Silly Performing Boy / Playing At Cottage / Canada Day / Feeding Yourself / Fun On Slide

Hi Baby Will!

Silly Performer

I think you just might be a silly performer just like your sister Emma.  You seem to love when being silly and making people laugh.  Yesterday while walking around, you came up to me, put your mouth on my arm and blew raspberries.  We laughed, and you looked up with a grin and giggled.  So you kept doing it and grinning and laughing when we laughed.

Last week, while eating in a restaurant, I put on a paper pirate hat … it made you laugh.  Every time I put it on you, you’d grin big … and then you would turn to Mommy with a big grin on your face as if to say, “I’m being silly Mommy… look at me .. laugh at me.”  You grinned and giggled more when we laughed at you.  Here you are … such a silly boy.

Playing At Cottage

You have so much fun at the cottage.  You walk all around the deck, crawl up and down the stairs, and crawl and walk on the walkway, over to the sandbox, etc.  Its so nice because we can just let you go and just keep an eye on you.  We recently bought you and Emma a water and sand table.  You spend so much time over at it playing with the sand and water.  I’m glad we got it because you love it.  Here’s you and Emma playing together at the sand and water table.

Canada Day

We always have fun on Canada Day.  We have fun at the cottage all day, watch the Charlottetown fireworks across the water from the deck and set off a few of our own fireworks down by the water.  Here’s a picture of you, Emma and her friend Delilah on the deck a while before the fireworks.  You guys were laughing and drumming on the deck box with your hands.  In this photo, I think you are wiggling your hips and dancing.  Cute boy.

Feeding Yourself

You sure are growing up.  I took some pictures of you on Canada Day.  You were holding a spoon and eating applesauce all by yourself.

Fun On Slide

You and Emma have lots of fun on the swing and slide.  When I put you up on the deck, you have a great laugh when I peek at you between the railing boards.  You move quickly back and forth from the slide end to the rock wall end and back and forth.  I run back and forth to head you off and make sure you don’t fall off.  You laugh hysterically the whole time.  Emma likes taking you down the slide with her.  You used to be a bit nervous, but when this photo was taken (July 4th), you loved it and had a great time.

I love you sweet baby boy!

Beach Day / Eating Lemons / Dipping Fries

Beach Day

We decided to take a drive east today.  We dropped Devon off at St Peters Campground with Noah, went to the Fortune Beach and visited Old Nanny and Grammie.  You had a lot of fun at the beach.  You loved playing in the sand, you loved playing in the water, and you loved playing on the sand bars.  You didn’t even put much sand in your mouth.  Below there is a picture of you having fun at the water edge with the waves lapping at your feet.  Over the course of a few photos, you were having fun, you were playing, you were smiling, and then you were screaming.  You really did have a great time.

Eating Lemons

You silly silly boy.  We went to the Sheltered Harbour restaurant in Souris again after visiting Old Nanny.  I have pictures of you from May trying a lemon and making a sour face.  Today, you were reaching for the lemon from my caesar salad.  You really wanted it.  I took out the seeds and gave it to you.  You munched on it for a long while without making a sour face at all.  You loved it.  You pretty well devoured it.  I had to take it from you when we were leaving.  There was barely half the rind left.  Silly boy.

Dipping Fries In Ketchup (First Time)

You were a hungry boy.  You were grabbing at my food.  Instead of breaking fries and chicken up into small pieces like we usually do for you, I decided to give you whole fries.  You dipped them in the ketchup on my plate and ate them up.  That was the first time I seen you dipping something and eating it yourself.

I love you baby boy!
