Day 307 - Coming Through

"Coming through.  Watch out!"

No nook or cranny is safe.  Be warned.

Day 306 - House

"Come on in, there is plenty of room!"

Just some outdoor patio fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Day 305 - Time to Play

"I think it's time to go play now Kaija. You start barking so they come let us out."

Changing out of Pajamas is clearly optional.

Day 304 - Big Slide

"Let's do that again, that was fun."

Leevi has moved on up to the big kid slides.  (Also, apparently that is his "playground outfit."

Day 303 - Troublemaker

"What Grandma?  No, I won't grab everything off of the table.  Don't worry."

Lies.  Lies. Lies.  Leevi has a big everything.  reach.  And is curious about just about everything he can reach.

Day 302 - Go-Karts

"Wait for me Paige!"

Our driveway is pretty much a go-kart track these days.  Some day Leevi will be able to keep up.  Today was not that day.

Day 301 - Hanging by the Pool

"Let's go that way!"

Paige had swimming lessons, so Leevi had to hang out on the pool deck.  He made the most of it.

Day 300 - Decision Face

"Hmmmmm..."

Leevi had a tough decision to make apparently.

Day 299 - Behind Bars

"So, you are going to let me out of here, right?"

Babies spend a fair amount of time behind bars.  Leevi doesn't mind too much most of the time.

Day 298 - Jump Zone?

"Is this all that you have for us to play with?"

Well, the jump zone isn't quite as exciting for the infants and toddlers.  His sister sure had a good time.

Day 297 - FaceTime

"Hey MorMor Teri!"

Leevi is also starting to get interested in FaceTime.  Pretty amazing that video chat is so easy to operate that a 4 year old can do it and show her little brother.

Day 296 - Bath in Black

"This bath time sure is starting to get fun."

Leevi was not super excited about warm baths.  He is starting to turn that around though.

Day 295 - Uncomfortable

"zzz."

It is amazing the different positions that babies can find comfortable enough to sleep in.

Day 294 - More Dirt.

"I think there is more dirt this way!"

Dirt, Dirt, and More Dirt.  As to be expected I suppose.

Day 293 - Carry A Big Stick.

"Hmmm, what can I whack with this?"

Sun, water, dirt, sticks.  Summer has arrived, despite the date.

Day 292 - Packing Up

"Is it already time to go?  It went so quickly!"

Unfortunately with camping comes cleaning up and packing on the last day.  The site always looks so empty when you are done.  

Day 291 - Ladder Golf

"This looks fun, can it be my turn?"

We had the annual ladder golf tournament, and Leevi wanted to get in on the action.  Or maybe it was just the golf balls that he wanted.

Day 290 - All smiles again.

"Let's take the wagon for a spin."

Temporary grumpiness was clearly the case.

Day 289 - A couple of grumps.

"Do I look amused?"

Guess they were a little grumpy today.

Day 288 - Walk.

"Let's try this stroller out.  Looks fun."

Well, it's that time of year again.  Time for camping.  Leevi was clearly ready for a walk.

Day 287 - Up.

"Up."

Yeah, pretty self explanatory I think.

Day 286 - Tuesday Soccer

"Ball!  Ball!  Ball!"

We made it back in time for Paige's soccer game.  Leevi was very excited to see all of the soccer balls around.

Bonus Photo:
"Jump again."

Paige was showing Leevi the finer points of jumping on a trampoline.  It took some time for Leevi to adjust to the surface, but had fun anyway.

Day 285 - Bumpy Roads

"Let's go for another ride. The bumps are great."

A short trip to the cabin wouldn't be complete without a ride or two in the push along car.  Bumpy roads and all.  Leevi doesn't seem to mind.

Day 284 - Bridge Construction

"I'll hold it up, you go get the supplies!"

Just a little bridge construction.

Day 283 - Hunting Rabbits

"Be very quiet Kaija, don't bark too soon!"

We have a plethora of wildlife that likes to run through our back yard.  Rabbits, squirrels, pheasant, mice, muskrat, you name it.  Kaija is definitely quite interested.  Leevi, not quite as much, but still very interested.

Day 282 - Baby Healing Powers

"I'm feeling a lot better."

It is pretty amazing how quickly kids can heal.  Leevi had quite the scratch on his forehead, and it is quickly diminishing.

Day 281 - Alligator Swamp

"Do you think there are REAL alligators in that swamp?"

We decided to take the kids out to eat at the Water Street Brewery (yes, it is kid friendly, and yes, they do have a kids menu), which is a local restaurant and brew pub.  Very good food, pretty bad beer.  They have a nice patio that overlooks a wetland type area and....the freeway.  The loud, busy freeway.  We probably won't go back.

Day 280 - A Leevi in Motion stays in Motion

"This doesn't belong here.  Time for it to move."

Leevi is moving.  He is moving all the time.  Lots and lots of energy.
