Just Hanging Out


Well, Luke has become quite the climber around the house.. and now his new thing is to hang from anything he can grip. It's pretty funny to watch. He is just learning so much from our mommy and me gymnastics class. He loves to hang from the bars and rings.. and it's just making his muscles so strong!







This was Luke's first time to eat a pear without me cutting it for him. He thought he was just Mr. Cool eating it this way. Guess I need to let my big boy eat like a big boy now.

Dewberry Farm and splashpad day of fun!

Last week, Luke and I went to Dewberry Farm with Ashley and her boys. Apparently it is only open to the public on weekends, but we were able to add our names on to a preschool class, so we got to go on a Thursday... when is was not so crowded. :)
They had a fun time playing around and exploring everything. It was just so hot and humid and muddy! Luke walked right into a big patch of muddy grass.. and froze. We both had mud all over our shoes and he didn't really like it. He kept trying to wipe it off.
Of course, the next day was gorgeous weather.. but oh well.. we had fun!

Here are some pics of our day:
I tried to get a picture of us on the train ride. He and Kyler were really excited to ride the train.. but we had to sit there for about 5 minutes before it started, so he was getting pretty impatient.



Fun on the slide! I think he wanted to go by himself, cause he would start kicking at me the closer we got to the bottom.. but it was pretty high up, not that he would care.. he's Mr. Fearless right now.

This bouncy thing was probably his favorite thing. He loves jumping! Gymnastics class has really helped his coordination. (I attached a video of him jumping at the end)
He didn't look too entertained by the horse that didn't move. Guess he didn't see that it was missing legs. Look at those red cheeks.. he played hard! And fell asleep quickly during the ride home. Unfortunately for me, he woke up right when we got home and didn't want to nap anymore.. so we needed to find something else to do so....
We went to the splash pad in the neighborhood! I figured it would be our last day to use it... and no one else was there, so he had it all to himself!
At first he just ran around the outside of all the water, until I ran through it with him.


Then we had to go play on the slides. Someone had put a bunch of the playground mulch right by the slide, so of course he had to check that out, and throw that down the slide.

What a full day of fun! I love my little man.
