the Mer-Man lives!!

So far the fitness center has been great! I've been three times. I played basketball and racquetball (both with myself) and Friday JJ and I went to the indoor pool. He LOVES water so we call him the Mer-man. The water was pretty warm and JJ hung out in his tube. There are so many classes at this place I can't wait to try them all: spinning, water aerobics, yoga, etc. It feels great to be active. JJ has a fine time in the nursery. Other moms are the caretakers. He usually hangs out in a highchair and eats crackers. He's very observant so I can see him just watching everything going on around him. JJ's doctor has referred us to the growth and development doctor. I was told that they would contact us to make an appt but I called Friday and got their number so I could call since I still have not heard from them. At his 12 month wellness he was only 15 lb 13 oz and measured 3%, 3%, and 10%. He is developmentally great, just small. He continues to be such a joy to me each day. Today he was standing near one of his toys. He triggers the music and shakes his booty. It is so funny. I videotaped it and hope to post it if I can figure out how.
The three of us worked outside most of the day in the beautiful weather. JJ has new sand in the sandbox. It is great sand like CanCun beach sand!! Robert gets it free at work. Tomorrow we will get a tiller and be one step closer to having our garden ready. I am also working on the landscape in front of our house. Next Saturday is a neighborhood-wide garage sale. I am so excited because it is an opportunity to rid our garage of so many things. My neighbor told be that a lot of people drive through so I hope the right ones will stop by our house. I still can't park the car in the garage and it is a dream of mine to do so. It will be my first garage sale. Hopefully it will be a good one.
