Time to Say Goodbye

Last weekend our neighborhood pools closed for the winter. So sad. It was still hot on Saturday, so we went for one last swim. Cannon and I had gone swimming earlier that week and I was boasting to Ryan how Cannon would jump off the step, swim out, turn around, and swim back to the step all by himself. Since this effort took every bit of energy he had, he could only do it two or three times during our first five minutes of being in the water and he couldn't do it again during the rest of our swim time. I really wanted Ryan to witness this feat of strength and I really wanted to get it on video. Of course, with Ryan being present, Cannon acted like he had forgotten everything about swimming.

We have had such fun swimming this summer. I'm sad the pools are closed, but maybe we'll find an indoor pool to continue swimming. The other thing I really enjoyed this summer was getting to ride our bike to the pool. It made it so fun and easy. Cannon LOVES riding in his bike seat and luckily that is something we can keep doing all year round.


Despite the look on his face, he was really excited about going for a ride.

Blast From the Past

I remembered that I had some of Ryan's baby clothes in my cedar chest, so I pulled them out to see if they would fit Cannon yet. I'm glad I remembered, otherwise I would have missed out on this sweet opportunity.

I have also come to the conclusion the Cannon is looking more and more like Ryan everyday. Don't get me wrong, I think I am in the mix somewhere.


That curly fro, now where have I seen that before? Hmmm.





That's me at a year old. Cannon obviously has me beat in the hair and teeth department.


Just turned two here.

He's Growing Up!

And way too fast! Here's the proof:


He likes football games now!


Last year he didn't.


He has huge feet! Maddi's foot on the left (13 months old), Cannon's foot on the right (16 months old).


Not only has he learned to pick his own nose, he knows how to pick donkey noses as well.


And he gets to wear cool outfits like this.

The word on the street is "uh-oh," which suits him well since he's usually caught in an uh-oh kind of activity.

I never could imagine that he could get cuter everyday! Oh how I love this guy!

This..

...is what makes grocery shopping possible.



Yes, he is wearing cowboy boots. He's cool like that.
