Please Touch Museum

Daniel hadn't been to the Please Touch in a couple of months and Poppop had the day off from teaching so we jumped in the car and took Noah for his first ever visit to one of Daniel's favorite spots. We all had a great time exploring the museum.

PS- Notice that in the supermarket Daniel's cart is piled high with his favorite things. He picked peanut butter, macaroni and cheese and water ice!

Sandcastles

Zehda is well known for his amazing sandcastles but Daniel and I have never had the opportunity to see him at work before. Well we found out that he was going to be building a castle outside Cal Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen Maryland before a baseball game. We jumped in the car and headed down to check out the action. Daniel had a great time playing at the bottom of the pile and he did a pretty good job climbing up the sand!

Phillies

Just like his parents Daniel has developed a love of all Philadelphia sports. When the Phillies suddenly had a home series against Toronto we snapped up some tickets. Mommom and Poppop came with us and we had a great time (and saw a Phillies win!)

Daniel's backyard paradise

Summer is here! This summer we fenced in our yard and cleaned up the underbrush and now Daniel has a great spot to play. So on nice days we can fill up the pool, bring out the slide and bouncy house and get some fresh air (and turn off the TV!) Mornings spent running around outside can make for good naps too. We like to bring a picnic lunch or dinner out there too and eat while we play!

Memorial Day Weekend

Busy weekend here. We headed down the shore Friday afternoon. Saturday was cool and not very sunny so we spent time riding bikes on the sidewalk with Uncle Jason, visiting with some friends on the porch and then the highlight of the day, a trip to the rides in Ocean City. Daniel really enjoyed the rides as did his Daddy. The evening was topped off with Daddy accepting a bet from Poppop to go on a ride called the slingshot! Yikes.






Sunday the weather was gorgeous. We played in the backyard in the morning swimming in the pool and spraying the hose. After lunch we headed to the beach where Daniel kept his Poppop in the frigid ocean for much of the afternoon. After all that activity and no nap Daniel passed out on Mommy's lap with no dinner!





Monday we had to pack up and leave but first we stopped by for a ride on the golf cart with Poppop at Linwood followed by a delicious french fry lunch! Since Daddy had to work Sunday night Daniel and Mommy caught a ride back to Philly with Mommom and Poppop. Daddy picked us up and we headed out for dinner. A great weekend!

Daniel May 2010

Daniel is now 2 1/2 years old. I can't believe how time is flying. He is very much your typical 2 year old, we have tantrums, whining, picky eating etc.... but he is also such a lovable little guy. He gives me lots of hugs even when he is trying to push all of my buttons! Every day is a different adventure with him. Now that the weather has gotten so nice we are trying to get out as much as possible. Our Friday playgroup has been rotating playgrounds every week which has been great. Daniel and I went to a Camden Riversharks game which Daniel loves (he thought he was at the Phillies). We have also had playdates with various other friends as well as some fun times with Daniel's cousins. We enjoyed Suzy's first trip to the zoo last week with Aunt Francine, we have had a few trips to the zoo with Noah as well. Now that summer is arriving we are planning some beach weekends, a trip to visit Zehda in Maryland, a Phillies game and who knows what else? It is amazing to watch my baby becoming a big boy right before my eyes. He talks nonstop from morning until night (not sure where he gets that from....). He is into anything that moves, trains, buses, cars, construction vehicles....He also likes reading books, playing catch, driving around in all his cars and building towers with blocks. We are having so much fun!
