The last few weeks have been all about Solomon testing his climbing skills. I will leave the room (for literally seconds) only to find him on the dining room table, a chair or an end table, smiling at me, when I return. The first video is one of him running around on the couch. He loves to stand at the end and act as if he's going to jump. Yes, we do find it frightening!
Solomon, Alex and I all took advantage of the great weather last week and turned on a sprinkler for Solomon to run around in. I think water was still a little too cold for him, but he did seem to enjoy his swim trunks and sunglasses (at least for as long as he would keep the glasses on). Of course, the sunglasses were courtesy of Grandma L. My sister and I, along with our spouses, always have to have the latest in fashionable sunwear, so why should Solomon be any different?
Alex has been super busy with work as usual. He's going to begin designing yet another local magazine, along with the bar and his web design & IT work, so hopefully we will see him from time to time at least!
I have a work trip coming up next week so things are getting crazy again for me as well.
We had a SUPER TON of rain on Sunday night into Monday morning and our sump pump decided to die halfway through the night. Luckily, Alex was working late into the night, as he often does, and noticed the pump wasn't working. We called a 24/7 plumber and they installed a new one. Had Alex not noticed, our basement would have likely flooded! There's always something crazy happening.

My friend, Cherie was in town this past weekend. We got to catch up a bit on Friday night over drinks. It never seems like there's enough time, but it was great to see her and our friend, Nora Lee as well.
Solomon has a huge rash/big red spot on the outside of his right hip/butt. I called the doctor and they didn't think we needed to worry yet. Who knows what it is? Very strange stuff happens to these little people!

That video is so funny. I love how Alex is saying "No, no, no, no!" and you are all like, "Ah, here we go again!" I love it. And I love Solomon's little giggles, even though he's pushing his limits. Hee hee. I'm so glad you noticed the sump pump issue, too. We're always so terrified of flooding since our basement is finished, and since it's happened once already. Ours thankfully kept working through all the rain.
Don't you hate those moment when you want to laugh but you know you can't because it would encourage the kid? Well, maybe you didn't want to laugh, but I liked how Alex was making Sol laugh. It's amazing how any kid survives the climbing stage, isn't it?
My dad made a video of the storms you guys got and posted it to his site. That's a lot of rain!
