Munchie was a trooper yesterday, tagging along with us as we went to look at five more houses yesterday! The above house is on Virginia Street, and we're leaning toward it because of its small town charm and price tag that would allow me to continue staying home with Stephen.
It was in the 70s yesterday, so we made ourselves a little patio picnic. Munchie dined on hid butterfly teether and a water bottle. I read him the book of James and pointed out all the birds.
Don't ask me why he likes this.
And yes, I did untangle him after I took the pictures!
Stephen's happy, but his folks both have bags under their eyes because some little 7-month-old didn't want to sleep last night! Perhaps he's teething, but I still haven't seen any pearly whites.
Though I see a scattering of snowflakes out the window as I write, the week began in the upper 70s. Monday was exceptionally family-friendly because Joe was able to get off work early. So we loaded up the Munchie, the snugli and the camera and headed to Jeffers Bend on the north side of town. It's no Cleveland Metroparks or Cook County Forest Preserve, but the wooded area near the water treatment facility has a twist of pea gravel trails, a lazy river and a bird viewing area, along with a complete absence of visitors, making it a great quiet getaway.
He was happy the whole time.
When I saw Joe head out the back door with Munchie on his shoulders I just knew I had to snap some shots. Today was in the upper 60s and the sun came out around 4 p.m.
In case you're wondering, Munchie's graphic T reads "The world needs messy people" and has Pig Pen on the front... He's finally big enough to wear it-- thanks, Aunt Betsy!
If I don't give him the duck to chew, he snatches the washcloth out of my hand and dunks it into the tub before sucking all the soapy water out of it. And that's really gross so we don't let him do it.
Many thanks to Emily Chappelear for this fun activity center... where Stephen can expend some of his violent energy without damaging anything or anyone!
