Picnic

At the company picnic I managed to catch Niko’s “waiting dance” on camera. Until this point it had not yet been recorded.

Niko also proved to be a very serious spiderman, a giddy horse rider, and a big fan of water bounce like-like blow up thingies. And we rode a chairlift. Which is very odd without skis. Three hours and nine blue cupcakes later, he crashed the second he hit the car seat.

Sometimes I ask him to read the book to me.

My sister is posting to Buzz, which in itself is news. But the picture is damn cute as well.

Silas

Welcome to the world Silas.

At first I felt like the call was a lot like an Apple commercial. Then I realized it was actually the Apple commercial that was a lot like the call.

This week Niko declared, “I can swim, all…by…myself.” And sure enough, he could.

Yellow, sleeping in the booth

Scott — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 02:23:21 +0000

We got to climb on the Darien fire department fire trucks this weekend. Apparently this excitement was so exausting that when I took the boy to dinner, he fell asleep in the booth. We also got new neighbors with a little girl Niko’s age. Good for the boy, good for us, dancing all around. Plus we did some wall jumping. Because you know, that is what they are for. Jumping.

Donuts, PJs
