Sun's out, guns out.


Summertime with a baby is the greatest time of year. You have a great excuse to do all the fun summer things just because you have someone new to share them with. So far, Hank has been to the beach twice, the pool, a few farmers markets, lots of parks, and birthday party after birthday party. He loves splashing in his baby pool and playing on the slide and in his swing. This weekend we're planning a trip to the zoo and he still has one more big beach trip to go.

As far as his everyday activities, he is crawling like a maniac but doesn't have an interest in walking yet (it's too slow!). He's finally figured out the sippy cup and is eating everything under the sun. He's drawn too books and little plastic balls. He loves playing any little game we make up for him. Especially, finding JJ hiding around a corner. He's also starting to master hiding his own face for peek a boo. The other day he was trying to find the little Daddy hiding behind his musical mirror. He's some pictures to help me explain.

JJ's standing behind him and Hank can see him in the mirror.
Peeking over to see if Daddy is on the other side.
Checking back with the mirror. Yep, still there. How's he doing that?
Of course, once I grab my camera that's the end of the game. So these are the best I could get. Trust me, it was absolutely adorable.

He's just a month and a week shy of his first birthday. I can't believe we are planning his birthday party already. It seems like just a few days ago we were bringing him home for the first time.
