Saturday night? Blog time.

April is awesome. It's spring time!

Although I could have sworn that last year it was like 12 degrees until mid-May, but whatever. The weather has been changing, and we have been enjoying it. We have gone for walks in the woods.

And checked out some babblie brooks. What used to be frozen now is flowing!

Look! Lakes!

Don't get too close though, kid.

Trepidation / Curiosity

Unless you're a dog. Then you can do whatever you want.

Cole would be like "Look up! Look right!" Because there are tons of awesome things everywhere to see when you're outdoors exploring the world.

It's so wonderful to see all the green that's popping up all over the place. I think spring is my favorite time of the year. We are very fortunate that Cole is at a place in his life now where he can walk along with us and experience all the beauty that spring exhibits. We keep thinking that if it was still winter right now, we would go crazy indoors trying to figure out ways to keep Cole and his abundant energy satisfied.

We went to a Botanical Garden at Wellesley College. It was dope.

Cole was like "WHOA."

Look! A plant that eats bugs! Yum.

There were tons of flowers that you just don't see around here. It was great.

This one made me think of Kate.

Also, as some of you may know, there has been some CRAZY rain around here. And flooding. Here's proof. This used to be a meadow at an arboretum, but now it's trees bursting out of a mirror.

It rained a little today so I took some photos of rainy things.

Speaking of nerds, because I have no willpower and am a good capitalist, I bought an iPad. I figured, you know ... it's good for Cole. Except it seems that he still prefers the iPhone.

You can't blame him though ... that thing is heavy!

Finally, we're working on Cole's independence. No, he's not moving into an apartment in Allston. He's learning to put his spoon in his MOUTH instead of on the floor. PLUS, he's learning to do so while there's food on the spoon. In other words, he's learning to feed himself. Cool, right? We think so. And Cole seems to think it's pretty sweet too.

I LOVE that pointing finger. The best. Liam has too many words now, and the finger as all-purpose communication device is now defunct. Too bad. Looking forward to Reid's use of the mighty finger.
