Outside!

Everett loves to go outside. He will bring us his shoes and/or jacket and point to the sliding glass door and say a gibberish request to go out. It has been nice enough the last few weeks that he has played in "our yard" almost every day. Yesterday I was all set to head to the park with him, when it started hailing. It was a confused first day of spring.

                     For the first week he stayed around the porch.     

 

Then one day I led him to the stretch of trees. 

And then we went on a walk all along one edge of our apartment complex, about the length of a football field, and he has never looked back. Now, almost every time I open the door, he runs off down the strip of lawn, laughing.

And for when he's indoors, he got himself a walking stick so he can pretend he's outside.

 It turns out, Everett is actually a turtle.                                                                                                        Look ma, no hands!

 

 Wearing a tractor shirt, on a tractor, drinking milk = one proud momma.              He loves all dairy products, even sour cream from the tub. 

                                                                                                                                  (I keep forgetting he can reach the kitchen counter now :) )

 

This last video is from about a month ago but I haven't put it up yet so here you go.
