Play Date at the Mall

He can do it all by himself!

We met some friends at the mall for lunch and some play time.  Freddie and Rebecca are there in the background.  The day we were there, we had 5 babies to 3 moms! (Rebecca has twin girls and I was watching Shayla the day we went.)

A Petting Zoo at Home

Who knew after 7 1/2 years that a dwarf bunny could still be fun? Yep, Trinity has been outliving all of our expectations and has been a part of the family for 7.5 years.  (I wonder how excited he would be if we still had the 3 guinea pigs, too! For the curious pet owners, they only lived about 3 years.)

While doing yardwork, Art saw her in the cage and made the bunny face. (It is similar to his fish face.) I told him we could bring her in to pet her.  Luckily she is so old and is quite a calm bunny.

He loved it for about 10 minutes and even put his head next to her and said, "awww."

We have to cut her teeth every few weeks because she has a broken jaw.  They would usually rub against each other to grind down, but not this one.  She has been this way for probably 6 years.

Last Day With the Fishies

Our annual pass for the Georgia Aquarium is up so you won't see too many more posts on those excursions.  I think we went a total of 5 times in a year so we got our use out of them.  We decided not to renew because it wasn't as exciting anymore. We'll have to go back at some point to see the new dolphin exhibit though! 

This is the only picture I got. No fish!  He looks bummed, too.

We went to lunch afterwards and Arthur ate a yellow lollipop.

Here he is with Leila digging in Emma's garden after the trip to see the fish.

A New Trick

Brian said that Art jumped off the chair all by himself. Brian decided he needed a little padding below.

A Helping Hand

We may have had a little more help with the deck, too.

This was his attempt to don the gloves.

A Little Busy Lately...

Sorry blog friends, we've been a little busy.  I am sure you don't care about my life, but I feel like I have a little bit of an excuse.  This is my new backyard.

For those that are curious, this is what it used to look like.  Not the best, but it gives you an idea.

So you ask, why? We used to have a nice paver patio, but the roots from a river birch tree grew under it so we decided to pull it up and cover the roots with a deck.  In hindsight, cutting the tree may have been a better option!  More to come on the progress.  Brian and I have been very busy. (My parents have been amazing with helping get everything together.)

19 Month Mash Up

Here are a few videos that I editted together to show what he has been up to.

2 - He laughs when we say "Aw, man." Sometimes he'll say it too.

3- Playing with bubbles

4- Playing with the basketball hoop
