Jakub

Canada Day Weekend Camping Trip

 This long weekend we went on a fantastic camping trip to Cumberland Bay State Park in New York with our good friends Jenny and John and their dog Whisky. Jakub had fun picking “wonderful” flowers while hiking in Point Au Roche State Park (excellent spot for dog lovers), and although the water was really cold, Alex and John (along with Joxer, Guapa, and Whisky) went on two great open water swims in Lake Champlain. Back at camp, we kept the fire going constantly, roasting marshmallows, chilly, hotdogs, shishkabobs, potatoes, and krispy kream donuts.

Kuba Still Loves His Jolly Jumper

Eight Month Old Kuba Jolly Jumping

Kuba was always a fan of the Jolly Jumper (unlike Robert). I remember I could leave him in it for an hour at a time, and he would just love to bounce (Robert only likes it for a few minutes, and then gets bored and wants to come out). Even now, Kuba loves to see Robert play in the Jolly Jumper. And just a few days ago, he asked to go in it himself! He actually still fit in the small strap, so I let him jump around a bit, until I felt like it might break.

Learning to Ride a Bike

For the first time Jakub was eager to try riding his bike.  He saw me ride mine home from the store and became inspired I suppose.  We put on his helmet and attached the rope and I pulled him one block to the South.  Jakub made sure to tell me how far Esteban and Adrian's house was.  Then we turned around and went to the green space just North of our house to play.  He realized that we had forgotten toys, so we had to ride back to the house to get them.  Unfortunately, just as we pulled in to the driveway Jakub had a crash as he turned too quickly and scraped his elbow.  That was the end of riding his bike for today.

Still no pedal action but it was fun because he was excited by going today!
