Alo / Amma Time

Alo and I had great fun yesterday. He likes sitting in Amma’s spot on the couch like a big boy.

He and Ernie are good friends.


Alo really likes to be in charge of the remote control. To see him in action, you’ll have to click on this YouTube link:

Bruce & Alo with some Maya selfies

I came home yesterday to put on a pair of jeans to head off to work and found Bruce & Alo enjoying some playtime.

Alo doesn’t last very long in tummy time.

Sunday after the Zoo, Maya mixes having yogurt with taking selfies.

She’s quite the expert at silliness.

Sorry I missed yesterday. We had a huge closing at work and my assistance was needed.

More Zoo – the playground

If you haven’t been to the Zoo lately, there are a lot of small areas where kids can play and climb on things. Maya insisted we stop here so she could burn up some of her energy.

Alo at the park – Special Monday Evening Edition

20140217123637

The picture above is an animation Robb sent me. Click on it and another window will open where you’ll see the animation. It’s pretty cool. I’ll need to learn how he did that. Robb’s a lot better with this stuff than I am.

Below are some stills. This boy’s going to be crawling soon!

One on One – The Zoo!

I took Maya to the Zoo yesterday afternoon. We saw the giraffes, rhinosaurus, zebras, flamingoes, koala bears, wallabies, camels & elephants, and she got to play at one of the playgrounds.

Here, this camel was laying right by the fence scratching its head and neck on the rock, so we got a really up-close view of it. It was pretty cool.

Having a picture taken with the gorilla is a must!

I tried to get Maya to stick her finger in the gorilla’s nose, but she refused. Go figure …

btw, I now have a “Zoo” category for my blog posts, which means there are lots more visits in the future, and I can’t wait until Alo’s a little older to take there!

Alo spent a few hours with me. Here are a couple videos of what he was up to.

Yesterday afternoon, Maya at swim.


I have more swim videos, but the files are too large to add to my blog. I’ll upload to YouTube and will post the link tomorrow.

JOY

Although I had to work and didn’t get to spend time with the grandkids, I experienced great JOY to have these pictures texted to me.

Bruce & Maya at the beach.

When I got home from work, I sat with Alo for a little while. He was doing some “tummy time” on my lap and before I knew it, he had scooted & pushed with his feet and legs until he was completely off my lap. I patted his little bottom lightly and the next thing I knew, he passed out.

So precious, and we are so blessed to have these little people in our lives.
