splash!

We've spent the last two weekends in and around the water. Tripp does take a little while to warm up, but once he's in, he loves it. I am hoping he'll get over that soon!

On his "boat" at my parents' house...

Swimming with Daddy!

At the lake with Aunt Leesie, he loved kicking and splashing!

We also visited my grandparents last weekend. They LOVE seeing Tripp and think he's pretty much the coolest ever. Whenever my parents go up to visit they try and take him, but last weekend Alisa and I just ran up there to spend the morning with them.

Giving MaMaw kisses!

Look at this sweet face! I love this picture!

Other news, it hasn't been a lot of fun around our house the last few days. It all started Thursday when Tripp's teacher called me and said he had some blisters in his mouth. We went to the doctor and he had the hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). Totally common in toddlers, especially those at schools (daycares). It went around last year at church and his school and he never got it. Well he had it good this year. On top of that, I swear his two year molars are about to break through. We've had some rough nights (waking up about 4-5 times throughout the night) and I don't think it's all from the blisters. He isn't really eating very much and when he does, it's like macaroni or soft things. I looked up two year molars, and it pretty much describes what "we" are going through. I sure hope it is the molars too, because if it's not, then we'll have round two of this pretty soon. I also read that both molars and HFMD only last a few days, so maybe we will return to normal in the next day or two. I pray that it happens soon....
