Tuesday

On Tuesday John-Paul and I tried out the local kiddie pool. I was excited to finally get a chance to watch John-Paul play on the cool slides and other water toys, but after a few minutes of "playing" (this could read "falling") in the kiddie pool I realized that he isn't old enough for those toys yet. So we gathered our stuff and went to the splash pad next to the pool.

In the end John-Paul ended up having a blast chasing the water and other kids around the splash pad. The little guy is soo cute when he finds a new water sprayer that he finds interesting.

When we got home it was time for a snack... WATERMELON time! John-Paul loves this sticky treat :0) The way we eat it at home is 1) take off all clothes except the diaper, 2) put John-Paul in his highchair and make sure it is not by the carpet, 3) cut up watermelon into little cubes, 4) give the watermelon to John-Paul and enjoy the show.

I am always amazed at how much he can eat. I bet he ate a quarter of the entire watermelon on his own. I am grateful that John-Paul is open to trying new foods. I guess I should present as much healthy food to him as possible before he gets into the picky-eater stage.

Hello Blog-isphere

Up until now I have been a pretty avid blog follower with no intention to blog myself, until today. Today John-Paul was doing his normal funny stuff and I realized I should blog this stuff for those who want to keep up with the ' Pearland Neumanns'. So here it goes...

Today Chris is on the late stay shift (this means he goes in at the normal time 6:30am and has to stay until 8:00pm) so I decided to take John-Paul to Froberg's, a local fruit and vegetable stand. We picked up some pretty veggies and a large and heavy watermelon. When we got home John-Paul tried to help Mommy by attempting to cary the watermelon to the kitchen.

(I just noticed there is a grey bar at the bottom of each picture. Does anyone know what causes this or how to get rid of them? It almost looks like the picture didn't upload all of the way).

The little guy is soo funny! I hope yall will enjoy the updates about the little guys (John-Paul and baby Neumann) and the big kids (Chris and I).

I hope everyone has a happy and blessed seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time!
