Earth Shattering!

We experienced a major earthquake here last night, folks. It was a 5.6 magnitude, but we are all fine! Captain X thought it was great fun and wanted more (he settled for jumping on the rocking chair and agressively rocking back & forth, though). His mom was freaked out a bit and was still shaking a good while afterwards. Nothing was broken, but things did move and fall from the usual spots: tables and shelves. This tremor has given us a good kick-in-the-pants motivation to update our earthquake preparedness bag and get one ready for Captain X. Every superhero must be ready!

Captain X...swims!

We've been going to swim class since Captain X was 6 months-old...and finally, finally he is starting to get the hang of kicking..and making a really BIG splash! Today, was another class and he was really, really doing well! He didn't even want to get out of the pool today!

We're so proud! This picture was taken about a month or so ago during photo week at Water Babies Swim. Look at his expression!

Enjoy!

Captain X Knows...

...his letters! Yes! Mommy and daddy thought that it was never too early to start teaching Captain X his alphabets. Besides, they sing the alphabet song all the time, why not make the connection, right? So for the past couple of weeks, Captain X has been learning his A, B, C's.. So far, he knows the following letters:



His mommy and daddy are mightly proud that he's taken to recognizing the letters so fast! We can't make actual words from these random letters, but it's a start. Though, Captain X's G'ma Shelly gave Mommy a great tip on how to start putting simple words together with... "G"-"O"... "Go!" Hey that's a start!

Stay tuned for more stories of Captain X's adventures!

Attack of the Nasty Cold

Missed your weekly Captain X fix? Sorry folks, he's been a little under the weather lately. The culprit? The common cold, no less!

Yes, even superheroes can sometimes fall prey to the most common of illness. But have no fear, he's already begun to bounce back into action... but not before he transferred this common cold to both his mommy and daddy! Oh, what lucky parents they are...

More stories to share as soon as Mommy gets her strength back and return to the land of the living!
