Gwydion goes to the zoo (again!) and other things

Gwydion has had a busy summer. He's growing like a weed! He loves to play outside, chasing squirrels, cats, butterflies, or whatever happens by. He also loves the gazebo Grandpa Don built and he loves to help Mama in the garden. Of course he mostly just likes playing with the hose, but hey, as long as he's happy, right?

15 Month Appointment

My little man is getting so big! He's 31 3/4 inches tall (80%), and weighs 21 lbs (8%). The doctor said he looked great! He's starting to get his canines in now, and between that and the shots, we're expecting a fussy boy for a week. He's running and climbing like a pro now. He still doesn't watch where he's stepping though, so he does trip over things, just like any little one. He's talking a little, though he still mostly says 'that'. He'll also says 'hot'. It's the funniest thing, when I'm cooking dinner he runs around the kitchen with plastic measuring cups in hand, yelling "hot, hot, hot!"

He loves to help Mama water the garden and play with the hose. He's also good at housekeeping, since he likes to put things into the trash and help sweep the floor or hold the dustpan. His favorite things by far though, are any electronics that he's not supposed to touch- computer keyboards, TV remote, digital camera... you get the idea. Such a techie kid- just like his dad. :)

Driving around in his police car. He loves the siren!

Water baby!

We were out working on the garden beds in front of the house today when Gwydion decided to play in the sprinkler! As you can see, he had a great time.

Fun Times!

Gwydion has been quite the busy boy lately! We had a big party at Grandma Diane's the weekend of the 4th, then had dinner with Grandpa Don on the 4th. We went to the zoo with April today, and tomorrow we're going out with Sarah and Ella!

Gwydion's walking, or running rather, in circles around his mommy now. He ran all around the playground at the zoo, following the bigger kids. He's got 10 teeth now and working on 4 more. I'll write more of an update at his next doctor's appointment.

I didn't want to nap today and this is what happens.
