I've also learned he does not do well in new places without a friend. We went to the splash park nearby and he did not want to get wet until he met a little girl and played ball with her for awhile. Then when she splashed in the puddles he did, too. However, he looked really cute in his swim outfit and was definitely the most covered up kid there!
When my parents were in town, we went miniature golfing. Surprisingly he stayed interested through the 16th hole. He was in charge of putting all of the balls the last 3 feet into the hole, and he was adamant that only one ball could be in the hole at a time. He would sink one, then go to sink another, see the first one and chuck it as far as he could away from the hole. Also, his ball color had to match his club color at all times, so each ball he putted meant a new club.
This is my dad and J and the new "b" my grandmother knitted him. He took to it instantly as it was made with love by the same grandma who made his original (large) favorite blanket. This one is small enough to be portable. I guess being the grandmother to 27 and mother to 10 means she really really knows what goes into a perfect baby blanket. He LOVES his "b"s and no others will do!
We went to Cracker Barrel for Chris's grandma's birthday and J fell in love with this caterpillar. I wish I'd known how much he was going to love rocking-- not 6 weeks ago I passed up the cutest rocker for less than $20 because he wasn't interested in it at all!!
A family picture with my brother. After 25 shots or so we finally got this one and it just shows that J really is almost 2! Ironically, he willingly posed with me for the test shots 15 minutes before my bro arrived, cheesing for the camera and everything!
