Life Lately (according to my iPhone)

• Someone's been spending a lot of time at the splash parks and in the front yard with the hose.  Hours of entertainment.  Our yard has never been more lush.  We officially have a water baby!  
• He's now putting food on his spoon and feeding himself.  I think he's a genius.  
• He's really into pushing things around - his wagon, the stroller, his little lawnmower, the high chair, the coffee table, kitchen stools, the water table.  Anything that can move (whether it should or not).
• He can say "ball" plain as day.  Otherwise, not too many words (or at least English words, although there's a ton of jibber jabber).
• He's madly in love with our animals.  He gives them hugs and kisses (until they can't take it and run away).  He lays down on Sage and uses her as a pillow.  
• He's an excellent finger painter, when he's not trying to eat the paint.
• He loves his sunglasses, but won't wear them for more than a few seconds. He takes them off and puts them back on over and over and over. 
• Sticks, rocks, mud and sand are the most fascinating things in the world. I'm pretty sure he pooped out some mulch the other day.  Oops. 
• He's recently discovered jumping on the bed.  We hold hands and jump until we fall down and then crack up.  
• He's obsessed with the little girls that live across the street.  He follows them everywhere they go and just watches them with amazement. 

We love summer.  Life is good.
