Our Little Bookworm

Walker is a big fan of books. He loves being read to and loves looking through his books. Turns out, they also make a great teething snack. Mmmmmmm... cardboard!

Bear Boy

Sorry we haven't posted in a week. Jack and I came down with some wicked food poisoning. Ugh. But we're healthy again and back to our old antics. Here is Master Walker sporting a bear cap that Grandpa John picked up from a street vendor in NYC. We're getting ready for Halloween!

Sunday in the park with...

Walker is finally big enough to hold his own on the swing set!

Peek-A-Boo

Yay for new games! Our long curtains provide the perfect prop for a sweet game of peek-a-boo! I'm sure there will come a day when he tries to swing from these curtains... but until then, we'll leave them up.

My Dinner With Andre

Just finishing up a little lunch with Walker:

Stroller Skating

Walker and I went with some other brave Dallas families to the Thunderbird Roller Rink for a session of, what is cleverly referred to as "stroller skating". From 9-noon on Thursdays, the rink opens up the floor to parents with little ones in strollers. Now, I haven't been on a pair of roller skates since 1992 because eighth grade is the upper end of "cool" roller skating age. So, after I got my bearings and realized that my center of gravity has shifted a little since Michelle Rossier's 13th birthday at Flipppos Skate Harbor in Morro Bay, Walker and I enjoyed an hour and a half skating to "Raspberry Beret", "The Safety Dance" and other nostalgic music. A friend of ours snapped the photo below - its a little out of focus, but you get the idea. I think we might make it a weekly event. But we'll see.

Up in the sky...

Play time on Carlisle Street! As if we needed a designated "time" to play. As some of you know, we live on the flight path for Dallas Love Field Airport and Walker's new game is pointing out the planes when they pass by. Check out Walker's sky scouting skills below.


And here is Walker crawling around and enjoying the blue fish tunnel from Great Grandma Doris Atkinson. He loves this thing!
