From the Mouths of (Our) Babes

Check out how well they get him around the playground! Aren't they too cute????

It was a bit of a dreary day today, so we took a drive up to Welfleet and Truro to visit beaches. The waves were quite high, and the wind was blowing. Avery seemed content (in fact, thrilled) to just run around in the parking lots. He made friends with the guards, who were hanging out in the lot as well. They blew their whistles whenever he picked up rocks to eat, a little help teaching Avery that rocks are not for eating. He did so much running around (he's actually getting faster) that on the way home, he drank two little bottles of carrot juice! Now he is just waking up from a long afternoon nap.

Avery spent time at the playground this weekend with friends and family. He's easily entertained as long as he's outside, so this weather is definitely welcome for many reasons. Avery seems to be partial to the swings, and his nan noticed he "showed no fear", even when swung quite hard by his dad. He also showed some interest when sitting atop the turtle/globe(not sure which one)-like sculpture, though the verdict is still out on that one.
