It seems that gone are the days of cold and rain, and it actually gets quite hot here in the backyard! I’ve not experienced this before. How hot does it get, anyway?
To help beat the heat, Mommy put me in my nice light Hawaiian shorts and my nice shady hat.
Also, Daddy put up the gate to make a safe place for me to play on the back deck.
Mommy also broke out my sandals, which I’m modeling here, for your viewing pleasure.
Very cool!
(Ed. Note: Thanks, Luciana, for the Brazillian sandals (complete with national flags!))
Well, I’m finally getting good enough at this walking thing to start letting go sometimes. Have a look!
(Ed. Note: For those of you readers who apparently equate the blogging of the event with the truth of the occurance of the event (you know who you are!), it is now true that Ben is walking. )
The other day M&D took me to our local park. First, we went on the slide.
It’s kind of scary to go down by my myself, but going down with Daddy wasn’t too bad. He seems to have a lot of experience with slides. Funny, that. I don’t see a lot of big people on slides, so I wouldn’t have guessed it.
After the slide, we went exploring. Here I am looking for mountain lions in the creek!
Oh well, no big cats. But that’s probably for the best. I’ll just practice walking along the fence!
Then I found a big stick! I think Daddy was jealous!
This morning, Mommy and Daddy and I went for a hike around the neighborhood. This is the “before” shot.
There is no “after” shot, but Daddy was a bit more tired, I think. The view is great from back here! This backpack contraption is pretty cool. Maybe one day we’ll go for a hike in those hills behind us. What do you say, Daddy? Daddy?
