Crawler

No video yet, but today Walter did his first true crawling. He has been doing the 'army crawl' for a while now, but now he's figured out the real deal with alternating knees and hands.

When Mom hands you a lemon, chew on it.

Wiggly guy.

Date night

A few weeks ago grandma and grandad stayed with Walter for an evening so Anna and Dan could go on a canoe/dinner outing.

Our contraption to walk the canoe to the lake.

Dinner at the pasta bar.

What is that object in the distance? Nessie?

Yep.

Welcome Nathaniel Robert

Walter is excited to welcome a new cousin, Nathaniel, born on Friday. He is looking forward to getting together to play.

North Shore

Some pictures from a trip to camp on the North Shore of Lake Superior at Split Rock Lighthouse state park.

Dan at almost the same vista on skis a few winters ago.

Walter riding in the ergo on Dan's back.

A nap by the lake.

Exhausted

Fell asleep walking home after splashing around in the fountain in the park.

Missing mitten

I found my missing mitten...made by dear Bronwen...now how do I get it off, better question, how did they get it on?!?

Baking with Anne Marie

Despite the heat I have been baking with baker friends, one delicious result:

Beach baby bum

Enjoying the ocean breeze.

Walter wasn't a big fan of putting his feet in at the ocean beach with waves, but he did enjoy splashing around at the 'baby beach' across the road on the river.

Rinsing off in the outdoor shower.

Fun at home

One of Walter's new favorite places to play.

Playing in the saucer.

And in the gym.

Camping Bed

Hello.

View from the tent.

Checking out the bed.

Snoozing.
