Today’s weather was fantastic so we decided to make the most of it by heading to the ballpark!
We took david to a game last year, but he was just a little too young to begin enjoying it. Today, however, he had a BLAST. He was cheering the players on and happily watched 6+ innings before it was time for us to leave. To top it off he got to meet Speedy 
Today is Ana’s birthday, so David and I spent some quality time in the kitchen getting this cake made. It turned out well, and David’s choice of toppings is quite the addition!
Happy Birthday Ana, We Love You!
I’m doing a little photo and video editing as the weekend winds down and thought I’d post these for all 2 of you that follow this blog. Here’s David during his two games of bowling, in which he scored a combined 46! He gets emphatic about doing it himself, so those are 100% his.
And to wrap up the weekend, he took a few swings off of the tee.
Notice the goggles – apparently he forgot to take them off after his work in the lab.

This morning we were at Lowes and ran into the bi-monthly kids’ workshop in progress. They were putting together a smal tic-tac-toe toy and David was instantly hooked. Since they were wrapping up, we bought the smallest hammer we could find for him and took one of the kits home with us.
Later in the day after his nap, we got to work in the basement.
Here’s to David’s first building project! More photos in the gallery.
This weekend I built the second step stool for David, this one for an upstairs bathroom.
I also got both sanded, primed, and covered in a coat or two of paint. One red, one white. The white was so we could turn David loose on it to make it his own. With Mom’s help, 30 minutes, and a few tubes of paint, he deemed it complete. There is no mistaking it, it’s his!
As always, Mr. Serious:
Here’s our work, side-by-side. I’m happy with how they turned out and they should last beyond their need.
So that’s what we did this afternoon; it was fun and provided a nice little diversion on this cold, cold January Sunday. If you’d like to see a few more photos of David’s artistic process, they’re in the photo gallery.
Here it is New Year’s Eve and David has come down with something. He’s just spending the day taking in medicine and an Imagination Movers marathon from the couch.
A far cry from the active little guy that was two days ago.
David spent this Christmas Eve morning helping Mom make Santa’s cookies, and after a quick nap he’ll get to decorate them too.
He is pretty excited, even if he isn’t quite sure why. On more than one occasion he has run up to me saying “It’s Christmas!”
This is going to be fun
Update: decorating has begun!
2 years ago today, Ana and I were sitting in a hospital room with our brand new son, David.
That photo is the result of asking him to smile big for me tonight. Just wonderful, the little ham.
Happy Birthday, David. You sure make it fun!
