As the weather gets colder and windier Zach and I are having to re-think our usual schedule of outside play. The other day we dug into the toy box to see what we could find.
We pulled out the Legos again and they are a serious hit! He had tried them before many times, but now has the coordination and creativity to actually build things. Or as he calls them "Towers of Power." I'm amazed at what he can build. They tend to be pretty symmetrical and color specific. I wonder where he got that? (ME)
Very proud of his little tower.
The other big hit was the camera. It's Cal's old digital camera that we've given to him to play with. He was so excited about it. When he pulled it out he exclaimed, "I got camera like Mommy! I take pictures!"
He really loved that we were BOTH taking pictures together.
He was pretty creative about what to take pictures of. He would crawl on the ground to get an interesting shot, then say, "NICE."
(That's the flash going off)
It occupied him for maybe an hour to an hour and a half. (!!) Which is an eternity in the toddler world. Or at least in my toddler's world.
He was happy and I was happy. That's my boy.
Now if only these activities used a little more of that energy...

Looks like Zach is becoming a "tower of power" - what skills! My favorite shot is of him on the bed, and are those night stands I see?!?
Two great ideas! And can I just say it again, I love your picture! It helps that Zach is becoming quite the handsome little guy :) I got a new camera and have been experimenting with it. It lots of fun! I can see why you love doing it so much. How are you feeling these days?
Wow, it's much easier to see that his ideosyncratic behavior is really his personality, and not just weird random baby static. Remarkable.
Oh Em, I love this! Blake and I have always talked about giving our kids old digital cameras. Kids are always so interested in photography, but parents are too worried about their cameras to let them give it a try.....Love it....we must be related....
Those would be nightstands you see Rosie. And a BED. Amazing isn't it? Maybe now we're grown ups?
Cyn I'm feeling pretty well. Not out of the woods yet, but good. What camera did you get?
"Nice!" Hahaha. You have a future photographer on your hands. And "Towers of Power"? Where did he come up with that? I love it.
