Inflatable Fun!

Here's some video of Fischer playing at Backyard Adventures...an indoor, inflatable play-place for kids! (we don't let him play with his pacifier in all the time...he was just getting tired and fussy towards the end):

He liked this big slide, but it was hard work for mommy and auntie to carry him up!

Texas Time!

Fischer and I went on a whirl-wind trip to Texas this weekend to see all of Dustin's family...we flew in on Friday, visited with the Jones family on Saturday, the Henry family on Sunday, a waterpark on Monday, then flew back Tuesday...whew!!

Fischer preparing to make a boat with Grandma at Lowe's (he didn't finish...he got scared when I walked off):

Playing cars with Grandpa:

More cars...still a favorite activity:

Uncle Solomon showing him how to make the dog bark:

He was tired here and didn't want his picture taken with Nanny and PeeWee:

What else would you expect to find in a Texas mall? :)

Fun with cousin Tara (but he wouldn't sit for a picture):

Notice how Fischer is in the middle, with everyone's chairs pulled up around him...the center of attention as always!

MawMaw and PawPaw (his great-grandparents):

Great-Uncle Gene and Great-Aunt Debbie (am I making you feel old yet?):

Great-Uncle Bill and Great-Aunt Elaine (sorry Grandpa Jack and Granna...I must have been packing up when you had your picture with Fischer):

Playing with Uncle Patrick at Castaway Cove:

Explorations V Children's Museum

We are blessed to have a children's exploration museum in town for good, indoor fun! Here's some pics of Fischer with all the hands-on activities:

Climbing into the hot-air balloon basket:


The treehouse for little ones only (I can't count how many times he went up and down those stairs!):


Flying a jet plane:


Grocery shopping at Publix-they have little carts and check out lines that beep when you scan items (he thought the tomatoes were balls and tried to bounce them!):

Ready for take-off in the space shuttle:

Reading the evening news:

Heading out to pick some oranges:

Lately

Here's some things that went on the end of July/early August:

Fischer's new favorite activity to do outside is to sit and put rocks in a bucket (he's fascinated with putting things in, pulling things out, and pouring right now)


Fun times at Funtasia (an indoor, air-conditioned playground!):

Playing with Great-Granny:

Cousin Emily came for a visit! (yes, they are reading a cookbook - Fischer insisted)

VBS program:

He Can Count!!

As I mentioned before, Fischer has learned to count from 2-5 (I have to say "one" to start him). I finally got it on video! His voice is very soft, but clear...and notice I am repeating him, he's saying the next number on his own! By the way, I am not drilling my toddler with academics...he learned this from one of his favorite books and suprised us all! He also thinks he's saying the alphabet after counting, but he's not even close :)

This is the 100th Post!

Yep, this is the 100th time I have added pictures of my precious little boy! I have to quit calling him my "baby" boy b/c he's not much of a baby anymore! He is trying to say everything we say, even if he doesn't come close, and he suprises us with new words every day! He's better at sounds than words, but he's trying :) Oh, and he can count from 2-5 now (I have to start him with 1)...but I haven't gotten a very good video of it yet...he's hard to catch! Here's some fun pics from lately:

Fischer wanted this nice lady to help him down the step :)

Bubble bath beard! (he was trying to eat the bubbles, and came up like this)

Daddy's teaching him how to properly open his mouth for tooth-brushing:

Church picnic for the 4th of July...it was hot!!


Fischer found my glasses, then managed to put them on himself...here he's watching his feet as he walks...I think it looked distorted to him, because he was walking funny!

Recent Videos

Fischer just LOVED this toy he got to bring home from VBS:

Here's a swim lesson video where we can actually see the difference the lessons are making...we still have a little ways to go, but we're getting close!!
