What's Bloomin'

So this little one loves to be outside!   He learned to say the word "out" and stand by the door after about two nice days this spring.   He also learned to find his shoes and sit down and push them towards his feet while sitting at the door and begging to go out.    He has little baby meltdowns when not allowed outside or when forced to come in.   He also loves all the fun things that are outside.    Flowers, rocks, dirt...   he must be watched closely or many of these things will end up in his mouth!

So what's bloomin'?    Tulip or as we are calling them, "pretty's."

He's smelling them

more pretty's

crab apple... love it!

pear... such a nice shaped tree!

peach... loving all the pink.   should be a good year for peaches!

Did I mention he also hates to be carried around outside and fights like crazy to explore on his own.   He does.   He loves to walk and fall and trip all on his own.   And if he's fighting to get down he's awfully hard to hang onto!

Oh...lilac!   My favorite!  We have lots of lilacs.

Can you find the kitty hiding in this one?  
He's our cat-dog.   Always following us everywhere outside, even on long walks.  

AJ tested his cat-like reflexes moments after this picture by chucking a rock at him.    I should mention that he loves to pick up and throw rocks too.   He has a lot of strength for a little guy.    Daddy says it's because we haven't cut his hair yet... but that's a story for another day.
