fun photos

He's a little confused on what sporting equipment goes with which sport.




His favorite thing to do is to ride the lawnmower. Good thing Pop pop loves it too.


Solomon loves his new room. He never did really play in his nursery, but now that he has a big boy room he pulls us in there to "play" at breakfast, lunch, and after work. His favorite activities are playing basket ball, stacking blocks and knocking them down, getting into his Apollo capsule, coloring, books, and he also tries to get into anything: if there is a toy car he'll stick his toe into to the door, I guess he's learning about size.

He's 17 months old and we're having the best time. He can say any word that he wants to. He says please, sorry, k (when he falls and is ok), eat, happy (my favorite), play, bak ball, apple, ollie, just to name a few of his favorites. We have to be very careful about what we say, he repeats everything.
We were impressed today when I asked him to sing his ABC's he sang, ABCDEEE. We were very excited and had him do it over and over.
The other night we went to watch Neall play basketball at the Church. When we walked in and all those boys were playing Solomon starting squealing with excitement and would holler Daddy and Yeah. He loves basketball, I just hope he is good at it someday. He will even watch it on TV. I'm going to have to get a video of him watching Neall play. I think Solomon is starting to realize that Neall is his hero. Sol likes to point to everyone and say their names, "Momma, Daddy, Ollie "ooyee", etc. Well, he was making his rounds and pointed to himself and said "Daddy" and laughed. I hope he always wants to be like Neall.
