John Meets His New Sister

 Cosette was born November 15, 2017 at 6:48 PM. She weighs 6 lbs. 7 oz and is 20.5 inches long. John absoletly loves is baby sister. He helps feed her and sings to her.

Medieval Times

We went to Southern California last weekend for our last family trip before the baby is born! Our first night there we went to this castle called Medieval Times where they do a dinner and jousting show with horses and Knights. John absolutely LOVED it! It was even more fun watching him watch the show!

Night Storm

John sneaked into the Montessori room and practiced Night Storm on the piano when we was supposed to be doing homework. :) I'm glad he likes playing so much!

Bossa Nova Breakdancing

I heard music coming from down the hall when John was supposed to be working on homework in the kitchen. I went to investigate and saw him practicing his sweet dance moves to some smooth Jazz. Hahaha! I love it!

Halloween

John was invited to go Trick-or-Treating with his 2nd-grader friend, Emma. So we met at her house around 6 PM, snapped some photos, then went around her neighborhood for 2 hours getting candy! John ended up with so much candy that it filled 2 gallon-sized Ziploc bags!

Superman Diver

Little J grew fins overnight! Or maybe he just snuck into Daddy's new body surfing fins. Either way, he looks so totally awesome!

Swim Lesson Update

Little J is working hard in his swim lessons. They switched him to a new teacher and he's really progressing. She's kind, but firm and keeps him from goofing around too much. :)

In this clip, he's practicing "rocket arm" with kicks. He goes all the way across the pool.


In this clip, he's practicing his freestyle arm strokes with kicks. He needs to bring his arms out of the water with each stroke. He's picking it up quickly!


 In this clip, he's practicing his knee dives and going straight into freestyle arm strokes. He's still belly-flopping but he loves it!
