We caught a big grasshopper in Ansel's room the other day. He was pretty excited about it.
He kept saying and signing "dog" (well he altered the sign a little and pats his chest instead of his leg) Quite a few animals are "dogs" right now. He knows duck, cow,and cat (with their correct sounds) but many other animals are dogs that make a monkey sound! He'll get it all figured out one of these days!
When we let it go... he caught it in his hand right as it started to fly away!
Ansel loves his cousin! Quick story. . . he got so excited to see her at church Sunday. We were holding him and he leaned down to give her a huge hug! While we were all "ah"ing about how cute it was, he sneakily grabbed the little bag of cookies out of her hand and popped right back up! So, he loves his cousins, but he loves cookies too!
Watching "Bob"on a trip to Springfield
It's been a month or so.... but here are pics from when we took Ansel swimming.. which he loved of course!
Yikes! not what I was intending to capture! Good thing for padded diapers!
Relaxing with Daddy afterwards in the hammock!
(for some reason he kept making that puckered lip face whenever we set him in the hammock!)
Both arms up!
In the very corner, cross legged and poking an eye!
Arm twisted upward
Snuggled with my blankie
All sprawled out! ..... Can you tell that mommy thinks I look cute when I sleep?
Ansel's new obsession...(and I do mean obsession) is Bob the Builder. We got him a little video way back at Christmas time and he's never really cared for it.. until this past month. Now he can't get enough of it. I think he says "bob" more than mom or dad. (Well, maybe not "dad"....about an hour before it's time for Cody to get home, he talks about daddy non-stop!) Anyway, he gets a glimpse of big building vehicles, or any bob merchandise, and goes on and on about "Bob!" Very cute.. but I'm learning how old some kids movies can get!!! Here's a couple of pictures of him hard at work helping daddy "build" a bookcase.
Getting down closer for a better look!
Getting very serious about it!
Crashed out after a hard day's work!
