Say Cheese

Well, he says cheese all by himself now..

Gratuitous smiles curtosey of the "rocket pop"

C had his first popsicle last weekend.  This weekend he marched directly to the ice cream truck at the park to get this one.

But at least I got smiles out of it.  He was VERY happy about this.

Why did you take it away?  I didn't finish the blue part!

Man vs Wild

C is a big Man vs Wild fan.  He watches with Daddy all the time.  So I guess we are in for lots of adventures..

After spending time climbing, sliding and running in the park, you can get very hungry and may need to find things to survive in the wild.  You have to concentrate to spot those things that may make the difference between survival and demise...

Yes..we may have something here..  I'm not sure if this is going to work out.. I'm just going to reach in gingerly here and remove...

The pinecone!  Native to this area, it's still sticky with sap that may be sweet to eat...

Nope, no eating.. but this is really cool!!!!

C for President?

When C saw the stage set up, he had to go up on it.  Twice.

He liked standing on the stage... :)

Bribery part 1

So, after 3 weeks of hunting down a smile.. I resort to bribery.  C's favorite toy.. MY CAR.

I simply need to put him in the front seat, and look! It's just that easy...

He gets all set for his "driving".  Putting the sippy cup in the cup holder

This is "MINE" right?

Ok.. you wanted a smile..  here it is.  Is this all I have to do to stay here?

This is fun!

How about my race car driver look?  

Here's another smile... how long does that get me?

What? We have to go now?  Wait, YOU'RE going to drive?

Well, can I at least play with the seat if I have to get out.. here's another smile!!

You SUCK mommy.  I hate this seat.  It doesn't have a steering wheel, and NO buttons!

Did I mention that I'm not happy with this arrangement?  I want to DRIVE please.

eating is fun

The aquarium

On Sunday we visited the aquarium

I think C likes to rock climb...

I haven't been able to get a smile lately..

In the tunnel looking for sand sharks

Watching the seals in from the underwater viewing window

Mommy & C

Half a smile?

When did C grow up?

And you get three Pirate pics because he's just so cute..

Driving on the moon

Look Grandpa! This is MY plane!
