Happy Easter

Proof that he got treats in his eggs!

Making progress

Yes! That is a goat AND Miles is petting it!! We went to baby animal days at This is the Place monument park yesterday. The weather was lousy and Miles was teething, but this was the perfect distraction. Not so much for the baby animals, but more for the wide, bumpy roads, rocks, sticks and hills to run around on. Oh, and let's not forget the little bridge inside the goat pen. He went over it again and again and again and....well, you get the picture! He loves practicing inclines, declines, stairs and any challenging footing-like ruts and bumps in the road. It's great for his motor skills, so if we have the time (and we usually do :-) ), I say- 'why not?' As for the goat, I have no idea why he was so brave. Perhaps because they were laying down and not making noise or looking at him. Who knows? He also touched a baby bunny and chick. It's certainly not his favorite thing, but he did give it the 'ole college try!

Cutest shirt!

It's still a teeny bit big (the sleeves are rolled), but once I put it on, I couldn't bear to take it off!

The pile-up

I just love when I turn the corner and find scenes like this:

Meatballs!

Delicious!

A toddler's work is never done

Heirlooms

This was my rocking chair when I was little and that is the blanket his Aunt Mary made him. It certainly makes it worthwhile that I took this with me on all my moves. He's really into hauling it around the house and trying to sit in it.

17 months!

These pictures will give you a great idea of what it's like around here these days:

When you are close to the ground, you notice every little thing. Rocks, leaves, sticks, various wrappers and discarded trash are key items of interest!

And.....

.........he's off!

Thank goodness spring has finally arrived, this boy loves, loves, loves to be outside. I'm already gearing up mentally for the challenge of keeping him out of the sun this summer. It's going to be interesting.
