Our little David gets pretty excited when he hears the theme song for Imagination Movers, so much so that it’s just fun to sit back and watch him dance and sing to it. This morning I grabbed my cameras and caught a toned-down version. Enjoy!

I apologize for the sparsity of David photos. Here are a few from playing around on the floor tonight.

Perfect Weather for a Trip to the Zoo
We couldn’t let a 70 degree day in mid July pass us by, so we took a drive down to the St. Louis Zoo this morning. I’m still pulling in photos but I really like these two.
The one of all of us was taking by a stranger that kindly offered. It took a few moments and fumbling to remember how I needed to set the camera up for someone else to use, turned out great though!

Tickles
David was all laughs tonight before going to bed. Here are a couple shots of the tickl-er and tickl-ee
As they say.. “and fun was had by all”.

Concentration
This afternoon, David layed on our floor with a pencil and pad of paper and “drew” for over an hour. Just quietly flipping pages and drawing all over them. He even insisted on taking his tools to dinner with us where he continued to scratch his thoughts down. All-in-all, he spent about 2 hours at it.
It’s so fun to watch him problem-solve and learn things. As he was scribbling he couldn’t keep his pencil as still as he wanted, so he steadied it with his other hand as he slowly and deliberatly moved the pencil to where HE wanted. Then talk to himself and start on the next page.

Happy Birthday Ana!
Today is Ana’s 30th birthday! The day didn’t go quite as smooth as she wanted for her birthday (leaving work later than desired, having to get a raincheck for dinner out thanks to David’s head-first, running swan dive off of a couch, etc.) but it’s looking up!
Here’s Mom and son after having enjoyed the birthday cake (made by your’s truly).
The cake wasn’t a looker, but tasted pretty good. And I think you’d be hard pressed to find another one with “11110” in candles…

To the Zoo!
Given the final arrival of spring (or did we just skip to early summer?), we decided to take a day trip to the St. Louis Zoo. So after eating breakfast, we loaded up the van and headed south. Upon arrival, we were greeted by quite a bit of traffic in Forrest Park and lots of zoo-goers. Not too surprising for such a nice day, but it still felt like parking at the Arch would have been closer.
David got to get up close and personal with a few of the animals, starting off with a few monkeys. Good thing that glass was there – that monkey would have been missing a handful of hair if not.
After that encounter, he was on the lookout for animals!
We had lots of fun, and look forward to going back. In fact, we purchased a family membership – so we WILL be going back. More photos available.

Kites
I don’t know what it is, but Ana and I really enjoy flying kites. Since it was finally warm when Ana and I got off of work, we thought it would be fun to take David to the park and introduce him to a kite the Easter Bunny left for him this year.
Beautiful weather, and a good time. A few more photos in the gallery.

16 Months Old
This morning after searching our house for Easter Eggs and before going to church we decided we’d do a quick David photo shoot. It had been a while since the “monthly photos” ended, and he was all dressed up for Easter. As luck would have it, today just happens to be his 16 month birthday too.
Ran into some lighting problems (bulb burned out), so some of them are using a combination of lamp and natural lighting. Those look a little odd to me.
The rest of the collection are in the gallery (still uploading, should be done soon).
