Ups and Downs

Little guy is not a fan of shoes. He never leaves his socks on for more than a few hours. I think I have found something to convince him to wear his socks and shoes.

Outside

Of course he loves it. Of course it is almost winter and he will have very few days to play outside until spring.

Of course.

Until then...... He is enjoying it. It is kinda tricky walking around in the back yard. There are bumps and dips all over the yard. Wearing shoes makes it harder to keep your balance too. It doesn't seem to bother him no matter how many times he falls. He just gets back up.

Here are some of the ups and downs in order that they were taken.

AND kinda like the last post there a few pictures. Not all I took of course. Geesh! Like I would do that to you!

Up (I think that is a diaper check by Shy)

Whoooaaa!

Leaf pick up has not happened at my house this year. The hubby has not recovered from his surgery and I am simply not organized enough to get this chore even added to the list. I have kept up with all of the laundry. Does that count? Besides I think all the fallen leaves add a nice touch to the pictures. Alex likes them. Except when he falls down and they stick to his hand. Then not so much.

If you can't tell.....

I like to watch my grandson play. Sometimes he is busy enough that he doesn't notice or doesn't care and I can take pictures. Recently he is more interested in my camera than in playing. It is hard to take a "cute" picture when he is standing this close and trying to grab the camera.

It had been awhile since I left the laundry basket out for him to play with. He was all over it like a new toy. (I need to describe him with a new toy sometime. It is too funny!)

This is him playing with the laundry basket from 1442 hours to 1458 hours. That is just 16 min of play. This is NOT all of the pictures I took in that 16 min. Also, I used a special effects setting on my camera called night vision. Even with the morning light it is hard to get a picture of him that isn't blurred. Constant motion. Even some of the night vision shots are blurred. Sit back.... There are a few pictures to review.

First it must be tasted.

(Yep still teething. Cut his 9th and 10th ones this weekend.)
