A few more pictures from our holiday break:
Lewis Modeling his New Super Cool Corduroy Vest from Mamaw and Papaw
With this warm weather, we have taken some walks with the dogs and another trip to the playground (a different one from last week). This one wasn't as Lewis-friendly as the one down on the waterfront, but it was still fun. Kevin and I took turns taking him down the big kid slides on our laps. And we couldn't let him down to crawl around because the surface consisted of wood chips that he would surely try to eat. :)
Taking the Big Boy slide with Papa
Loves to swing!!
Checking out what Papa was doing
(Kevin got on the bigger swings next to the baby swings)
Atop the really high curly slide with Mama
Back to the basement...
Playing with his cool activity table from Uncle Scott
Shutting the trap doors on his new toy from us
He can't yet figure out how to turn the knob, push the button, lift the lever, etc. to make the doors open, but he loves to go along and close them!
Our big handsome buddy
He has gotten much steadier on his feet!
(From chasing Juniper, Mathilda, Peter, and Hattie, no doubt)
That problem I had mentioned with the cutout wall...
It has been really nice having Kevin home--I've gotten a lot of little projects done around the house that have been lingering on my to do list. Childproofing is finally as done as it can be--the magnetic locks work great on the cabinet doors, but they do not fit the drawers (the exact spot where I need to drill into the drawer face to house the magnet is the same spot where two pieces of wood meet in a corner, and I absolutely cannot get a hole drilled there). So we'll settle for a partial victory on that.
We'll hopefully be able to work in a trim of Lewis' wild hair sometime tomorrow. Other than that, I guess we'll just relax and enjoy our last day of break together.
OH! And we found Tooth #7 this morning--the one to the right of his bottom two. So he now has 4 up top and 3 on the bottom.

Love that first picture, but he looks so "grown up" in it.
ReplyDeleteAnd sorry it took so long to respond, but I really like How to Raise and Amazing Child the Montessori way. It is a DK book so it has lots of great pictures and I can spend 15 minute looking through it and come away with a lot of ideas. There are some other Montessori books which explain the concept more thoroughly but they tend to be a bit on the dry side. And blogs/pinterest are a great source of info. Hope that helps.
I agree! I was looking back through pictures, and he looks so young and so different. There are pics where I distinctly remember thinking 'Wow, he looks old" when I took the pic, but now it is a much different feeling.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you recommend that book b/c I got it for my sister last year to use with my niece! I didn't look through it, but I will get one of our own. I read a lot but have a hard time implementing what I've read. I read while Lewis is nursing, and I must get distracted between my chair and the basement full of supplies. On my list of things to do differently this year. Thanks for the suggestions!
his walking has improved tremendously!!! He's such a happy boy, I love that smile
