Walking in Daddy's shoes

Last Sunday I was changing our bedsheets when I saw Little Daryl carrying "Daddy's" shoes. I thought he was taking them to Daddy so Daddy could wear them (he likes to be "helpful"). I was called into the hallway a short time later and he had stepped into Daddy's shoes and was walking around. He was walking in my dad's shoes the day before when we visited them, but I had forgotten the camera. In the picture above, he is either wanting the camera or to be picked up.


Watching TV while waiting for lunch to be ready. (I distracted him by taking his picture)


He loves to blow bubbles, though right now he holds the wand too far away from his mouth to get many bubbles.



Last week I visited a college friend who has a boy Daryl's age. I tried to get a picture of them together, but wasn't able to. The older sisters were putting on a play (which never was really performed) of Peter and the Wolf. We had fun.

Our Little Monkey

Our little one has discovered he can move chairs, stepladders, stools, etc... to aid him in reaching things that used to be out of his reach. Fortunately, he hasn't mastered opening the microwave...yet.
We have these little word magnets on our freezer that I tediously moved to the upper half after finding one in Daryl's mouth several months ago. A few weeks ago, he discovered he could reach the bottom few by standing on his "tippie toes." Now, with the help of his little stool, he can reach even more of them. Thankfully, he isn't as quick to put things in his mouth, and he has plenty of other stuff to get into.

Enjoying some ice cream. The first time he drank the melted part instead of spooning it onto his tray. I thought the mustache was cute.


Another use for Daddy's ice chest



We got a couple of watermelons from our watermelon farmer friends. Daryl loves feeling the outside, but thinks the fruit is too wet and sticky.
