OFF TO INDIANA

13 months, 21 days

Peter and I flew to Indiana today to spend 2 WEEKS with my family.  Erik is coming later in the week, but we were really lucky today because Jordan was on our same flight.  I was terrified Peter would do awful, but he did pretty good!  Squirmy as all get out, but didn't cry much and held it together.

He even made a little friend at the airport in Oakland.  It was such a funny coincidence...they were also traveling to Bloomington!

Checking out the baggage claim at the Indy airport:

PARTY TIME

13 months, 20 days

We went to a really fun holiday party this evening.  There were like, a million kids there.  Peter was in heaven seeing all of them and playing in the toy room.  It was so cute...they had all the children pick a manger scene character to dress up as and they read the scriptures as the kids tried to act it out.  It was so sweet.  Peter was going to be a shepard, but he wouldn't keep is costume on :)

THE GREEN BALLOON

In the kitchen, with a balloon....

STUCK

13 months, 18 days

Like I mentioned earlier, Peter has been constantly crawling into his pushcart and getting stuck inside, then crying until and pull him out, and then repeating this over and over again ALL DAY.

Here is a video of what happens....it's kinda sad to see him so frusterated, but I promise he is ok :)

PAINTING

13 months, 17 days

A new favorite activity...painting with Dad :)

VIDEO

13 months, 16 days

Peter has really been enjoying the Raffi Christmas Album (one I really loved as a kid too!)  I tried to catch him dancing to it today, but of course, he stopped as soon as I got the camera out :)  Still, a pretty cute video:

LITTLE PROFILE

13 months, 15 days

I love his profile.

FACES

13 months, 14 days

Oh, the many changing faces of Peter March....

(Also, his new favorite thing is climbing up inside of his push cart...he gets stuck quite often :)

NATHAN

13 months, 13 days

We finally made it over to Kelly's to see Baby Nathan. Peter wasn't too interested :) Too much sleeping, not enough action, I suppose!

FRIENDS

13 months, 12 days

Erik had a pop-up shop today in SF.  Peter and I, along with my friend, Abby, and her two kids went in to check it out.  Peter had so much fun with the company of two other boys.  It was so cute to see them all in one row in their carseats on the drive in.

CLIMBING

13 months, 11 days

Peter climbed up on his rocking horse to get a better look at the cat outside.  Be careful, Peter!!

SMILING

13 months, 10 days

Peter was going CRAZY for this little girl he saw at lunch today.  She was really paying attention to him from across the room, and he was LOVING it.  This boy likes cute girls.

CUP

13 months, 9 days

Drinking from a Big Boy Cup!

IN THE REDWOODS

13 months, 8 days

We had a nice day.... hanging out under the redwoods near the river...walking on the beach, looking out onto the Pacific Ocean.  I hope Peter enjoyed himself and had some sense of the beauty that surrounded us today.

BIG SUR

13 months, 7 days

Erik met a couple who owns a campground down in Big Sur.  They invited us to stay (for free!) in one of their cabins, so Erik took an extra day off work and we drove down today.  Peter did great in the car and was a total angel....looking at his books and smiling every single time we looked back at him.  It was a beautiful drive down, but I didn't get many pictures.  The cabin was SUPER nice, though Peter seemed a little scared when we first walked inside!  He calmed down quickly though, and really enjoyed the evening playing with toys and exploring.  ALSO, he slept GREAT.  SUCH a relief since we have a big trip planned to Indiana in a couple weeks.

BABYSAT

13 months, 6 days

Erik and I went to a performance of A Christmas Carol tonight in SF.  We have gone every year (except last year since Peter wasn't even two months old), and it is a tradition we so look forward to.  We had a great time and Peter had a great time being babysat by Jordan and Danielle.

Us, outside the theater:

Peter, having a fun time, but looking a little tired since it was past his bedtime:

WAVING
