For the Fourth of July weekend, we took a trip to visit the grandparents in Muscatine. While there, Alex was given a lawn mower. He loved turning the key and pushing it around. (I'm hoping he's still got this much energy when he's old enough to reach the real one!) In keeping with the lawn care theme, he got to sit on (but not drive!) the riding mower before raking and hoeing the mulch around the flowers.
He also got his very own basketball hoop complete with Nerf ball. His favorite move? Dunking the ball, then trying to find it. He also found one of my old toys, a 6-wheel car/bus/van, and a cedar rocking chair out on the porch. Wagon rides turned out to be pretty good, despite the uncertain start. I have no idea what this hand signal means, but both Alex & Granny are doing it.
Sleeping was a bit more interesting on this trip. He would only scream when put into the crib. Eventually I got tired of this, and put him on the floor (with a blanket). Oddly enough, he was perfectly happy. So, every time he slept (naps & bedtime), we put him on the floor next to our bed and slept just fine.
Once back home, I took a few last pictures of him in the crib, then ripped the side off. After reviewing the instructions, we added a few new pieces and a day bed was born. Here, he points out the carvings he made while teething. After adding a new step to the bed, it's ready for use.
Hmm, Alex is awake again. Gotta run....
