Much of our free time these days is spent like this:
Walking laps around our house with the little guy. He’s just so excited to be walking, notice the tongue… it’s always out like that in a combination of concentration and sheer joy. It’s so much fun to see him developing so quickly, but any parent that has done this for 20 minutes straight knows that it’s a killer on your back to lean over and support a person who is all of 2 foot nothin’.
Unfortunately, L.A. doesn’t really understand that and crumples on the floor in a fit of frustration when C or I need a break. Despite the fact that he has at least 5 different types of “walking toys”, apparently none are as good as Mom or Dad’s hands. How can you say no to that?
Just so that I can thoroughly embarrass my teenage son when he reads through these entries one day, how about Tongue Exhibit part 2? Despite the fact that these pictures were taken in almost the same location, it should be noted that this was on lap 38 or so.
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
Kimberly - LA looks like Jason Giambi when he’s running around the bases with his tongue hanging out… no biggie, it’s a Yankees fan thing!
Jaidean - He is too dang cute!
This has been Emery the last week too…just reaches up for our hands to walk her everywhere. She finally took some steps by herself tonight. This is my second child and it is still so dang exciting!
C - Thanks Kimberly for the Yankees reference. We are also Yankees fans! Hopefully LA can be more Alex Rodriguez than Jason Giambi. Less ‘roids and more Madonna.
Kristen - These are great pictures Crista!
I love the look on his face ..
Marisol - Crista you take some awesome pictures! Keep up the good work and by the way congratulation’s on P2. You and C look so happy together.
