7 Months Old

Tyler turned 7 months old on Sunday! Mom planned a fun afternoon outside (so dad could have some peace inside to study)- but nothing went as planned!! Tyler usually loves to get his hands in things, so I thought we'd start by playing with paint. He was not interested in the slightest after about 10 seconds!! He was much happier playing with grass blades, looking for where the bird chirps were coming from, and hearing the cars go by. Paint? Not cool enough! Then I'd hoped for a long time in the baby pool, but with the overcast day the water felt too cold without the sun to warm him up. He got in for about 45 seconds, and then started shivering!! And that was that!

This is not so much interest in the paint and getting dirty as fun crinkling paper!

Dad's turn to paint, as if he wasn't dirty enough already!

"Peat #1"... dad's handiwork!

Attempt to play, but really just a quick wash-off session.

Sunday evening Winston, Kristin, and Becky stopped by on their way home from Annapolis visiting Lindsey. Winston and Tyler had fun playing together, though Tyler was a bit subdued and out of it- past his bedtime! In this picture they're both reaching to see who can knock over the cups first. (I think Winston won!)

Winston wanted Tyler's rattle...

And then he wanted Tyler's passy!! Learning to share- no tears shed :)
