Enjoying the Nice Weather

Golden Hour

We took these in the field behind our house this afternoon during the "golden hour."  This warm, golden, hazy look isn't for everyone, but it's my favorite! 

West fell (ok, more like he dove headfirst) off my lap when we were sitting in the chair last Monday and scraped his nose on his nightstand.  It didn't bleed at all then, but it looked terrible all week and is finally starting to look better now.

Lunch with Dad

Last week we took advantage of the beautiful weather and had lunch with Brad at the park by his work.  

He knows how to open the straw on his cup all by himself now.  :)

No clue what they're looking at here, but it must have been fascinating.  Probably another stick West wanted.  :)

 I think the highlight of the trip for West was a couple walked by with their dog and West got to pet him.  He LOVES dogs right now!!  I think we can consider that he "says" the word, too, which is exciting.  Any time he sees a dog in a book, on TV, or outside, he says "dah."  Sounds a lot like "da" for "Da Da," but he consistently says it when he sees dogs, and it's a little more of an "o" sound than when he's saying "Da Da," so I think we may count it.  ;)
