Cape May Memorial Day

Practicing for Seattle

Member night at the aquarium.. Walked out in a torrential downpour. Waited it out. Biked home in the rain. 

Mid - May and THIS is why we're leaving Baltimore! 

Colton takes Seattle

This last week we went and checked out Seattle - - trying to decide if we want to move there or not. Since it's just before C's 2nd birthday, it was the last trip we could take C as a lap child and not pay for his seat. We risked it, thinking he'd probably get his own seat anyways/the plane wouldn't be full. We were wrong. The plane was completely full/Colton had to sit on our lap the entire 5 hours. We decided not to risk it for the ride home and bought him his own seat. Of course the flight was only half full. Oh well!

 

Taking over Mom's seat. No worries, I just stood in the aisle :)

 

Wouldn't sleep 1 second on the plane, but the second we get in the car, he's out! At least it helped him adjust to the time change!

 

The cute little house in Wallingford we rented!

Thank you to some college friends who babysat so we could go out a few nights after C was asleep!

 

Checking out Suz' fav bagel spot in Bellingham

 

Bellingham, WA - a day trip

 

the best donuts ever at Might O's - and they were vegan!

 

The rain doesn't stop this kid - I think he enjoyed all the puddles and not sweating just from being outside!

Colton's very favorite park of life - Meridian Park

  

So long Seattle. We hope to see you on a more permanent basis starting July 2016... unless we just love Denver that is! Stay tuned.

 

23 Months

this sweet little nugget is 23 months (and now a few days) old! he's been a bit slower on the talking front compared to some of his friends, mainly because of the extensive signing he does, but is now really catching up. just this week he's started saying, 'i food,' 'i sleep,' 'i outside,' 'i do this,' 'i do that.' it is adorable. his words are finally starting to become more distinctive and he's adding syllables! it's just so sweet.

still potty trained. and man is life easier! even on our 5 hour flight, he did great. better than i expected. he likes peeing outside on trees the best - imagine!

he has a new obsession with trains (choochs)

still obsessed with playing outside.. and his dad.. and bath time.. and eating... and riding the bike..and reading... and coloring.. and playing ball... and playing in the 'back'

he's very into doing things himself - opening his banana in the morning, putting his own pants and shoes on, and the like. he even likes to read his own book while you're reading another book out loud to him..! ha.

love this boy so so much and can't believe he's going to be two in less than a month! seattle pictures to come!
