Getting revved up

I think the best way to start this post would be with some recent videos of our Little Dude learning how to get around in the world. Or at least how to get around his bedroom.



About time we busted out the pool.



And the big sprinkler ball, which was a big hit.

The girls chilling in the pool on a hot May afternoon.

Mr. Merrit sits close by, content to play with his toys.

Hanging from the high rings. Gymnast in training.

We also spent plenty of time lounging on the picnic blanket.

Another Saturday, another trip to the Durham Museum of Life and Science. Get off that dinosaur Little Dude!

One drumstick or two? Or three?

Let me out of this thing. I want to climb more dinosaurs.

The family takes a short rest before going to see the wolves and bears.

Perfecting his flying pose.

We spend most of our time downstairs, but yesterday we really spent a large portion of the afternoon playing upstairs. Definitely something we'll have to do more often. 

We stack the cups. Mr Merrit knocks them over.

SugarBear getting started on her weight training.

Nothing wrong with wearing clothes that are over a year old, right? Or with wearing those crazy Hello Kitty socks with shoes.

Look at that face. The focus The determination. She really wanted to do it herself (big surprise). I managed to convince her that having a spotter wasn't a bad idea.
