Well, we are five-sixths of the way through
WB's first year. I cannot believe it!
He got two more teeth, both on top, about two weeks ago. And Saturday, he took his first step! Is it just me, or is picture bear looking quite a bit smaller than he did 9 months ago?
He has crawled onto the hearth, and is trying to get a leg up on almost everything. He's going vertical!
On a beautiful afternoon last week, while playing in the back yard, I found a new genre: photography while wrestling.
WB hasn't yet shown an interest in gardening, but he still looks good with a wheelbarrow. He likes to walk behind
SK's tricycle and car and walk while pushing them.
SK does enjoy digging in the dirt. His magic beans are growing better than anything else in the garden!
We've introduced
WB to shoes. It's been fun for me to go through
SK's outgrown things and pull out all his little baby shoes. I don't think that
WB thought it was as much fun to wear them. But he quickly realized that he could go faster outside with them on.
We love being outside!
I made up a game with SK. We made a list of all the colors we could think of, and checked them off the list when we saw them. It was kind of like a scavenger hunt. Of course, the big thrill was driving through the tunnels and honking the horn with the windows down.
KiSA found a new route that doesn't take as long, and we saw some cabins and hiking trails that are only 30-45 minutes from home. We hope to return to them in the spring and do some camping.
And here he is asleep inside his sleeping bag, inside his closet. I guess there are some things about which we will never know the answer.
