We went to visit Grami and Poppy over the weekend and had beautiful weather, and some of these photos are from the trip. Grami and Poppy live in north Georgia near Helen in a woodsy, gated community with hiking trails, a lake, and horses. Fenn enjoyed playing outside near the lake, walking over the bridge, going to a nearby playground, meeting some of the horses,... oh, and meeting the barn's resident cat. At the playground, Dan took Fenn down the enclosed spiral slide... and Fenn came out at the bottom with a huge smile on his face. Unfortunately, we were out mid-day, so the harshness of the sun affected my photos. {It's really hard to get good photos in that kind of light.} I kind of wish we had waited to go out later in the day, after Fenn's nap, when the sun was not so harsh.
So.... what is Fenn doing these days?
:: He loves sitting and playing in his little chair. He even stands up in it and jumps up and down while holding onto the back. I predict our first trip to the ER in the not so distant future. {If you look closely at the photo below, you can see his crooked tooth (the one he broke a few months ago) and some of his molars.}
:: I have commented several times about how much he likes books. Now he'll actually pick out a book, bring it to you, turn around, back up, and sit down in your lap. Sometimes, he doesn't quite get close enough and he'll sit down too early.
:: He doesn't actually say the word 'dog' yet. The way he says 'dog' is to stick out his tongue and pant like a dog. {According to a little baby's book of sign language I have, that's actually the sign for 'dog'.... at least the one for babies to use.}
:: He takes Petey's football to him and tries to give it to him. Or, he'll bring it to me so I can throw it down the hall and make Petey go get it.
:: Last Sunday morning when I was sleeping in, Dan said that twice Fenn went and stood outside our bedroom door saying "Ma Ma Ma Ma". Dan finally brought him in and let him wake me up. That's the best way to wake up ever!
:: A couple of times when I have asked him if he's ready to eat breakfast or dinner, he has walked over to his high chair and waited for me to put him in it.
:: He now says 'Uh Oh' when he drops something.... but he says it as "Uh Uh" or "Uh Oo".
:: He has mastered getting on and off the Mickey Mouse truck he got from his Uncle T and Aunt A. We even caught him standing up on the seat with the proudest look on his face. I'll repeat... ER, we'll be visiting you soon!
:: We've had a step ladder in his new bedroom for a while now because Dan was using it to paint the room. If you don't keep an eye on him, he tries to climb it.
:: He has started taking the throw pillows off the sofa and putting them on the floor and then diving onto them.
:: The other day, he disappeared into his room and his daddy followed him a few seconds later. Fenn was sitting on the floor trying to put on his shoes. And another day, I followed him into our room and he was trying to put his feet in his daddy's shoes.
