Babbling and baths

David has recently started babbling more.  He can say “mama” and “dada” (which are great to hear, even if the words don’t have any real meaning to him.)  He will also engage in “conversation,” sometimes even with Grammy over the phone.

Chris just moved David to the big bathtub upstairs.  He was anxious at first, but he quickly warmed up to it and loves it now.  He’ll even crawl up to the spout and put his head under the stream of water when it’s on.  It’s pretty cute.

Burritos, sprinklers, and puppies

Well, David sure had a fun weekend!
We celebrated Cinco de Mayo by trying a new taqueria that was recommended by a friend.  It was definitely more upscale that our tried and true favorite: there were no vinyl table cloths, the counters were made of marble, and I was able to order in English.  The burritos were OK, but … man.. David LOVED it.  There were two TV’s, brightly colored walls, and lots of people.  Chris gave him a plastic cup to play with, and he couldn’t have been happier.  Chris and I haven’t had such a relaxing dinner in … well … 9 months.
Today, we took David to the park, and I had forgotten that they turn on the sprinklers in May.  After crawling around on the grass for a while, David noticed the sprinklers, and there was no stopping him.  He was right in the middle of all of the activity.  One of the fathers even dubbed him “all-terain” … so I guess he has a new nickname.  Add to a few friendly puppies to all of this excitement, and David really had a blast.

Backyard Baby

David has been enjoying the unseasonably hot weather we’re having.  Yesterday, we took him to Burton park.  Although all of the playground equipment was too hot for climbing, David met a friend who played with him.  The two boys crawled around chasing each other … it was adorable!

Today, we set David up in the backyard with a little inflatable pool.  He had a blast!  (I’m sure you can tell by the photos below.)

David has also been playing inside … he never sits still and is ALWAYS into something.  In addition, he’s hit two milestones recently: pointing and listening to me when I tell him “no.”  Here are a few pics of the little guy.

Last night, we went out for burritos to celebrate Chris’ birthday.  As a special surprise, the taqueria gave us fresh squeezed orange juice in honor of Chris.  As you can see below, David enthusiastically tried it, though I think he got more on his jacket than he did in his mouth.
