He has settled into taking just one nap a day. Last week he did this, but they were 2 hour naps. This week they have dropped to an hour or less – today’s seemed long at an hour and nine minutes.
We got out for a decent walk in the afternoon, but it was generally a relaxed day. In part this was because as I was putting August in the carrier this morning to walk up to Nowon he fell asleep. So I took him out and waited until he awoke before we went out. We needed to be back to skype with Carly before she left school, so I decided to make our walk shorter.
We walked east and south, ending up just south of the hospital.
Once back, we Skyped with my parents and then Carly.
I then gave August a full bath – his fullest, happiest bath in quite some time.
Once Carly came home I left for my usual Friday PT.
August had a lot of fun playing with his stuffed animals on the bed this morning. And today’s accomplishment was working the sliding flaps on Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See? – both opening and closing them.

Playing around on the bed with his stuffed animals:


Shirtless after the regrettable banana-in-the-carrier incident, the details of which you don’t want to hear:

And now with a shirt – one that used to belong to me or Paul:

Being spacey, but not taking a nap:

So we head out on a walk, using Carly’s maroon carrier as mine is now drying after going through the wash following the aforementioned banana-in-the-carrier incident. We walk southeast, ending up behind Carly’s hospital, where we admire the mural:

He really liked the birds.
Back home, we Skyped with my parents:
And read a lot of books. August suddenly reached out and started working the sliding bits in the Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See? book:
Augist has been opposed to baths for several weeks now. Today we played in the bathroom and with the water for several minutes before I stood him up in the bath. We played for another five to ten minutes before he finally decided he wanted to sit down. He then stayed in the bath for over 15 minutes. Success!
