The little one fits in the car now. His brother isn't too thrilled about sharing it, though.

They had fun going to the park.



Somebody got his first teeth this week. He also figured out how to sit up, as long as he has a head start.

A Little Bit of Everything

We got a new swing this week. I think he likes it.

While digging in his closet, he found some costumes his grandparents got him.



We got on the carousel again. It was crowded, and he had to settle on a seal.

A little DDR can be fun.

Also, we had snow this week. We had snow Monday, and it was 60 outside yesterday.


It's hard to make snowballs when you're wearing your dad's gloves.

It was nice and warm out, so he got his sword and attacked the tree.

Free Museums are Fun

We found a free museum near us. They have lots of things to look at and lots for kids to do.

He made a fire on the oven. I don't think he knows how a wood-burning stove works.

After that, it was dinner time.

He also worked on his radio program.

He worked at the general store.

He worked on his putting. I'll have to get him to work on his swing. And yes, I know he's holding the club wrong.

He got to be a doctor for the wooden guy. Sorry about the lighting, it's not that creepy in person.

He checked the patient's ears several times.

He picked up a syringe and said it was the baby's medicine.

"Do you know how the cymbals work?"..."OK, silly question".

He played with the lighting on the stage.

His brother slept through most of the fun, but he got to wear a hat.

Happy Birthsday

We started his birthday by getting a haircut.

While they were cutting his hair, he got to spray the mirror with the water bottle.

He tried to help his dad take pictures of his new haircut.

His birthday cake had Batman.

He also had a Batman candle. You know you're jealous.

It took forever for us to get ready to eat the cake.

Finally, he got to blow out the candle.

Blue icing got on everything.

He had lots of help opening presents. The parents kept telling the other kids he didn't need help, but they wanted to help too much to stop.

He got lots of presents, of course.


After everything was open, they all crowded around to play with one of his new toys.

We didn't get many pictures of the baby, but we got this good one.

Some more random pictures

We borrowed this seat from the church. He likes to sit there, especially while he is eating.

He fell asleep when he was reading/eating his book.

His brother has a hard time waiting for the carousel to finish.

When it finally gets there, it's fun.

There is an interactive light show board on the floor at the mall. It's fun to kick the colors around.

Big kicks, especially.

Sometimes you can share it with some random kid who shows up.

He also likes to play the arcade games. This one has a mallet to pound the switch.

Birthday next weekend, so we'll have lots more then.
