Birthday Presents are Fun

Scott playing with his new toys...

Play Doh (with Patrioic background music)

Legos (notice Blaise is taking steps with help now!)

Sponge Pills in Bowl of Water (with friend Tyler)

Puzzles (with Grandma)

He's really come into his own with this pretending thing. He pretends to eat food, pretends to feed the Little People horse, sets up the Little People farmer at the air traffic control board, stirs imaginary batter in a bowl he's constantly taking out of the cabinet, etc. I wasn't expecting this skill for at least another 6 months.

Happy Birthday Scott!

Scott is 2!

Big Boy Blaise

Standing and climbing... yes, he did pull himself up on the box of blocks without any help. Like I would have put him in that position anyway! It looks so uncomfortable.

Walking practice. Hm, maybe it was laundry day?

And, ever the favorite... Jumpy Jump. Looks kind of dangerous, I'm afraid he's about to be too big for it.

Laughter

These videos are best with the volume turned on... they are really just so you can listen to Scott laugh.

Playing with a blanket and laughing together.

Scott playing catch with Daddy and laughing hysterically about it.

Hear... such sweet sounds I get to listen to all the time!

Do you have any idea how long it took to upload this?

But video just captures it better than pictures, and I wanted to share...

The lighting is bad... but here they are clapping together.

And yes, after the music lesson, they have a little fight. But Scott did say Sorry and give Blaise a hug. Which is the cutest thing, but I'll probably never catch that on video, because I have to hold Blaise otherwise Scott would probably pick him up and drop him and accidentally hurt him more.

A new favorite toy... they both love to play with this bopper bag and Blaise seems to enjoy it when Scott tries to balance it on his head. Not that we promote that behavior. Don't worry, soon we'll blink and Blaise will be running all over the place- and Scott can't wait for that day.

Walking the Dog

Scott is too cute! This one is pretty self explanatory.

Blaise Has Skills

There... we caught him clapping on camera.

And now Table Football. Blaise has figured out how to let go of things on purpose, so he's really into say, picking up Cheerios and putting them places. Mostly in the cup spot on his tray, dropping them on the floor on purpose, or putting them on the edge of the table. Uncle Mike made a game of it and Cullen said it was his first game of Table Football. I think he won, since he ate the Cheerio in the end.

Jingle Bells

Lots of running Scott... and then, at the end Scott starts copying Blaise. Naturally, it got even more amusing after I turned the camera off, but that's life.

Stuck?

So, do you think he's stuck?

Nope, he did eventually crawl off the side of the box and after some other toy, or maybe after Scott, I don't remember.

If you listen carefully, you can hear Scott talking to himself in another room in addition to Blaise babbling away.

Run Run Scottie Boy

Are you laughing hysterically yet? In case it isn't obvious what's happening at the end, Scott really wants Blaise to get up and run with him. I don't think Blaise would mind, but it's a skill he hasn't mastered yet. By the way, yes, Scott is capable of actually picking Blaise up off the floor. Dangerous. Must supervise 2 year old at all times.
