time keeps slipping, slipping away...

Wow - I can't believe that I haven't blogged since April! Seriously pathetic :( I've thought about it several times, but just haven't had the opportunity. So much has happened: JA is walking/running EVERYWHERE, and he jabbers all the time. He's so much fun and so full of energy. He's definitely all boy and keeps Mommy on her toes! JA still loves books, but he has also started playing with more of a variety of his toys. He LOVES trains! We visited Cheekwood in May to check out their model train exhibit (which included Thomas)- JA loved it so much, despite the horribly hot weather. Our vacation this summer also centered around JA's train interest. We went to Chattanooga, stayed at the Choo-Choo, and rode a real steam engine train (among other things). JA seemed to have a good time with all of our vacation adventures :)
We also discovered that JA LOVES being in the water! He doesn't think he needs a float or anyone to hold him - he's such a brave little guy!
JA talks about his Pa (my Daddy) constantly. Most of his 'jabberings' either begin or end with 'Pa.' He can say other words, but Pa is his favorite, by far! My Mom will say, "Say Mimi," and JA always replies, "Pa." He's so funny and seems to have a wonderful sense of humor.
I begin my student teaching on August 22nd, and I am not looking forward to it AT ALL :( Yes, it will be great to finally be finished with my teacher certification, BUT I don't want to be away from JA for that many hours on five days of the week. However, it must be done. This summer just went by too quickly - I'm seriously dreading being away from my sweet little guy...
