While Laura and Miles were up, we went out on the boat. It was Eloise’s first boat ride. Desmond has been before and enjoys it, he got to steer the boat with both his uncle Miles and his Grandpa, which he really enjoyed. Miles also went out wakeboarding, you can see him wakeboarding in the background of one of the pictures. It was a nice day for a boat ride since it was mid 80s out so the breeze on the water from the boat was quite nice.

We never got around to taking Desmond to the club pool, but we did put out the wading pool one day and let him play around in it, while we were at the lake house. It was set up on the patio under the deck, and he enjoyed playing in the water, even if it wasn’t in the big pool.

So the Atlanta pictures are not being put up in any particular order. While we were at the lake house, Eloise spit up all over herself. It was kind of impressive how much liquid came out of the tiny little baby actually. So we decided she needed a bath. So I gave her one in my Mom’s sink, the sink is huge, Desmond can fit in it with room to spare, so she looked really tiny in it.

On the way to the airport to head home, we also stopped to visit Great Grandpa with my Dad. Here are a couple of pictures I took then as well.

While we were at my Grandfather’s Desmond found his guitar and took it out to play. So here is my little musician playing for us.

We went to Atlanta right after Desmond’s birthday party/meet the Eloise Open House. We flew down with my Mom and once we landed we went to visit my Grandfather. I got a some pictures of Desmond and Eloise while we were there so here they are.

All I have to say is ants, ick.

Okay I have more to say, we get ants every year with warm weather, and they are back. Dan read that you can get rid of them with baby powder, and since we have two short ones it seems like a better plan then poison. It seemed to work too! Our nice train of ants going up to our kitchen is gone and the ants have been squished that we found. Hopefully they stay away!

So my Mom and I took Desmond and Eloise out yesterday to get Desmond’s 2 year pictures done. We tried to get a picture or two with Eloise and Desmond together, it didn’t work well, but we did get one. The rest are just Desmond hamming it up.

So as noted by the previous post Desmond is slowly potty training. He has gone pee in the potty at least once a day for the past 3 or 4 days! We are slowly getting there it seems. It will be odd to have a child out of diapers if he keeps this up. It will be nice though.

So we are very very slowly working on potty training/learning with Desmond. He has decided he likes to sit on the big potty, so we bought him a potty ring, and he likes to sit on it at least once a day. He still hasn’t done anything in the potty, but he likes to sit on the potty, which we figure is a good first step.

Anyways last night Dan put him on the potty, and the child got himself reading materiel to look at while he was up there. Dan had to take pictures, since it was really amusing to watch the two year old read the gaming magazine on the potty.
