Lot of skyping happened this morning, to PA (Cherie, Cassie, and family), Chelan (my parents), and Seattle (Glecy).
We made a big shopping trip to Home Plus after his first nap.
Then I left at 2 to go see Birdman with our friend Meg. I can understand why it won best picture, but still haven’t seen Grand Budapest Hotel or Boyhood for comparison.
While I was gone Carly and August took a walk by the stream. August fell asleep and Carly got a coffee cafe in the women’s center and sat by the stream. They played at the playground by the stream for awhile before coming home.
August had a ton of energy this evening. He spent a lot of time today playing with the vacuum cleaner in the hallway, pushing it around and playing with the hose. The iron (cool and not plugged in) is another favorite toy, as are our shoes.
He also had fun eating today. Carly fed him his first brussel sprouts and grapes today, as well as yellow pepper, which he hasn’t had in quite awhile. I brought burritos home from my outing, and he ate onion and mushrooms and black olives from that. He was quite insistent about wanting more.
One of the books we bought when last in Itaewon is called Wild About Books and is about a librarian who takes her bookmobile to the zoo and all the animals learn to read. Anyway, August can now identify at least ten different kinds of animals and people in the book – seven in one picture.
He had trouble getting to sleep. We think his teeth may have been bothering him. So I had to dance him to sleep to Hozier again, although Carly had to finish the job in bed as he started to fuss again. He’s been asleep for close to two hours, so so far so good.
Looking like spring without the cover and with a lighter hat:
