Alo swims & cousins playing

I love the photo above Robb sent of Akuch & Alo playing in the water at Waterfront Park downtown.

Yesterday Alo goes for his first swim. He really enjoyed splashing around on the step while Robb selected his football team.

Then Maya gives Alo a cooking lesson …

Sunday morning with Alo

Yesterday we gave Robb a little help watching Alo & moving some stuff to storage. Alo’s getting bolder with his walking, taking more steps every time we see him.

We have so much fun with him. He’s curious and into everything. I’m pretty sure he said “airplane” 2x yesterday. It really sounded like “airp…” but he was looking and pointing at an airplane flying over at the time. Pretty smart.

He’s working on shoveling food into his mouth (with a little help).

Sparty, green beans & buds

Photo above stolen from Jen’s FB post.

I made these green beans last night using a recipe from Food.com. Not bad …

And lastly, this orchid is quite happy in the patio. I really enjoy taking a stroll out there & checking out all the new growth, buds & flowers.

Every Thursday, Maya comes over to do Pappa’s laundry.

When she’s done with that and cleaning the kitchen, she picks up dog poop and washes the cars …

Here’s Maya feeding Alo (& then herself!) a small piece of her peppermint patty at Nati’s yesterday.

And here’s a giggly Sparty.

Boy in pink & other stuff

There’s really only one boy in pink in this post …IMG_3381.JPG

This morning, Maya and Pappa time (& Annie, too).

So cute … This morning Pappa was sitting on the stairs. Maya slid her finger down his knee surgery scar and said “boo boo.” Then she leaned over and kissed it.

Nati’s @ 11:30??

Catching up

Alo’s walking now, at least when he wants to. He’s still got that separation anxiety with something to hold onto. Robb & Akuch sent me the photo above when I was in Lake Arrowhead.

Bruce took Maya to the beach Thursday and sent me these photos.

I got home mid-afternoon Friday, just in time to play a little and rock Alo to sleep (a very easy task). When he woke up, we spent some quality time out on the grass and took some selfies.

He wasn’t too crazy about wearing that hat, but he looks so darn cute in it!

Yesterday afternoon Bruce and I spent about 4 hours cleaning the basement. I went through most of the non-paperwork/non-photos boxes from Billi’s house. It feels so good to be done with that portion of the boxes, and to have obtained back a big chunk of spare space.

This morning Robb sent me this photo of Alo at the park in his new little sandals.

Lots of pictures today to make up for no grandkid photos all week. Now I need some of Sparty …
