Just another day in sunny California...

Sean Patrick has been playing outside everyday since he got his little house from the Easter bunny. He loves to open and close the door, over and over and over and...

Here's Sean Patrick letting me know that there's an airplane...

Sharing...with the dog

Teamwork

Because of the Station Fire, we saw Uncle, Auntie and Dylan for an overnight visit. We brought some of SP's toys and the cousins exhibited some great teamwork in playing with it. Dylan would turn the knobs to open up the little doors and SP would close the doors. They did this for a while, it entertained them greatly!

On the way home, SP was out like a light while Pekona stayed alert in the front seat:

Sean Patrick and his dog

Sean Patrick loves interacting with the dog and the cats. He particularly likes the dog because the dog will actually pay attendtion when SP calls out to him with a resounding, "Ah!" - as opposed to the cats that just walk away faster.

So here are a series of pics and a video of SP getting excited over the dog and calling him over. You'll notice that the dog is cautious, this is because SP hasn't learned the fine art of petting nicely, he favors grabbing a handful of hair and pulling...we're working on it :)

Such an angel...


Oh so cute...


Oh, hey, I see the dog..."Ah!"


It worked! Now what do I do?!

Sweet Potato

Sean Patrick tried sweet potato for the first time this morning with poor results - after a few initial happy bites, he was not impressed. I ended up scrapping the meal in less than 5 minutes because he was so fussy.

Here's the video of his first few bites where he seems quite content:

It was downhill from here :)

Preparation-wise, it was exactly like the butternut squash so I didn't take photos. However, the next time I make sweet potatoes, I'm going to bake them instead of steam them because they were a little blah in terms of taste with the steaming. I also found it more difficult to puree so next time, instead of the food processer, I'm going to use our hand blender.

Prior to the feeding, SP and Daddy played together:

SP loves to pet Pekona:

Screaming is FUN!

Sean Patrick found his voice a while ago and has loved to listen to himself scream. His screams are high pitched and crack us up.

Here's a good example of the screaming while playing in his Excersaucer:

Here's another take, I tried to get the screaming for a little while longer plus I realized that I left the sound up on the TV on my first take however SP got distracted by the dog. His reaction to Pekona is so cute!
