this summer, we enrolled Max in swim lessons. Which really were more like "bop around the pool and try to eat the ball" lessons since oh wait, BABY.



At first, he was a little wary, but after a while, he was all into it.




especially once the toys came out. there were buckets...




And balls...






and Max was very very good about always listening to the swim teacher


also, check out his cutie lil swimsuit!

back in June (yes, I know, we're backlogged), Luke the baby and his parents Paige and Paul came out to Montclair to play on the superfabulous playground with the squishy ground.

A good time was had by all, despite the heat. Plus, Luke was so adorable in his toddler obsession with a) puppy and b) ball. Sadly, I have no pictures of Luke calling "puppy puppy puppy" softly in the stroller. But I do have pics of Luke and Paul finding a ball, or rather...

BALL! BALL! BALL!


Ah, ball. Also, Jonathan and Max in the background


Max went on the swings




look at those arm rolls! I want to eat him up.


and was a tall baby


who nommed on Jonathan's hat
