Don't Look Down

Vacation is hard work

Summertime

It's too hot here, so I'm taking Mum and Dad to the coast, catch you all in a week.

Free Wheeling

I've got myself a cool car now. Still trying to figure out going straight, but at least I don't need to hitch a ride with Mummy or Daddy any more if there's no furniture to use on my way.



Wheeeeeee!

Now They're 6000 miles away...

...it's safe to post this:

A good time was had by all, despite a little stay at the Kemah jail.

Turned Out Nice Again

80f/26c. Clear blue skies, though we may get a thunderstorm or two later. As long as the weather's nice though, the gang's making the most of it.

The dude lounged around for a bit:

But then decided it would be a good day to break out the boat:

Waterboy

Alasdair goes swimming with Nikki every Thursday morning. I haven't been able to attend, but we got him in the pool at home over the weekend. It's mildly astonishing how comfortable this kid is in the water. Nikki says 'blow bubbles' puts his head all the way under and zooms him towards me and he comes up blinking and smiling.

 

Caught

At last it's safe to walk the streets again.

 

And Now...This

We dropped Alasdair's matress about 3 weeks ago when he started sitting up, looks like it's going to have to go down again already.

He's pulling himself up on pretty much everything. Attempts to cruise around furniture are so far being defeated by his feet refusing to follow his hands, resulting in about 700 falls per day, but there's a very determined look to this kid's mouth at the moment and we fear he's going to be off shortly.

Bookworm

Alasdair is starting to show quite an interest in the Scottish history section of our library. The fact that it's easier to reach than the Terry Pratchett section may be related

All that reading needs a lot of fuel. The sensible thing to do, as we all know, is to store bits of food above your eyes, so that when you get tired from reading you can grab a chunk when you go to rub them.
