Fun and Games

It's all fun and games lately. My new favorite thing is to stand up on the bed and fall backward. I could do that for hours (and sometimes I do).

Now that the weather is warm we're spending even more time outside having fun.

But we still know how to have fun indoors.

Too cool for school

We've had such great weather this week I've just been walking all over the place. Yesterday I strutted around the block wearing my shades.

Today I decided to imitate Daddy by pushing the stroller home from daycare.

I've got science for every occasion

Postulating theorems.

Formulating equations.

At the St. Louis Science Center.

Christmas #2

Christmas with Mommy's family was a great time. I walked around Grandma & Grandpa's great big house for hours. All the playing wore me out a little bit.

I had great fun opening all the wonderful gifts.

I already can't wait until Christmas next year!

Christmas #1

Everyone in Daddy's family loved my antics, particularly me walking all over the place.

Of course, I tore into some presents.

Oh boy!

I really enjoyed seeing Nana, Grampy, Great aunt Marcia, and of course Grandma and Grandpa.

Holidays are just so much fun!

Across the room

Well, I was in rare form tonight. First we did peek-a-boo.

Then after all the walking practice yesterday I decided to go it alone back and forth all the way across the room several times.

Sure, I hit the ground a few times, but I didn't let it phase me. I'm a walking machine.

A teensy bit early

I'm not sure I completely understand this Christmas thing. I received a great big box in the mail last week, but Mom & Dad didn't open it. That didn't stop me from playing with it though.

Then today I overheard Daddy ask Grandma Barb when to open the box, and she said she didn't care. So this afternoon when I was pushing the box around again, I guess Dad & Mom felt sorry for me because they opened the box. Inside was the greatest thing ever. I no longer have to push the box around because now I can push what was inside the box around. This expression sums it up pretty well.

I pushed the cart back and forth across the living room for 30 minutes non-stop. Then after dinner I played some more.

Thanks, Grandma & Grandpa!

Baby steps

Wherever I may roam

I roam around a lot these days. First, I crawl super fast. As you've seen I go up and down the stairs like a pro. One of my current favorites is to grab onto a chair and walk around a bit. Here, see for yourself.

Though, to be honest, I'm not that picky. If I can't find a chair to push, I'll settle for whatever I can find.

I also got a new toy from my friends Claire & Elliott. It's a bike.

Finally, I just love going for a magic carpet ride. We can't take complete credit for this, as Daddy got the idea from a friend, but it's still my new favorite thing. At first I wasn't really sure what was going on. Now, whenever I see the magic carpet I run over and lay down on my tummy while Dad or Mom pulls me around.
