His favorite place in the house

Now that Van has figured out to stand up in the living room window, it is his favorite place to hang out. He gets to practice his newest skill, watch me in the kitchen and see the wonderful world outside at the same time. He especially loves when the dog is out back, when daddy is mowing the lawn or when the wind is blowing very hard! At night he can see the reflection of a baby in the window looking back at him- and he loves that too!

This is one happy kid

I left Van with Tyler for a few hours while Ty was washing his motorcycle. He brought out the jumper for Van to play in. Now here's the important part- Van's favorite things are being in his jumper, seeing motorcycles, and being outside. This boy couldn't be happier, he never even realized how tired he was and he fell asleep before he ever thought to cry.

Of all the fancy baby toys...

his favorite thing to play with is the basket we keep his toys in... go figure!

I can't believe how smart Van is & how quickly he can learn new things! I always set him in the living room while I am in the kitchen & he always tries to get to me. Yesterday, the jumper was blocking the way... so he just went under!

He Sits!

This busy guy has a hard time finding a spare minute to sit still. I've been trying to get him to practice, but it's been a fight! This week he's finally got it down... but look how hard he has to try- his toes are all scrunched up to keep him sitting!
