22/52 Reach Out

two videos

So many of you have probably seen both of these (or shorter versions), but not all I don't think.  Anyways, they are good enough for another watch in my completely objective opinion.  This kid seems to be changing crazy fast these days.

He has learned to pull to a stand outside of his crib now (and sometimes tries to climb in), mostly because he wants to snag his pacifier.  He is only supposed to have it when he is sleeping, really, so I usually take it away.  I was video-ing this time because I think it is funny to watch him reach in and grab the pacifier, but could not believe what he did at the end of the video.  He was not remotely tired at the time, so I think he may have known what he was doing...



In this one, he just started to mimic the animal noises, which was also super cute. Seems the goat is easiest for him right now.

Ahead of the game this week.

Texas really does have pretty amazing wildflowers.

(massive) photo/video dump

So here are a bunch of photos and videos from my phone and what not.  Good times!  First the photos:

We got a bike trailer, which is great fun. This was from the first ride - to get ice cream!

We took Oliver on his first multi-night camping trip. That also went well. He was a big fan of washing rocks with his mouth and getting a ride in the hiking backpack.

This is how we roll when out to eat:

He still sleeps funny. Very often. Here he is with his rump up in the air.

Speaking of sleeping, he has mastered standing in his crib. He was very pumped about this and it severely impeded naps for a bit there. Here he is being all proud of not napping:

But then he also like to celebrate a good nap by standing:

Or a good night sleep by just sitting all calmly with his dual pacifier friends:

He has graduated to the normal tub (no more whale tub thing! [and yes, that is a red mark on his head from head butting the tub]):

Over night this kid has decided it is great fun to get into all kind of trouble. Here he is celebrating finding mom's card box:

Now for some good 'ol videos:

This is an older one, and is longer than it needs to be. We got some coconut yogurt, and he was a huge fan.


Here he is trying to crawl:


Kind of crawling:


and then standing (notice the key head movements to find the edge and the clutch mouth-hold)!:


This was the night that made us stop using the whale tub for baths:


and here is a classic falling asleep at dinner video:

This may be my favorite video yet.  Pretty funny.
