Jay and I had quite the weekend! We left Friday to go to Miles and stay with my parents for Allegra's baptism. We saw a lot of relatives and friends. We did spend a lot of time in the car, however. We did have a good time and enjoyed ourselves. In three weeks, we will be celebrating Jay's baptism in Andover and making the trip once more.
I was asked if Jason and I posed Jay in the picture to the right. The answer is no, he did that himself. Most of the time when we feed him, he puts at least his left arm back like that, but that time both of them went back. He's such a ham!
Here is a video of the first time Jay went swimming. The water was a little chilly at first, but once you were in it, it wasn't so bad.

Back At It
So, at the suggestion of Jason, I am now using Firefox to blog as opposed to Internet Explorer. Seems Firefox will let me post. I'll just have to remember to use Firefox for blogging!
Things have been pretty tame around here. Jay and I are having lunch on Wednesdays with the Baby Talk parents. We walk to a park and play with the other babies, then walk home. Jay usually falls asleep on the way back. We still don't have a nap/sleep schedule worked out yet, but it seems to be getting a little more routine, when he takes more than a 10 minute nap. We do love to play with him! And he loves to play with us!
I'm still looking for an at home job. It seems to be hard to get the experience everyone wants when no one is willing to hire you. I still have a few applications to fill out and some reports to transcribe, so we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I'm having a wonderful time watching Jay grow and develop.

More Visitors
Monday we were lucky to have Mom and Dad come visit us. We didn't do much when they got here Monday, but a lot of the stuff they had planned to do didn't work out either. One thing they did get to do was hold Jay. Tuesday we made a visit to Reiman Gardens and saw a lot of butterflies, flowers and other plants. Wednesday they headed down to Des Moines. They wore Jay out because he spent a lot of those days taking extra long naps.
Friday, Jason and I dropped Jay off with Grandma and Grandpa Peterson so we could go to the Iowa State fair. At the fair, I talked with some of the Brown Swiss people I knew, did some working exhibits, walked the barns, ate at the pork and beef tent and did a lot of walking. It ended up being a really nice day at the fair. A little overcast in the morning and fairly sunny in the afternoon and not supper hot or humid. Considering the 70% chance rain and the big front moving through Iowa that day, we were really lucky.
Jay had a good time with Grandma and Grandpa. They read books and sang. I guess they wore him out too since they said he napped a lot. I'm glad he was good for them and talked and smiled while he was there.
Saturday, Jason, Jay, our friend Adam and I went to visit our friend Tabitha since she wasn't able to go to the fair with us on Friday. She had one of her wisdom teeth pulled Friday afternoon. We grilled out for lunch and played some card and board games. We ended up getting home late, so we've been taking Sunday pretty easy. I think the most strenuous thing I've done so far is giving Jay a bath. And that's always more fun than work.
