July 2016 Recap

Obviously we have had a busy July. I've already posted our 4th of July weekend and our big news, but I wanted to make sure to post what we did with Matt before the new arrival.

This month has been a hot one, which somewhat limited our outdoors time, but we did manage a number of excursions.
We went to some playgrounds.

Driving a tractor

Riding on a turtle

Digging in the sand

Riding in the ladybug

Crawling on a crocodile

Beep beep in the jeep

We did a child development study at our alma mater.

Standing in front of Dada's college

With his prize (he picked out the bunny himself)

We went to the berry farm to see the animals and do some blueberry picking with friends.

Saying hi to the ducks and (big) horse

Picking blueberries

Picking raspberries later that afternoon off of our own bushes (yes, that's Matt's hand, not mine)

Matt went to the zoo.

Posing with the gorilla

We played a lot inside when it was too hot...

Drinking "coffee"

Driving his Thomas bus and trains on the mat

Putting together a train puzzle

Curious George blasts off

Getting a haircut from Dada

Making music

And we played a lot outside when it was not too hot.

Going "fishing"

Examining the bee he caught

Splashing in puddles

Riding his tricycle (he does well when it goes downhill but hasn't quite mastered pedaling enough to return uphill or even go on level surfaces)

Ringing the doorbell

Watching the butterfly

I'll close with Matt doing one of his favorite things: reading (which he does more and more as he naps less and less - not the worst tradeoff, for sure!).
