February

Our Toddler is great with his little brother. He'll often choose to play beside him and makes sure he always has a toy to play with. If I'm in the middle of something when our baby starts to fuss I know big brother will immediately run to him saying "[first name] hi! [first name] hi! [first name] hi!" and try to give him a toy. (This made me realize I tell our baby 'hi' when I go to him, haha.)

He loves to help me get ready to vacuum. He helps get everything off the floor (I think he particularly loves piling toys on the couch) and helps move the chairs. It seems to be quite fun for him.

For Christmas my sister Clar gave our toddler this play dough/dump truck kit for making rocks with play dough. We finally took it out this month and he has since wanted to play with it all the time.



Smiling for the camera. While he smiles often, he's not usually inclined to do it for the camera.


The first pic is when he first took the towel from the bathroom to be a blanket for Curious George. That towel is now a permanent member of his stuffed animal collection and provides warmth for George every nap and night.


Our little comedian with his interpretation of a baby having tummy time. He lined up a bunch of toys, got on his tummy, and then pushed all the toys out of reach.


One Saturday we went to Storyville.  The baby and I had fun in the baby area but would occasionally go to see what the others were up to.  Always seemed our toddler was having fun too.
