Playdate!

I got to hang out with my buddy Oliver over the weekend!  

First we went to his neighborhood pool to swim for a little bit.  After a while I decided that the water was pretty fun to splash in.

Then we went to play with Oliver's toys.  He gets stuck in baby jail like I do, too!

Watch out for us!  

I remember this just like yesterday when we were able to hang out together in the same bouncy seat!  A little more than 6 months ago!  

Naptime!

When you're tired, you're tired and sometimes you just can't fight it anymore!  I'm so busy these days that sometimes I've just got to stop and rest my eyes for a bit...even if I am in the middle of something!

Jumping wears me out!

Mid-morning naps are always fun!

Here's the before picture when I was having fun in my dump truck...

And here's the after when I thought it would be a great place for a snooze!

Not the first time I've used the dump truck for a nap!  This was just over 6 months ago!

Keeping Me Contained!

I'm unstoppable!  If I'm awake, I like to be moving.  There is just so much new stuff to see and touch and put in my mouth!  Mom and Dad have had to get creative with keeping me contained.  They mentioned something about me taking over the house...

Here's my living room pen.  Dad reconfigured into a circular shape so it doesn't look so much like a place for Paul!  It's purpose is as much to contain me as it is to contain all of my toys!

Mom decided to get creative one morning while getting ready and I got to hang out in the bathtub!

Mid Week Laugh!

Everyone can always use a good mid-week laugh!  

Graduation!

Mom and Dad got the news last week that I'll be transitioning to a new class at school in August.  I'll be moving to the "Explorer's" class.  It's for those of us on the move but not walking yet.  Some of my friends already moved to that class so I'll be glad to see them again.  Here's some recent school pictures - 

Our teachers call us the 3 Amigos - Connor, me and Mason.  Connor is going to the new class with me and hopefully Mason will be pretty soon.  We were just chilling while watching the rain...

One of my teachers helped me ride a bike - it was so much fun!

This is one of the reasons that I've got to move to the class with the big kids.  I can't help it if there are so many fun things to climb in, on, over, through...  There used to be books on that bottom shelf, but my teacher didn't think my attempts to read them were too good for the books!

Here I am in my red chair again, just reading about Tweety.  

Can't Stop Me Now!

Don't even try to contain me now!  Mom and Dad thought I was a wiggle worm before but they had no idea!  If I'm awake I want to be moving - especially towards Paul if he's in the room with me!

Here's a video of me with a fun toy Grandma Hermansen had at her house for me.  This is a way better way to get around rather than army crawling!  By the end of the trip I knew how to work it pretty good!

Here I am last week on the move.  I love the bathroom tiles!  (By the way, I was fine when I tipped over at the end of the video after Mom gave me a hug!)

Airplanes are Fun!

Mom and Dad said that I was a good little traveler so I think that means they will take me with them again sometime!  Our trip to Iowa consisted of a 2 1/2 hour plane ride and then a 3 hour car ride.  I was good on both airplane trips and both car rides I slept almost the entire way!

Here we are before the airplane took off.  I was so excited!  And I got to wear my PJs!

After I had my dinner, it was bedtime so I slept from before we took off until after we landed!  The man sitting next to Dad said I got an A+!

Here we are on the flight home.  I was too squirmy for the carrier so that didn't last long.  On this flight I wasn't too sleepy so I just took a quick half hour nap and then wrestled with Dad the rest of the flight.  But I was still good - no crying!

For being such a good traveler I got a toy Delta airplane!
