22 months!

Sadly I missed the actual day, and got a pretty lame picture today, but Jayden is officially 22 months.  I do know that he's not two yet, but he seems so old.  He's so funny.  He gets jokes - and even if he doesn't, he laughs anyway if other people are laughing.  We turned on music today and he was dancing all over the living room.  For 25 seconds, until it was time to play "choo-choo-tain" on the "cow-ch."

He was a master in the swimming pool today.  He probably spent half his lesson underwater.  Stacy was telling us she is so impressed with his progress.  When he flops into the water, he lets his back legs float up and he actually sort of floats.  He also understands that when he jumps in, he can let himself float to the top of the water.  He's still really stiff and struggles to move his arms or kick his legs, but at least he's comfortable in the water.  That means he'll get the whole movement thing soon enough.  Stacy said fighting the fear of sinking is the hardest thing, so we're already doing great.  Yay.  One of these Saturdays I'll have to sit out so I can take some pictures and/or video.  He pretty much always has a smile during swim lessons, except when Stacy is looking at him, of course.  He just loves the water.  After swim lessons we let him shower and we had to fight him to get out of the shower.  He watches what we do in the shower and tries to do the same thing, turning in circles, rubbing his head, etc.   We'll practice again tomorrow, so maybe I'll get some pictures/video then.

In the meantime, here's what I got today:

Passed OUT in the car.  We knew it would happen and instead of being good parents and getting him to sleep in his bed, we totally took advantage of it and had a nice calm lunch together while he slept in his stroller.  Oh well.  We'll figure out the sleep in the crib thing one of these days!
