FIGURING THINGS OUT


Gus is very curious these days. He likes to test things out.



Usually he tests things out by chewing on them, but recently he's branching out.



Now he likes to see how two things work together. He also likes to throw things to see if they will break.


Sometimes he puts something on the floor and stomps on it, just to see what will happen.


He had a lot of fun playing with this flashlight yesterday, seeing what would happen when he did different things with it. I love that he's so curious, it's adorable (when it isn't destructive).

STORYTIME


August has storytime before bed every night. Lately he even chooses the books we read. There are usually a few we've picked up at the library, and then several of his favorites. Sometimes we read all of them.


Some of Gus's favorites:

This Little Chick by John Lawrence (I think this is his most favorite)
Brown Bear Brown Bear, What Do You See by Eric Carle
Freight Train by Donald Crews
Hand, Hands, Fingers, Thumbs by Al Perkins
and he really likes the Baby Peekaboo books.

HUNGRY LI'LL GUY


A.P. has been eating like its his job! He can finish off whole pancakes in minutes -- give him some scrambled eggs and all you'll see is blur of munching and tiny fingers.

BEST BREAKFAST IN TOWN


Oh boy! We can't afford to get out to the Seward Cafe for breakfast as often as we used to - its more of a special occasion these days. Gus loved crawling around, looking at the toys and mugging for different people.


Its such a fun place for a little boy to explore. I'm excited for summertime, when he and I can walk through the Cafe's garden. For now, Laura and I were just thrilled to have some of the best hashbrowns and eggs in town, and delicious pancakes!

And Gus sat still long enough to have a blueberry cake.

AUGUST'S DOG FRIENDS


We visited Kristen & Sean and Gus got to see his dog friends, Coda and Surly. Surly sure has gotten big!


Gus tired them out!
