Push toys and pointer fingers

Douwe's most fun activity is walking behind a push toy. He thinks he is the greatest and looks around wondering if we all think so too! Of course we do! I need to get a photo.

Douwe also tries to tell us everything he is thinking by using his pointer finger and cooing. Today he said, "Look at the airplane!" every 5 minutes . . . my parents house must be under a flight path.

For those of you with toddlers, when does a baby tire of delighting in gravity's magic upon food morsels?

Happy mail day at our house! We got a couple coloring book pages from Steve with a return address on the envelope so we eagerly dropped a return note in the mail.

Douwe and I spent the whole day outside today first at a friend's pool and then in my parents' back yard. don't think August is used to having temps in the 70s, but it sure is wonderful.

Jeff used to live on Lafayette in Griffith, but we can't get on the street to see if the tornado got the house he grew up in.

So, the food dropping has begun, huh? Fun stuff! Just tell yourself that this is a very good sign of cognitive development. It means he's learning - and beginning to understand more about - cause and affect. Not that it means we should let him have at it all the time, right? Now, if only they could learn how to mop the floor.
