Day with Dad

"Yay, a day home alone with dad!"  I had a bachelorette party that was an all-day affair down in Denver, so the boys had the day all to themselves.  This is Jameson waking up from his nap excited about what the afternoon has in store.
Ellie often can't wait to rush upstairs when she hears that Jameson is awake.  Here she is waiting patiently at the door, yearning to get inside and see her favorite play pal.

Ellie: OK, I'm in...now he just needs to get out of his cage so he can play!

Since flying home from Natalie's baby shower and having the woman in the seat next to me comment on how much of a life saver Cheerios are with little kids, I made the mistake of buying them!!!  Now Jameson wants to snack on Cheerios all the time and he knows exactly where they are.  And as you can imagine, the dogs love his snacking too!
 
The neighbors brought a bunch of balls over to the park and Jameson must have thought they were there just waiting for him to come out and play!  Balls are his favorite toy these days.  Going over to friends' houses, he goes for any ball toys first.  Waking up in the morning at home, he rushes to play with balls.  At the park and with dad...he thinks he's in heaven!

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? remains one of Jameson's favorite books.  He's gotten really good at starting to pick out objects in various books, such as balls, certain animals, etc., and we can see that his vocabulary is growing as he'll point to objects that we call out.  While Rob and I usually go through Jameson's bedtime routine together, I'm often the one who reads to him.  The boys enjoy a bunch of "silly" time which usually involves chasing, loud noises, tickling and giggles just before getting on pajamas and settling down.  On this night, however, since I was out Jameson also had the excitement of storytime with Daddy.
