Week Off!

Cameron had last week off and we did lots of things. We decided to travel around the surrounding areas of Portland and explore. Since moving here we have been to a lot of places and have see much, but there were still places on our list. Last week to got a few of check marks added to the list.

We went to the Bradbury State Park.

 

Check out that view!

We went to Willard Beach.

Kelton is looking at his Mama.

The sound of the crushing waves was so pleasant.

We had Kelton's first birthday party!

 

First cupcake.

Happy Birthday, Kelton!

And Kelton did some awesome things of his own.
He crawled into a box

He enjoyed a book with Daddy

 

Put his blanket over his head. He does this all the time. And not always with just a blanket. He loves to put his clothes or soft toys behind or on top of his head .

He was just cute.

Put a toe hole in his sleeper

Started to grow some serious hair

And, most importantly, overcame his fear of the grass! ...Oh and he also turned one.
Kelton also loves to dance. Whenever he hears music he starts shaking his head and bottom too. He talks a lot. His most common "phrases" are: "da, da, da", "ssss, ssss," "ah, ah, ah", "bda, bda", "nan, nan, nan", "hee, hee, hee,", "ma, ma, ma", "aza pt". His physical development has been highlighted by him becoming an advanced chair-walker. He has also learned to climb up on the couch by putting his leg over. At first he would wait for us to be next to it so that he could then step up on our feet to get on the couch. But now he doesn't need us anymore because he has figured out how to thrust his legs up. He is also learning how to get off of the couch. He puts his arms out and lets the carpet catch him. It is amazing how he is just so interested in things and doesn't let any fear stop him in learning.
