Lots of New Things

Wednesday was a beautiful summer day and Donovan and I really enjoyed it. First we worked in the garden for about an hour, enjoying a lovely cool morning--all the nicer after our record degree temperatures throughout the month of June. I had a lot of errands to do in the morning, so that yielded a nice long morning nap. He ate peas for the first time for lunch and he is really eating well. Actually opening his mouth wide some of the time. He also rolled over BOTH ways a couple of times while I was watching him; then he seemed to get tired of it and he cried once he got onto his stomach. He had a little more trouble getting to sleep for his afternoon nap, but he was clearly tired, so I put him in his swing and he eventually dozed off. When he woke up, we went to the pool, where we met Maris. Altogether a very satisfactory day.
