Usually he still does more moving backwards than forwards, but sometimes he manages to make more forward progress.

Here, he is playing with his little music box toy and it gets away from him, and after some backwards scooting he manages to reverse course and get closer to the toy:

It rained and it rained and it rained. It rained for our shopping trip to Home Plus. Here August is checking himself out in the mirror to make sure he’s ready to go out:

while playing in his room, August started on the carpet but ended up under the chair, which he enjoyed:

Until he wants to get out and realized he could just go backwards. Notice how he hits his head on the floor and starts crying at the end:

After his nap we went over to the framing shop to pick up the last three pieces we needed to get framed for August’s room. August enjoyed helping to carry the umbrella:

Here are the three framed pieces. Now that the room is complete, I plan on doing a post sometime in the future showing all the artwork:

Finally, when I dropped him off at APIS he was a hit with the 7th grade girls:

Just some bits and pieces from around the house, our Saturday trip to Itaewon, and our Sunday walk to a park:

I introduce to you, Two-spoons Zinn:

August and I are getting used to it being just the two of us. We had a good day around the house, went for a walk over by the power plant, and in the afternoon we walked to APIS to drop him off with Carly so I could go to physical therapy. 

Around the house: 

He ate some food:

Got a kick out of watching the washing machine:

Ate a little banana for the first time:

And turned a container in recycling into a new toy:

Also, we tried to respond to Glecy’s request for a photo of August with a strainer on his head. We will have to settle for an amusing video and a photo of it on his face, as he got upset when I placed it on his head:

On our walk, we saw all sorts of cool things:

I don’t know why this statue is at the plant:

And we Skyped with my parents while sitting on a park bench:

He’s been getting up on his hands and knees for a couple weeks now, but I haven’t gotten a good video of it yet. Here you go:

With my parents leaving yesterday, today was my first full day as stay-at-home dad. We did all sorts of things, like try sweet potato (that Carly cooked the night before):

And take a bath:

And practice his sitting while watching the mobile:

And work on vocalizing. ‘Ba’ seemed to be the sound of the day:

All of that was before his first nap. After his nap, we went for a little shopping trip to buy a few things at Daiso. Here we are, ready to set out:

Along the way, we had a snack and rest in the park:

And here is August on his new playmat and playing with his new tambourine:
