Dinosaurs

Last Wednesday evening we headed to the zoo for a member preview of the new dinosaur exhibit. We have been reading a book about dinosaurs to Claire before bed for several months now (she loves repetition). I thought she would get a kick out of some life-size dinos. They are robotic and make noises as well. She loved seeing them and told us all their names. Her friend Sydney went with us as well.

 My weekend time was spent (finally) painting walls in our basement and cutting up trees in the yard. Lucian borrowed some power tools to do the main cutting and I would chop things up and drag them to the curb. Sounds fun, right?

In between all this work we set up the pool and had a picnic lunch under an umbrella. Claire is a water baby, she loves to splash and play. She picked out a few new toys at the store earlier that day and spent some time breaking them in.

Kyle liked our picnic too

Kyle is a strong, strong boy. He is showing some early crawling moves which really impressed us last week. While on his stomach, he will put his head down, pull his legs up and under his belly and scoot forward. He's a little inch worm. He also always has his legs locked like in the picture below. He will grab your hands, arm, blanket, etc. with this move. We think it's pretty funny.

Just a cute shot of everyone on a weekday morning last week.
