Ready to start class.

Cruz has his first swim lesson today. Our teacher, Jessica, said he did awesome for his first lesson. We sang songs, dunked underwater, learned to back and tummy float and discovered how to use a swim noodle. Watch out olympics... here we come!

Aunt Sam!

Aunt Sam had a visit with us a few weekends ago... we just love her! Thank you Aunt Pam & Uncle John for the too cute strawberry hat.

Dog In Baby Out!

San Diego Zoo or Bust!

During our week vacation to San Diego we spent a day at the zoo with Aunt Helen and her family. Cruz loved the animals. Towards the end of the day he was getting pretty good and finding the animals in each enclosure... he would point to animal as soon as he found it. His absolute favorite was the meerkats, the enclosure had windows close to the ground so the kids could view them and their was a meerkat digging a hole in front of Cruz, he was cracking up. 

We're 10 Months Old.

We were camping on Cruz's 10 month b-day so I'm posting pictures from our annual family camping trip to San Clemente State Beach. Cruz can now stand unsupported and he took his first steps this week, he's so close to walking! He still loves music, and dances at least once a day. He favorite things are cars that he can crawl and roll along the ground, avocados, shaking his head "no" to every thing and person, and I discovered he loves the ocean. As soon as I introduced him to the ocean he kept crawling down to where the waves break. We also discovered he doesn't like dirt... we set up a play yard on the site with astro turf and Cruz never left the safety of the grass. He really enjoyed camp life and spending some quality time with family!
