What’s more fun than playing with a remote control car? Pushing the remote across the floor.

Zoo Six

Hung out with the Stokes early on Sunday, had to get the requisite shot of Des at the jellyfish

Dundee Day

This was the first year we made it to Dundee Day, an annual festival in our neighborhood. We walked up and had pancakes and watched a (small) parade with friends. While some of Des’ older friends enjoyed the bounce houses, we just chilled with the other parents.

Everywhere we turned, more friends and families. There was also a farmers market and craft fair. We ended the day by grabbing a pizza at Dante’s mobile pizza oven and walking over to the community garden picnic tables.

Des likes picking clovers, right-side up or upside down.

New and improved – now with 50% more teeth!

Toys

Dad got a remote control car for himself Des- fun for the whole family! He’s mesmerized, though Max isn’t quite into it.

Thursday afternoon was open house at Des’ daycare. It was nice to see him in his element and for snack time.

Apparently Des’ favorite spot is up in the kitchen. Lots to play with and sort.

Hey mom, what are you doing out there? Want a spoon?

It was time to go out in the big room and Des goes right for the stairs. Fearless.

Or maybe not- got all the way to the top stair and just stayed there for ten minutes 🙂

The tides might be slowing turning as Des appeared to enjoy the slide this time more than not.

Until Des is standing on his own, he’ll have to settle for bopping to  Louis Armstrong on dad’s shoulders

With the music in the background, we ventured over to the swings
