We bought Jacob the cutest kiddie pool last summer that we used from early June - and FINALLY got it blown up and started using it today - mid-July! Josh said that, with how big Jacob is now, we'll need something bigger next summer and little Ruth will get this cute, little pool. Jacob sees a pool and says/signs "BATH!" He LOVES this bath! After we went back inside and were all dry he kept saying/signing, "MORE BATH!?" I can't believe how much he's grown in a year! He seems to FILL the pool this year and yet looked so tiny in it last year. I just love my son and the blessing of being his Mama! I was having one of those "feeling lonely" days - really ever since we got back from Nashville... so, today, we got up and the four of us (Josh, Jacob, me and Baby Ruth) took a walk, got home and blew up the swimming pool and a big exercise ball for me to use for birth class and Jacob to play with, then I was able to talk with 2 good friends - one Gallaudet suitemate on Skype and my Baylor roommate, then I cleaned the shower in our master bath (FINALLY) while Jacob took a 3 1/2 hour nap! Then, it was swimming time! Just had to put my mind to it and it became a productive, great day with me and my boy!
