19 days and counting

Alistair is quickly closing in on being 1 year old! Where does the time go? He is growing up so quick...turning into a little boy! Sniff! (: Yesterday we took a field trip with Ranae and Sully to Snohomish. This is Ranae's last week of freedom before she returns to the daily grind. Alistair and I are going to miss having outing buddies! Snohomish is such a cute little town with lots of fun shops as well as lots of Antique Stores - if you are into antique-ing. We went up there to check out the town as well as go to the Farmer's Market they have on Thursdays. Well it is a good thing that the town had so much to offer because the FM didn't and would have been a huge disappoinment had we driven there for just that! (: On our way out there were some people sky diving and it made me want to go again, the day was just like the day Carolyn and I went sky diving 4 years ago (except maybe a little cooler). The boys were very good yesterday, hanging out in their stollers. They both napped about the same time and generally charmed the people around us when they were awake! Ranae and I had to take turns going into some store as they were not necessarily stroller friendly. So I snapped some photos of the boys while Ranae shopped. Here you can tell Alistair is ready for a nap as he is unamused at my attempts to play peek-a-boo. Sully was more game for being entertained (as seen below).

After our day, the Sandholms stayed for dinner and then took off shortly after to get Sully home to bed. We gave Alistair a bath as he had been slathered in Sunblock and then covered in food from dinner. Alistair has gotten to the point now where he really likes his baths and if you make any move with him that may seem like you might be taking him out, he gets REALLY mad. Screams, kicks his legs, wails his fists...it's actually kind of funny to watch. He loves his duck bath now that he can sit up in it better. Also, since he has been taking swimming, he enjoys playing in the water more. He splashes like crazy and sends water EVERYWHERE!!
