“Why am I not moving?”

Hanging around

Pretty pleased with himself, but I’m not sure why. Maybe because uncle Kevin is coming to push him.

Pretty pleased with himself

Sawyer could have let Kevin push him all day long, but Kevin was tired from walking to see the sea lions at Pier 39. Sawyer wanted to go “way up high!”

Way Up High

Luckily for uncle Kevin, Scott finally got off of work. Sawyer just beams when he sees him come up the street. “Dada!”

Dada!!!

Thanks to an unbelievably warm and sunny Saturday afternoon, and a finally-feeling-better Sawyer, he and I hopped on the bus to go to Alta Plaza Park for some fun in the sun. The last time we went there, I captured one of my favorite videos of him climbing the steps to the park. He ran right up them again, without any hesitation whatsoever.

He knew exactly what to do when he got to the park too:

Up and down the slide, over and over again:

A picture can never do justice to this view:

He was a little frustrated that I couldn’t push him higher in the swing:

He’ll have to graduate to the big boy swings if he really wants to fly, but I’m in no rush to show him how those work.

As many of you know, my birthday was just a few days ago. My mom and dad were discussing the fact that it didn’t seem that 35 years had passed since I was born. To them, I should be about 20 — sounds good to me. I’m sure Penny and Steve feel the same way…plus one year.

Before Scott was a Daddy, he was a baby, …

Tickle.

Uh, oh! He's coming for me now.

Thanks to my friend Katherine, who shared a book that she created for her husband and daughter to enjoy. It is titled, “Before Daddy was Daddy”! Such a creative idea!

Lime agua frescas from the mexican restaurant by Scott’s office are tasty.
