Jesse’s enrolled in Baby & Me swim class (the teacher said at the first class, “After these five classes, you’re still going to have a baby who can’t swim.”) at a county rec center. Here’s scenes from the first class Dan was able to attend; therefore, these are the first images of swim class, since my hands stay busy there.

Jesse and I joined Natalie and her Mom and Dad for Mother’s Day lunch, and Jesse was a perfect gentleman (in a nautical outfit his aunt and uncle gave him for his birthday).

We got to see Grandma and Grandpa right before we went to the airport.
Here’re a few pictures and videos from our big dinner on our last night in Vegas. Thankfully, we got a private room.
Some day I will be able to tell Jesse he, Grandpa, Aunt Amy, Uncle Bob and I went to the Mayweather-Maidana weigh-in (and saw 2 Chainz), and that he fell asleep in an arena packed with more than 8,000 screaming fight fans.

Here’s my amateur video of Dan’s speech, taken from our table.
And here’s a professional one on YouTube.
And here’s Jesse, fast asleep during the speech:
