Jamie Pushes the Grill

Here is an example of how well Jamie could walk if he had the balance.

Messy Fun

Jamie was walking around the water table and fell in the mud.



We got all his clothes off and he went back to playing.



Great Grandma Pat told him it was ok to be messy.




And Charlie taught him to pour water in his pockets.

Tunnel

It's been pretty nice out, and we've been playing on the playground.

While Jamie would crawl right through the tunnel, Charlie has never dared. Grandpa Jeff was quite encouraging though...

So down he went!

And back up! He's really gotten the hang of it now.

Then guess who hopped up and came right through too?

That's some dog. (Who smelled graham cracker at the top :)

Cards

Valentine's Day means lots of cards, and they were sure enjoyed.



Have you ever seen someone so happy to have his own card?




He can open it!

Big Boys

Owen looks scared, but Jamie wouldn't hurt him!


This is a bottle they play with. But it seems like Jamie could feed himself from it.




Here's Charlie, risking life and limb to stand on his truck.

New Jailer

All I can say is that everyone involved chose their positions.

The real question - where is the owner of this bed? Safely out of the way :)

Truck Ride

I got Jamie on the truck. He loves to stand on it, he thought riding it was super.



He was having so much fun, Charlie joined him.




Everybody's happy!




Then Charlie took them for a ride, which spoiled Jamie for all other activities.



They went all the way down the hall, backwards.

Mud

Well, the snow melted. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't play in the mud! Here's Charlie in his new hat...



And too-big gloves, with bags on his shoes...




riding his too-small car in the mud.



I think this post is an excellent example of how difficult it is to find children's winterwear.

Snow

We ended up with a lot of snow, for Texas.




Charlie's water table give a pretty accurate view. Round about 4 inches.



But it didn't stop our intrepid friend!

Big Stuff

I'd like it introduce you to Jamie, who thinks he's Big Stuff. Yes, folks, no baby here.



What I have is two Big Boys.




If you can stand, take steps, play with the truck, keep up with your brother...



then there's no baby here. At least not until someone bumps his Big Stuff head.

Texas Chilly

What is Jamie looking at out that window?

"What's on your hands, Charlie?"

"Sockies"

Oh, he wanted to go out. He yearned. Later, he cried. He's a Big Boy, folks.

And this is the yard this morning. That's real snow!
