Moving!

8.23.09

I think Tynan wanted to make sure we didn't forget him!

Well, it is definitely a challenge packing and moving with a 13-month-old. He still needs to be supervised pretty much all of the time, he doesn't understand when we tell him to stay out of the street, and he is too young to sit in front of the Backyardigans while we load things up. He also gets immense enjoyment from climbing onto, then off of, then onto, then off of, etc., the moving trailer. He pulls things out of the boxes faster than we can put them in. He pushes boxes and/or furniture around on the carpet and/or climbs onto/into them. Perhaps we should have moved last year after all!

Many many thanks to Christy, who distracted Tynan and also watched him at her house for several productive moving/cleaning hours. And to Christy's boyfriend Tighe for helping out and taking Tynan to a BBQ. Thanks also to Shawn's parents and my parents and Aunt Nikki for coming to help. We would never have finished without you guys!

Water Fountains

8.16.09

Tynan liked the water fountain so much that we decided to take him to play in the water again. This park is much closer to our house and has an enormous playground with super soft spongy stuff underneath the equipment and several water fountains. Tynan got himself soaked!

Thirteen Months!

Tynan is 13 months old today. (Please ignore his toys strewn about the living room. He pulls them from the toy bin faster than I can put them in!)

Beer Fest

8.9.09

Okay I know I am very very very behind on posts. . . D'oh! We bought a house, packed, moved, cleaned the old place, and (mostly) unpacked at the new house. So I think that calls for a little leeway, right? Eh? Eh?

On this day we all went to a beer festival. Shawn and I sampled different brews while Tynan sweated off his blue tinted sunscreen. (It is supposed to turn clear when it soaks in. I don't know if Tynan has my fair skin or I used way too much - he looked like an alien baby for most of the day!) To cool off, we went walking through the water fountain. Shawn had to sit out for a while because I made him drink the beers I didn't like. When we got home, both boys had to nap to recover from the heat!
