As he’s getting a bit older, Del’s really starting to show an interest in books (beyond simply chewing on them, which he was a fan of since the beginning). He sat down with his Oma this weekend to look through a few books. Not sure why he’s using a hairbrush to turn the pages, but he’s getting the hang of it…
I had a hunch this would make a good “instant photo collage” – pics of Del from his grandparents’ refrigerator door. He’s still competing with a few Thurman the Dog pics and other assorted family members, but he’s slowly squeezing everyone else out!
In addition to the Fremont Solstice Parade, Sam’s birthday party, visiting his grandparents and eating an entire piece of ice cream cake, the highlight of Del’s weekend was definitely a visit from his amazing Aunt Becky, who came up for the weekend from Las Vegas to (belatedly) celebrate her 21st birthday.
Del definitely got a kick out of spending some great play time (and nap time!) with his aunt, and we had a blast having her visit as well. Becky, we can’t wait to see you again soon!
We’re getting caught up on things here in Seattle after a fun trip to Las Vegas last week to visit Dianne’s family and getting a few pics posted to Flickr and here on the website.
Aside from having a great time catching up, showing off the little guy and relaxing, Del had a chance to visit with his cousin Angelo and meet (for the first time) his cousin Bryce. Bryce was a bit shy around Del, while Del was his usual social self, smiling for everyone (and the camera). We managed to snag a few good pics of Del and Bryce together on the couch, as well as Del enjoying some of Bryce’s mountain of awesome toys!
And of course we can’t forget one of the most exciting moments of the trip; our discovery that Del is indeed a big fan of strawberry shortcake…
