just another day at the park...





how nice would that be if that were really our life?! Unfortunately, we live in Oregon so those sunny days in March are few and far between! We took advantage of the weather and went for a family walk to the park. Jalen was content in the swing for over 30 minutes just watching Daddy and the girls play basketball. He LOVES being outside...so much that he cries when we walk back in the house. It has become our solution to all sadness...no matter what he may be crying about, walk outside and nothing else matters anymore. His favorite is watching the girls jump on the trampoline, he kicks his legs and flaps his arms in excitement! He has just learned how to wave hi and bye, but it is more of a salute than a wave ( I think he learned from his Papa Bill...and true Marine!). He holds his arm up with his hand stiff and still...and will wave to anyone anywhere. On March 4th he pulled himself up to standing position all by himself and then looked around to see if we were looking before bouncing in excitement. And today, March 7th, he officially crawled. Not just scooting anymore, but arms and knees crawl. It is so fun to watch...but watch out cause now he is into EVERYTHING!!!
