Fun at the Park!

I feel mean writing this when so much of the country is in the middle of a HUGE blizzard, but in the valley of Northern California, today was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! It's still pretty cold--low 60's? and it was 30 this morning, but the sun was actually out. So, around 3:00 Jacob and I headed to the park. Today was our most successful park day. There were about 10 other kids there, so Jacob had some people to look at besides his mommy. As always he LOVED the swings, but today he went down the slide by himself without me making him. Here are some pictures of Jacob--some are a bit light; sorry, it was TOO sunny for my cheap-o camera!

Here are a few pictures on the swings: (you can click on the pictures to see them bigger!)




I love his dimples! And look how high he is!


And on the slide play structure:

the first shows his great smile, the second shows how expressive he is when he is "talking" to him mommy!


If we don't play outside, Jacob finds strange things to play with. He can't stop carrying the plunger around! In the second picture it looks like he is playing it like a flute! Now you know why I take him to the park to play!


We're hoping to be able to do this tomorrow, too! It's a good walk for me, and Jacob clearly LOVES it. And, I LOVE that I don't have to clean up after him. You should see the mess he's making of Larry's office while I post this blog...
