19 Months & Genna and Dadda's Camping Trip

As soon as I got the camera ready you got your cheesy smile ready lol!!! Too cute
In the last week or so you have learnt 'owie' and point at where you have bumped yourself when you're upset, Quite helpful actually as usually a kiss from Mama on the owie fixes it :)
Other new words - wow so many. Raffe (for giraffe), and occasionally a please or thank you (we're working on that :),  you also think everything is the color yellow (we're starting to teach you colors). You also like to count 'one two'. And you LOVE books (as always). We have started reading more complex storybooks and you love to bop your head along to the nursery rhymes. Tonight Genna was exhausted from kindy and went to bed first. We cuddled in my bed and read books for a good half an hour and you were still asking for 'book!!' when I said no it's really time for bed now! Another new word for you is Didi (dummy/nuk). Whenever you get upset or tired you tell 'DIDI, BABA' - then we find your Baba (bunny) and your Didi and then you're happy :)
He LOVES his water table - good excuse to splash :)


SO happy to be reading bedtime books with Dadda



one of our local parks that we love

and i noticed the equipment was made in MN! wow!

CHOO CHOO!

He was VERY excited to spot this ride at the mall

Passed out cold when it was time to get up from his nap so we could go pick up Genna - so sweet :)
He thinks it's hilarious to put the Mr. Potato head glasses on himself :)


Max's favorite 'boat' to ride in. He sits in it and says 'Mama - Row Row!'


I'm playing with my bike!

Cheesy smile!




Genna has a 'journal' they bring home each night. They can write or draw in it if they want to. She chose to draw a 'playground with a few slides'. Lovely I think - and very creative :)
On Wednesday we like to go the library. I was trying to get a good picture of his flag t-shirt while he ran around :)



He has decided this week if we're sitting in a big chair he wants to as well!!

Reading her school 'reader' book to Max before bed 


He LOVES it!
Genna said this page in her read reminded her of Dadda reading books lol :) Her night time books make him sleepy! But it's her job now to read us her reader from school (new one each day) and then we read her 2 other books!
The weekend after the first week of school, Genna had a very exciting trip camping with Dadda! They went with a friend of Dadda's from work who has the same truck and 2 little boys.


First 4 wheel driving with 'the fox' too !!



Genna LOVED the muddy splashing!

Made it out the other side!!

Lunch break time :)




A wild echidna!! how exciting!





And some wild kangaroos - wow!!



Hmmm what are they getting up to?
A bit NSFW (not safe for work) but lol at Genna's commentary!

She was thrilled to have other kids along



Teaching them a bit of the Sound of Music :)
