Our little man can not stay still 🙂 Crawling and climbing have been his favorite things to do these days. Over the last month, he has worked diligently trying to stand up against the ottoman — boy has that paid off now that he can successfully pull himself up and he surprises himself everytime. He is even walking completely around the ottoman, slowly but surely! With all of this exercise, Jimmy now weighs 20 pounds and you can even see the muscle on his legs!

Jimmy is amused most of the day by Dunder. When Dunder ‘stands tall’ looking out the window, Jimmy thinks this is the most hysterical sight. He laughs so hard that he has tears running down his cheeks! He also likes climbing on Dunder; however, we think that Dunder only tolerates it because he knows that he will get a treat when he plays nicely with Jimmy.

Aunt Meg has been hanging out with Jimmy this summer, while Angie goes into the office. On Mommy’s days off, Little Jimmy goes on field trips! This month, he has gone to the library, our local parks, a museum, and a local indoor playground.

Jimmy celebrated the Fourth of July weekend at the shore. Although he didn’t make it to water’s edge, he did get the chance to put his feet in the sand. While exploring town at the shore, we learned he is even big enough to use one of the restaurant’s high chairs. You can see the excitement in his face being able to sit at the table with everyone else.

Jimmy also coordinated a birthday party for his best buddy, Dunder! Dunder turned three years old on July 15th. Jimmy went shopping with Mommy and Aunt Abbie to pick out Dunder’s birthday collar which is navy blue with lobsters on it. How appropriate 🙂

Jimmy now smiles with two bottom teeth 😀 Teething was rough, but thank goodness for his giraffe teether, Sophie. We only have 18 more teeth to go! Currently, Jimmy’s favorite foods are the chicken and rice combo dinner and bananas. When it comes to breakfast, we don’t know where it goes but he eats more oatmeal than we do in the morning. He hasn’t figured out the sippy cup concept yet, but he just started learning to drink from a big boy glass (Reflo glass). We think he wore more of the water than he drank, but he loved it!
