On the go

These are not the "smiliest" pictures of Christopher we've ever been able to get, but he's at the stage where he doesn't like to hold still for long - or follow directions like "smile!" But they capture the essence of what we've been up to in the past week or so.

Christopher loves to bring a couple of stuffed animals with him when we go for walks. He likes to make sure they are safely buckled in on the other seat of the wagon.


He likes to help Dad get ready to leave for work. Christopher does the "quality control checks" and makes sure that the engine revs just right and that the horn button still works on Dad's motorcycle.


Last week we met up with Mema and cousin Austin at the zoo. We couldn't get any pictures of him in front of any of the animals, but he & Austin had a great time climbing up on things. This is a bench just inside the entrance of the zoo.


This is a huge stone frog by the jungle part of the zoo. Christopher didn't really feel like looking at the camera, but Austin was still trying to get him to smile.


Christopher loved the playground section of the zoo. This is a slide that is shaped like a huge saguaro. He enjoys slides and had to go down this one several times before he was satisfied.
