jumping into Monday

Mondays are typically rough for Liam, coming off of a weekend of all the Daddy-time, which is why I love it that Mondays are also our day to visit with Crystal , Simone, and Everett. Today, it was our turn to go to their house.

One of their neighbors is generous enough to share the trampoline in the communal backyard, and this was Liam's first time to get on it.

He was a bit hesitant.

Liam usually does everything with such gusto that any trepidation on his part is so sweetly unexpected. And when he needs Mama to help him, I am more than happy to oblige.

And, really, any excuse to get on a huge trampoline works for me. (Jennie, this brought back so many memories...).

Learning to jump. Learning to fall. It's all fun on a trampoline. 076

I think this is the only time I have ever seen Liam more timid than Simone. It was so much fun to see her shine .094

Once he was a little more used to the idea, Liam loved jumping. And it made for the best games of ring-around-the-rosy. He thought it was hilarious.

068And another first for him today: chewing bubble gum (usually he just swallows it). He worked at this piece for a long time.

And since this was clearly a day for firsts, Liam also got his first tattoo. 063 Showing his co-op pride...
