NH Vacation Update

Trying to remember all the things that Serik has said and done is getting difficult. He's definitely exerting himself and wants things 'now!'. I try very hard to make him say please all while he's tugging at my arm or leg and saying 'come now - i want ______'. He's also been adorable curling up on the bathmat and saying he's going night night or curling up anywhere and saying 'i'm a snake'. He also crawls on all fours and says, 'i'm a tiger'. Yesterday we went to the town pool and he was saying he was a dolphin or a shark so i guess he's getting the concept of what animals live where. He also likes to click himself into his carseat (an extra one in the laundry room) and say 'i'm ready to go' usually followed by to the hospital, target or to see the animals.

We had a great time in NH - spent two weeks there. We swam a lot and our little man is a fish and loves to be in the water 'swimming'. He's getting the hang of the kicking and paddling but we're still a ways off. Went for boat rides - motor and canoe. He enjoyed both and wanted to go faster in the motor boat. Think we have a thrill seeker. Went to the Squam Lake Science Center and Serik got to pet a snake and see indigenous animals to NH (bobcat, lynx, skunk, bears, etc.)

Also took him to the ocean and he liked that as much as the lake. Mama took him to the edge of the water because once I dipped my toes in there was no way I was getting in even up to my ankles. Amazing that I used to swim in that water - guess that's why I got hives from the cold too. We're gearing up for our second trip to Kaz. No word yet... but hoping it will arrive soon. Please send good vibes out to the universe for us.
