So I'm a tad behind on the blog...I totally blame the weather and work for their dual distractive force. When the first wave of gorgeous spring weather hit, we all went out to a nearby park to play. This is the same playground we frequented last year too. It is conveniently right next to my school.
Jungle-gym, swings, slides, and merry-go-round all make for a fun excited time with a wee one. Tam brought along his "current" favorite match-box car. He had a blast dragging it around
clutched in his fist as he attempted to climb the different elements. He would climb up the steps and play peek-a-boo with us through the various bars and platforms
Then, we showed him how he could push the car up the slides. This wowed him for a while, especially when Brian went to the top of the slide to catch the flying car.
Then, we showed Tam how to slide DOWN the slide himself with or without his car. His huge grin was fantastic! He is even big enough now to go down the short slides by himself and not fall backwards. This is a quite a big improvement from last year when we held him or laid him flat on the slides.
After we played on the playground for awhile, Brian discovered a basketball that was left behind. As soon as Brian started bouncing the ball, Tam went flying over to investigate. He was laughing his little head off at his dada. I thought it was hilarious to see our little munchkin try to catch and carry a ball that was nearly as big as he was. Tam would run after the ball, try to grab it, accidentally kick it away, giggle like a maniac, and run after the ball again. Repeat.
Hmmm.... we may need to keep an eye out for a basketball this summer?
Here at the bottom of this posting, you can see the photos of Tam from last June (7 months old). He's gotten so big so fast!
