jeremy and am so grateful to have you as my partner in parenting.  i truly couldn't ask for a better husband, father, and best friend. 

so close

he is trying so hard to crawl.  he can get up on all fours but then it usually ends in a belly flop. i'm not pushing it too hard though.  he seems like a handful now.  once he crawls, i'll spend most of my day chasing after him.  

auntie em

this past weekend my sister emily came to visit.  it was so fun to have her here.  we didn't do anything major, just bummed around the city, ate good food and hung out with the dez.  she just left a few hours ago, but i miss her already.  

poor kid

yesterday my sister and i took desmond to our pool.  long story short; he wasn't so thrilled about it.  i think it was a number of things.  one, it was super bright outside and desmond hates that.  two, the water was kind of cold.  three, and probably the biggest problem of all was that i had layered a thick coat of sunblock on his face and he started to rub his eyes when we got out in the sun and rubbed all of that sunblock right into his eyes.  ouch.  he started to cry and well, that was the end of that.  we brought him back upstairs and gave him a popsicle to make him feel better.  poor little guy. 

*to all of you mothers.  how do you put sunblock on your kids face and not get it in their eyes?
