Latest Update


Yesterday, we hosted a play date pot luck lunch at our house. We had 3 Moms and Babies over plus ourselves. It was great enjoying the company of nice folks from our neighborhood while babies rolled, crawled, slept, or just swung their arms around.

Bill was very interactive with Lili and Rose. He likes watching other babies and grabbing hands with them.

After everyone left, we got our stuff together and went and checked out the Lake Youngs Trail over in Kent. It is a dirt and gravel trail that follows a fence line around Lake Youngs. The lake is fenced off as a county water source. Inside the fence is very pretty woods. I spied some deer down one of the roads on the other side of the fence. Outside the fence are roads about 60% of the way and the rest is between houses and horse lots. It is a beautiful 9.8 mile trail. I hadn't run in a few days due to a sore throat, so my body suffered through it around a 10 minute/mile pace. I'm hoping to go back with the baby jogger, it should be alot of fun pushing Bill through it assuming the mud dries up this summer.

Today, Mommy had to work. Bill and I hung out at home and cleaned up the backyard a bit. We weeded out front as well. He is starting to get too big for the Snugli chest pack, and dangled in front of my chest as I pulled weeds.
I got the Baby Jogger cleaned up, it didn't clean much but at least I think any germs or extra dirt is gone. After taking lunch to Mommy this afternoon, we went for a quick spin around the
block and it worked great. He needs a pad to push him into the harness a little more, but his head seems to stay reclined back. My main concern is his holding his head up, but lately it seems like he is pretty strong with that so I think we are good to start using it.
Tonight, a nice sunny walk around the neighborhood with Mom and Butch and the red jogger.
