"New" toy and spaghetti dinner

This Red Rider tricycle was a $6 Goodwill find a few weeks ago. It just needed a little soap and water. Booker's legs are just slightly to short to push the pedals but he is enjoying it anyway. It's always fun to be outside with Shiloh too!

Here are a fews pics from dinner last night. This boy loves to eat!

Sharing pretzels with Nana and weekly cleaning

These were taken last weekend during Nana's visit. Only an Aunt would share her pretzels with the little man in this unique way! We looking forward to seeing her again next weekend.

Booker was big helper with the weekly cleaning yesterday! He really enjoys the whole process; standing in awe of the loud vacuum cleaner, watching laundry being folded and "helping" load the dryer & sitting patiently in his highchair while dishes are being done. You can also see here that the big man is rockin' his summer hairdo!

It's all happening at the zoo...

We are so lucky to have such a beautiful zoo in San Antonio...and a yearly membership to enjoy it! Booker is a fan of the fish and the birds. The tank he standing next to below are in the Africa Live exhibit. The giant hippos didn't compare to the tiny, colorful fish swimming around them, according to Booker!








































































Booker also got to meet some goats up close and personal today. What a thrill! Luckly, we've learned how to give a gentle "pat-pat" so no one got hurt.

And this is what the end of the day looked like...

Peek a Boo at the park and other pics

15 Months!

Ed and Booker spent the whole day over at Grandpa Booker's house the other day. how lucky is this little man to have a 70-something grandpa that will get down on the floor and play!

Booker had his 15 months check up on Tuesday. He weighs a little more than 25 lbs. and measures a little more than 30 inches long. He's in the 25th percentile on both charts...81% in head circumference! Dr. Fitch is so pleased with his growth as are we.

Booker continues to be the most joyful and curious boy! He is very lovey dovey and wants to kiss everybody including our pets and the pictures in his favorite books. He's running at almost full speed, which is frightening! I now understand the need for those animal backpacks with the leash. That may be a purchase in our future!

His favorite foods are turkey sausage, cereal bars and bananas. He can drink from a sippy cup and is working working on a regular cup. He even enjoys the occasional sip of Mom's sparkling lemon water!

Texas Winter

It was chilly but sunny this morning so we hung out in the yard for a bit. We love this Texas winter weather and don't miss snow at all! Booker is still a little unsure of his footing on the grass but managed to pick up a nice big stick that Shiloh, our American Eskimo, promptly stole. We're looking forward to seeing Aunt Hannah this weekend and maybe hitting the San Antonio Zoo on Sunday.
