Newport Playground

Ok, so the Newport Playground is a ton of fun but OH MY COW that slide and climbing wall are so totally dangerous! The original playground that was made of cedar was torn down a few years ago and replaced with a modern style playground. I was kind of sad to see the cedar one go since Daddy and his family actually helped build it. When we got to the playground I immediately noticed the climbing wall. It's actually a really awesome climbing wall, it just goes pretty high and Roo did great with it; well enough that we didn't have to stand under him each time. Daddy said the Bug climbed it as well which is pretty crazy. And then there's that slide. It's fast and it has a big curve it in. We had to help catch Roo the first few times until he got used to it's speed. Bug went down a few times and we definitely had to catch him at the end. He's really little and goes super fast on it. We all climbed the wall and went down the slide and the boys had a blast playing there for the few days we were in Newport.

Sillines!

Roo is such a funny little guy. He was chasing Baxter around the house the other night and when he finally got tired he said 'and fall' and fell to the ground. Falling and boo boos are his big thing now. He gets very excited when someone shows him a boo boo. The other night he said 'dada need a boo boo?' Then proceeded to squeeze his cheeks as hard as possible!Roo has dropped his afternoon nap on weekends. He's actually much less grumpy without it and it frees up the entire day to do things; it's nice! However, he still gets a little tired and needs a break now and then. On this day he chose Love Bug's swing as his resting location. And as we all recall, Roo was very addicted to the swing when he was an infant.....we didn't let him stay in it for long, would hate to have to break that habit again!

Love Bug rolled from back to tummy yesterday for the first time. We're very excited for him! He is such a happy little guy and loves playing on the floor. Mommy caught him trying to go fishing for his toy the other day! He was trying so hard to catch it in his mouth!The boys birthday presents came early this year. Mommy had a coupon and we wanted to get the boys a playset. Roo loves to slide so we thought it was time to get him his very own big boy slide. So Dada spent the entire weekend putting together the playset and it looks great. The slide is so much fun, mommy can't wait for it to warm up so she can go on it more. Roo loves it and actually closes his eyes when he starts to go down. This should make for a fun filled summer! Now all we need is the sun and some warm weather!

Sliding is Fun!

Last fall we took The Roo to the park in the neighborhood to play. He was a bit hesitant and not really sure if he wanted to venture down the big slides. This past weekend we took The Roo to the berry farm and to the park in the neighborhood. Both have slides. The Roo, who is bounding with energy loved climbing up the slides, walking down the slides and going down the slides both on his bottom and of course head first. Here are a few pictures of the sliding Roo.
