Now that David is a year old, he's really starting to experience life. Here we see him at his first trip to the zoo. The big kids were so excited to take him around to see all the animals!
On the first hot day, we ran out and bought a few new kiddie pools (and a new slip-n-slide for the big kids) We created a virtual inflatable water park right in the front yard.
We tossed D into the little pool with a pile of toys, where he played happily for an hour and then went in for a good nap. Besides the bathtub, this was his first time swimming. Once he got over the weirdness of taking a bath outside, he loved it. My poor pale-skinned blond baby has to go swimming in a shirt, hat, and under a big umbrella.
We also took him to the "big" outdoor pool a few times. This was also a hit. I don't have pictures, but we also took him to the indoor pool for the first time recently (no pics because it is, as you can imagine, rather difficult to manage six young children through the locker rooms and supervise their swimming without also trying to photograph the experience.) David kept trying to swat my hands off so I'd let him go, not realizing that since he can neither swim nor walk, he wouldn't fare too well without me.
Here's D kickin it next to his first camp fire. The kids cooked him hot dogs and campfire pies.
He doesn't like grass touching his legs, so he sat happily in his booster seat and ate up his hot dogs.
