Here are a couple pictures from my weekend at my parents’ place:

All the girls ready to go out for the night. Note to self: hang out with people closer to my size so I don't look so huge.

Grandma gave James a pickle. He liked it!

This weekend Ryan’s parents & sister came up. We all went to the zoo today, and it was a lot of fun.

My future's so bright, I gotta wear shades. (He tried to eat them shortly after this photo was taken, so we aren't applying to Harvard just yet)

Polar bear. Duh.

What you can't see is that he is reaching for the camera. He would like to eat it. Along with everything else he can get his hands on.

Helping Auntie feed the goats (not really; he's just pretending).

We tried to tell him it was rude to chew on the giraffe's face while we were at the zoo, but he didn't care.

Another development this weekend: we now have (1 or 2) consonants. We’ve for sure heard the “d” sound. I never realized how excited I would get about someone making consonant sounds. It’s kind of ridiculous. But awesome.

Hope you all had a great weekend. It finally cooled off a little here (the high today was in the low 70s). I’m loving it.
