My parents were visiting this past weekend, while Tyler was on a manventure in Montana with his best buds, and got some fun shots of our time together.
Chowing down on some yogurt and tilapia spears
(sounds classier than "fish sticks" huh?).

"You mind Gma? I'm trying to eat here..."
And showing off his molars after bathtime

"That's it lady, I'm going to snatch that camera!"
Lost in thought during a pre-breakfast snack at his table.

"It's like I don't even notice the flash anymore."
Last swimming lessons of the season

"I can kick my legs, reach my arms, and just about pull myself out of the pool. I'm supposed to blow bubbles and enjoy getting dunked, but I'll save that for next year!"
Playing on the dinosaur in his new dino outfit!

"Did you get this pic, Grandma? It's a keeper!"
Swinging so high
"weeee!"
Besides his usual lovefest with Grandma and Grandpa,
the icing on the cake was his birthday present from Aunt Jess and Uncle Michael, who thoughtfully saved delivery until Ben was old enough to use it. A cozy coupe for Ben!
He really loves it. I mean, sits in it like a chair, won't let anyone (including Zoe) near it, opens and shuts the door relentlessly, loves it. Thanks Isle family! I'm sure he'll let you take him for a spin when you come down in just a few weeks! We love you!

G&G have gone 4 weeks between visits in the past but this is the first time Ben has made so many noticeable developmental advances during that time. He is so much more confident and steady on his feet. He navigates his little world as if he owns the place! He understands so much more of what is being said to him to him and can follow instructions. He doesn't always like that part! :-)He also jabbers on in full sentences. Now, we're not exactly sure what he's saying but we can tell that he knows! 18 months is a great age!
Ahhh, the BEST toddler toy...the cozy coupe! Hayden enjoys rides in his car daily! What a GREAT gift!
Ben is growing up so much! Maybe we'll get to see you guys when we're down for Jonah's arrival in a few weeks!
so glad it was a hit! Sorry it came assembly required though- very impressed at the progress of one afternoon! Looks like an activity-filled weekend.
Let the Labor Day countdown begin!
You better update your blog before you leave, missy! (you never update in Canada, and I know they have internet access there.)
And yes, I do enjoy being a black kettle, thanks pot!
