some new stuff

Big guy eating green apple at the zoo.

The summer has been moving at such a quick pace. I've had this new stuff waiting to be posted. So, here it goes. Big guy has really been exploring the world of fruits this summer. He will always eat pureed stuff-but he's been an adventurous little man with the real fruit. I've realized that he isn't too fond of eating cold fruit chunks. Besides cold beverages and cold grapes, he likes food a bit closer to room temperature. I've been letting fruit sit out during the day (covered of course). We've tackled cantaloupe-which he loved after a long morning of playing with the sand/water table. And green apple has been especially fun.

Big guy also went for his first wagon ride! (Video below) At cousin C's b-day party we climbed in and had so much fun. Big guy was loving life-kind of like being in the stroller but with more room to groove. He had this really serious look on his face during the ride. And then we threw in some water-too fun. We may have to invest in a wagon for the future.

And finally, big guy doesn't have that baby soft skin anymore. Instead, cute little blond hairs have popped up on his legs. And now that he's a rough and tumble toddler, he's all texturized with bumps and scrapes from his life outside. I knew he wasn't always going to have the super soft baby skin, but somehow it seemed sad when I was with an 8 month old baby the other day. He's getting so big so fast. It's amazing. That is some of the new stuff big guy has been up to. check out big guy in the wagon with hubs:

*PS- try to ignore how high pitched and annoying I sound on the video - I really hope I don't sound like that in real life!
