On Friday, Donovan and I tagged along with the Hiatt's to the Fair close by. It was a nice little diversion on a drizzly day. Donovan and Mason had fun seeing the animals and playing around for a little while.
Donovan had to make his mother nervous on the humongous tractor.
Such a cute little cheeser.
I'm pretty sure I'll get this look a lot when he's a teenager. "Seriously mom? You're taking a picture of this?"
They were both giving me some good smiles to work with.
Anyway, the latest on Donovan. This kid is a fish, I wish I had been taking pictures. Everytime we go to the pool he gets a little braver. He started out hanging on the edge one day, then progressed to dunking his head underwater with his nose plugged another day. Now he's jumping out to me with out making me hold his hands and yesterday he started kicking and trying to swim by himself with his life jacket on. He went from one end of the pool to the other a few times and wouldn't let me touch him. He just dog-paddled his way all around the pool. I was in shock. He's gained so much control and he's been so daring and brave. He still doesn't like to jump in and swim by himself though, he likes to be caught. As awesome as he's doing, I am a little concerned. We're going to have to keep a really close eye on him now! He might be a little too brave and comfortable in the water! Along with gaining all of this independence, he's also been gaining a little attitude to go with it. I hear they just get more attitude until they move out...I guess we'll just have to get used to it or deal with it in a way that doesn't make us all miserable. Even with all the attitude, he's still my sweet little boy who loves to snuggle and give kisses. He's such a handsome little boy and just keeps getting better looking as he gets older! His blue eyes and adorable grin make him pretty irresistable. It makes it pretty hard to punish him, but I think we're doing pretty well. Not always 100% consistent, but getting much better! Anyway, that's my Donovan. He's adorable and sweet and is getting really excited about having a little sister...no, we don't know the gender, but he's still convinced it's a girl. Anyway, I'll probably update once we get Donovan's 3 year pictures back or when we find out what baby is on the 11th...as long as he/she decides to cooperate.

Ah I thought you already found out what you are having! I can't find out til October!! :( All those pictures of Donovan are so cute. He is going to be such a fun big brother.
Oh Donovan. He is pretty darn irresistible. I'm so excited to find out if you're having a boy or girl so I can shop for presents!
Yay I can't wait to find out what you are having! Sounds like Donavon is loving the swimming pool
When he talked to me, I didn't understand he had been actually "swimming" across the pool. I just got the part where he jumped into the water by himself. Yup, have to keep an eye on him. Cute pictures of a cute kid too!
