We took you to the Farmer’s Market today in the Mill District. You sported your brand new hat and turned heads everywhere we went. Seriously.
In fact, you were SO happy today that you laughed so hard and vigorously in Target (in the Nicolett Mall) that TWO different ladies stopped to say what a wonderful baby you were. You are a charmer, for sure.
Today we went to Art-a-Whirl, an opening of several galleries in Northeast Minneapolis. You were very well behaved and more importantly VERY engaged with the art. Here are some of your critical faces (as well as a chill moment outside the galleries).
At one point we asked you if you liked a piece of eclectic artwork and you exclaimed quite loudly (and seriously enough to make us laugh), “Uhmmm”.
Later, we took you to the Old Spaghetti Factory and mommy got treated to her favorite pasta. It’s also the day we bought baby food (peas) to see how you like it tomorrow.
You’ve started to do a little talking. When it’s quiet, you tend to coo and hum. Sometimes, it even sounds like you’re singing, which isn’t a big surprise, since your mother and I sing to you often.
(By the way, that little nick on your cheek was self inflicted with your deadly claws. But your lack of noticing attests to your future as a scrappy boy)
You really enjoyed getting snazzed up today and doing a little shopping at the Container Store.
Well, we’re not sure where you learned your fancy fighting moves, but after daddy made you laugh & he went to make some dinner, he heard mommy roaring with laughter. Apparently, you were threatening her with so,me very serious boxing poses. You bunched your fists, held them to your face, scowled and growled a little; it was hard not to laugh.
Documented here are your signature moves and your final knockout tactic, “The Killing Smile.”
We took you to see the Museum of Science and Industry today. And while we figured you wouldn’t get as much out of it as mommy, you DID like a couple of things; the Toymaker 3000 (ok, well, you slept through it but it had that effect) and the large swirling vortex in the Science of Storms area.
Other than that, you got pretty cranky after about three hours of crowds, shiny lights and loud sounds. Instead of showing that face, how about the one you made JUST after you ate today?
You’ve started really chatting us up a lot. Not really just grunting or crying, but making some real sounds. And of course, it’s hilarious. This video, compiled from some phone clips shows you at your average chattiniess.
You’ll hear daddy chuckling a lot. Hard not to, since you’re so adorable.
After having had your bottle at Macy’s today, you were alert, clever and generally in a very chipper mood.
You aren’t always the world’s happiest baby (though we try).
Admitted into evidence, the boy annoyed and the boy pacified.
Watching the Bears today, you made some pretty funny faces, as usual.
It's Campbell Time!
