At The Park & Kevin "Singing"

At The Park

We took advantage of the return of nice weather and took a walk to the park. Gram and Grandpa G. joined us. Grandpa pulled Andrea in the wagon, stopping frequently to give her a mini-marshmallow or Smarties to eat. (Talk about travelling in style!) Gram walked with me and Kevin, who was enjoying a stroller ride.


The kids love the swings (well, it's all Kevin can go on--but Andrea really does love them!). Grandpa does fun things like push Andrea really high, spell out her name in the sand, make her swing go crooked, and give her mid-air high fives!


***
Kevin is still more of an observer. He likes the swings now, but they seem to relax him more than excite him. He likes to sit in the swings and watch all the people in the park. Today, I gave him my sunglasses to play with and he didn't want to give them up!


(nice face in the above picture, eh?)

We're encouraging Andrea to try out the "big girl" swings. This is the second time she's been on them. She's still pretty nervous, and will only stay on for a minute or two. She hangs on tight and keeps her eyes on the ground!

Kevin "Singing"

Kevin's very vocal this week. It's amazing how the babbling has suddenly gone into overdrive, and we hear a constant stream of "Mum-ma" and "D-D-Da" at home. Of course, he never does it for the camera, or when anyone else is around!

The other sounds he's been making lately are just plain funny. I call one of the sounds his "singing"--it's hard to describe. The other sound is this weird, deep, wheezy inhalation that he makes; it's just goofy-sounding! Naturally, he would do the silly stuff for the camera:
