Mid week fun

Just some fun shots of the little man chattering and having fun.

"Dodododo"

"Ahhhh!"

An action shot - blurry, but fun!

He is walking more and more as his primary means of getting from place to place. His balance seems to get better every day.

Beautiful Day

It was supposed to rain today but it was gorgeous out all day - hopefully that holds until tomorrow. We spent the afternoon enjoying the lovely weather on the patio.

One of Baby-O's favorite games is to steal hats to war for himself. And to play peek-a-boo with too.

This outfit came from Uncle Chris and Aunt Peggy - it is getting a little small, but it fits (sort of) for now.



This was his reaction when I walked away from taking the pictures through the fence...


"Just checking to see if you are looking, Mom."

Walking!

The little man has been taking a few steps since a few days after his birthday. Lately he has been getting better and better. He has started walking to things other than Tom or I. He gets so excited about walking, it is very cute.

Some more from fun in the garden yesterday:

Perched

We made a short trip to New Jersey this weekend to see Tom's Pop Pop (and Nan and Pop, of course). We had a nice little visit and Baby-O got a good view from up high.

It seems that I am not taking as many pictures as usual lately - I think I am too busy playing with the little guy to stop and get photos.

I did get this little video clip the other day - as usual, it is a little shaky. He loves putting blocks in and out of the oatmeal container. The video is actually up now - sorry for those who checked and it was not here.

We had a nice Easter today. The weather was beautiful, the sun was shining and Baby-O was smiling!

We had brunch at home this morning and then went for a walk and lounged in the park for a while. The little man was not quite sure about the grass at first, but he came around to it.





A few shots from earlier in the week with his lion pillow from Grandma. He loves to tackle and hug the lion - it is pretty cute!


Of course, once he sees the camera he comes right for me.

Big Day!

We had Baby-O's first birthday party yesterday. It was a big success - thanks to lots of help from family!

Happy Birthday!

Wow - it has been a whole year - it is hard to believe! Baby-O has grown so much and our lives have changed so much, and I would not trade it for anything.

Here he is a year ago...


And today...

Two Sundays

April 4th, 2010

April 3rd, 2011

Baby-O and I ventured down to the Tidal Basin for the Cherry Blossoms today. I wanted to go because Tom and I spent the morning down there the Sunday before he was born last year. The lesson of today: don't go the Tidal Basin on the only nice weekend day during the Cherry Blossom Festival. There were so many people, it was insane! But, I got my picture - so it was worth it.
