So what has Shane been up to to? Well, he has been loving the spring weather and the park! I was wondering what I was going to do with all of my free time now that my job was done - Shane gave me that answer - I will be at the park pushing my little man in the swing! He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES the swing! Check out his smiling face and video of his first swing ride since the fall when we had to shove blankets behind him to prop him up! The sound of his giggle makes me the happiest woman alive!
Once I pry him off the swing (No joke - he gets hysterical when you try and take him off - even if you have been pushing him for 30 minutes straight!) He also likes the slide. He prefers the small slide he can go down by himself, but I also slide down with him. Here is Mr. handsome posing at the bottom of the slide! Notice his Yankees cap courtesy of my new friend Jules in New York! She also sent him a jacket, onesie & baseball! If Dan could squeeze into them he would wear them!
When Dan gets home from work, Shane can't wait to play with his Daddy! We promised Shane a trip to the park, but Dan decided to lay down on the couch first. Shane woke Daddy right up! Nothing keeps Shane from the swings!
They really are best buddies!
Besides playing at the park, Shane loves playing with the train his girlfriend Emily sent him for his birthday! He takes that train everywhere!
Having nice weather has brought some wardrobe issues. Shane's winter clothes are all size 12 months and they still fit, though they are getting snug. 18 month pants are huge - so are the tops, but baggy tops work better than baggy & long pants. All of Shane's summer clothes are 18 months with the exception of a few t-shirts and shorts in 12-18 months which is why you see Shane in the same clothes in so many of these pictures! Shorts are also tough on his knees since he does so much crawling still. He can cruise and walk with his walking toys, but no actual steps yet - soon! Here are some pictures in one of my favorite 12-18 month outfits!
Passover was great this year! My cousin Andrea has it and the Sedar is so nice! The food was delicious and the company was wonderful. Unfortunately we forgot our camera. I stole a few pictures off Andrea's Facebook page, but sure wish I had my camera! Shane had a great time & loved meeting their dog, Boomer! Andrea's son, Alex, just turned 21! I can't even believe it because I babysat him when he was Shane's age! Her other son Eric was taking the pictures so he isn't in any! Eric is a champion chess player & an awesome tennis player! We can't wait to watch him play!
Easter was at our house so there was no forgetting the camera. Shane loved his Easter baskets! He got one from us, his Aunt Geri & Uncle John, & from Colleen & Bill. My parents and Dan's parents had singing animals for him that he LOVES!!!! Shane is so spoiled! Here is a picture of him with the maracas we gave him and the blue bunny from my parents and the Donald Duck from Dan's parents!
After our dinner, it was time for Shane to try chocolate for the first time! Sure he has had chocolate cake, but never actual chocolate! We got him a hollow chocolate bunny and he loved it!!! There is also a short video.
This one cracks me up - it is Shane at the end of the bunny - YES, HE ATE THE WHOLE BUNNY! I went to take his picture and he put up his hand to block me. It was as if he was saying, "Please, no pictures. I don't want this to end up on my Facebook page one day!"
After dessert it was time for the egg hunt! Dan and I hid eggs for Liam and placed large eggs for Shane in the center of the yard. Shane's eggs were stuffed with freeze dried yogurt snacks and baby puffs - Liam's eggs had the good stuff in them! Here is Liam hunting for his eggs!
And look at the joy in Shane's face when he found his!
Other than all of this - we have just been having fun! Shane and I met Connor 7 Kristine at the zoo over the weekend and now Shane is TERRIFIED of penguins, but that is another post... I also forgot my camera that day, so there are no pictures. Anyway, Shane is doing great and wanted to make sure that I wished his Great Aunt Joan a super speedy recovery! We all love her so much!!!
