New Toys and Somersaults

I can't believe how much Roland is changing everyday.  Just seems like yesterday that he was wobbly on his feet but now he walks, runs, climbs, and tumbles with confidence.  He is a climber and everyone needs to be on their toes these days.  This is just a peek of how we spent another rainy day in Portland.  I love this photo. 

 

At The Payground

Hello everyone. Its Monday and its a beautiful spring day in Portland. Roland and I went to a playground near us and it was packed with kids.  He is learning to play games with his peer group and can  go down the small-fry slide all by himself. He's still a bit clumsy stepping down steps but learning to hang on when stepping down.  I wanted to take some video but found I needed to have him in one place so the swing was it.  

Into Everything

Roland is just the perfect combination of his dad and mom. Sometimes I see Kasey at that age and other times I see Jake.  I see Jake in this photo. Now that he has the run of the house he is into everything. 

Roland's Favorite Game At Grandma's

Its Monday again and Roland is visiting on another rainy day. Today we found a new play group and I will update that later when I feel more comfortable with the other parents to take videos. But today after the play group we played his favorite game. We Roland proofed the rest of the house and now he can run in circles and loves hide and seek. Grandma hides and Roland seeks.

A Visit To the Big Boys Park

On Easter Sunday Kasey and I took Roland to the big kids park.   He did well with the equipment but has a fascination with bikes.   He also found the big mud puddle but I was unable to get to him before he waded in.  I did give it my best effort and Kasey actually replied that she hadn't seen me run that fast before.  After he was muddy we just let him splash in the mud amid the gasps of the other parents and kids.  As luck might have it my camera batteries were dead so I can just share that the hardest part was keeping ourselves clean while we changed his muddy clothes and shoes.

Just Hangin With Uncle Roman

Just seems like yesterday that Uncle Roman was cradling Roland in his hands. Now they can both enjoy a  lazy rainy afternoon enjoying the toons.  

Baby Blue Eyes

 The sun fell across Roland's face and illuminated his lovely blue eyes.
