PPK-nursery 'music' class 2-20-2008

Last Wednesday I was invited to attend the music class at PPK in the baby room. I wasn't sure what to expect. This lady came to the baby room with her guitar bringing along a container of various bells and animal-shaped clappers, etc. She would sing along with her guitar. I was amazed how the babies did seem to like the instruments and music even if they mostly just wanted to taste and touch the instrument of bells, etc. The babies did just sit there and watched her. After awhile David and his friend, Jack, found her larger container with extra baskets in it and proceeded to empty her container!! This lady said she washes each toy after each class. The class lasted about 20-30 minutes. A young teen then came into the baby room and she gives the babies their snacks. David and Jack followed her immediately as soon as they saw her!!

Is this our future NBA player??!! from 2-16-2008

I'm not sure how this post will turn out! These were taken while in Lacrosse. He was one busy boy. He appeared to know what to do with the ball once Doug had the basket near him--putting the ball into the basket, taking it out, and putting it into the basket again. We were amazed as he
is just 11months + 1 week old!

These motor sounds are made with his tongue between his lips. What a character!

Fun at the motel pool in Lacrosse...2-16-2008

David likes the water. The lights in the pool area were very green so the coloring isn't great on these photos but David had fun. The water was a little cool also so he didn't get to be in the pool very long. There were 2 young boys in the pool who he liked to watch as they played and splashed. We adults enjoyed watching David!

Hi! I'm going swimming!

Can't I just walk into that water!

Catch me, Auntie Kari!

It's colder than I thought!

Grandma warmed me up!

Should I go back in?!

I had fun!

After a hot bath I warmed up and then I was so thirsty!

Visiting Kari in Lacrosse..2-16-2008

This is the area of GrandDad's bluff in Lacrosse. See the American flag on the top point? We drove up to this area to look over the Lacrosse valley.

Before our drive there we stopped to pick up Kari from her apartment. David was entertained.

He seemed to know what to do with the computer mouse...only thing it's Auntie Kari's computer!! (Sorry but the video positioned itself at the bottom of this post)

The Olson family in front of the building at Granddad's bluff.

Way in the distance you could see Iowa.

Sunset overlooking Lacrosse.

The larger buildings in front of the sun are the 2 hospitals not too far apart.

Kari's hospital is the one closer to us.

Do they look cold?

Sisters..

the family...

David and Julie.

It was so COLD outside with a slight breeze. My fingers felt frozen as I wasn't dressed warm enough, especially after taking so many photos!! In the next blog the evening events continued.

that next video of 2-14-2008

The motor sounds...!

Tomorrow we are going to Lacrosse to spend the weekend with Kari

along with Julie, David, and David D. Should be a fun time as a family.

Am sure you will see some photos!!

Valentine's day, 2008--David @ 11months

A week ago Wednesday David seemed to enjoy the "kitchen" toys better than all the others. Refer to Auntie Kari's blog to see the haircut experience as we have all commented about his long hair!

Kari and David "putting together" a puzzle. Look at all that hair!
Tonight David's Mommy was trying to have him eat some noodles while at a restaurant.

He did a great job eating them. It isn't easy to pick up such small noodles!

Afterwards Grandpa was holding the bottle for him until David took over

but see how he is resting his arm on the table. Is it such hard work??!!!

Some videos to enjoy!

Another video will come maybe tomorrow as there was some error in loading...
