Outdoor Adventures

Beau is 2-1/2 now. It's so hard to believe we are already halfway to 3! He's a mess these days. He can be so ornery one minute and so sweet the next. His vocabulary is amazing. For example, today while drinking some milk he said, "There's something delicious in this cup!" When Todd asked him if he could reach the moon, he said, "I think not. It's too far away." A scooter was parked at our house and he said, "Now that is something I have never seen before." When I got home from work the other day, he greeted me with "I'm so excited to see you! We've been worried bout you. Cause I love you so much." Now there's the sweet part that has me wrapped.

His latest "trick" is climbing out of his crib. I honestly can't believe he went this long before trying it. He's definitely testing his boundaries and our patience with this. He is so hard-headed! We are going to have to make plans for a big boy bed soon. He doesn't settle down at night easily. He'll spend an hour thinking up reasons to get up...he's thirsty, he needs to tell me a secret, he needs to tee tee in the potty (convenient timing considering he won't go in it during the day). My mom says I am paying for my raising when it comes to this bedtime battle.

We've spent a lot of time outside in the last few weeks. We took a trip to the Little Rock Zoo during Whitney's spring break and have spent weekends in the yard playing ball and riding Jeep, truck, or car. Here are a few pictures from our latest adventures.

So tickled


Seriously checking out the other kids at the park


He loved riding this horse.


My dare devil was not afraid of this very high slide.

Thank goodness NeeNee was right behind him. Riding the merry-go-round


Ready for some baseball

Step and throw!
I'm pretty good, ya know?!

He's looking pretty comfy.
