Pinball

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Silas Swings

Silas swings on his own.

Pumpkin Carving

Step 1 - Try not to cut yourself!

 

I don't know what Silas was expecting, but it wasn't this.

Ok. Gross is fun.

I think mum is having as much fun as Silas.

Initial carving is done.

Now Silas wanted to use papa's drill to make "a few extra" holes.

And a few more extra holes.

Perfect.

Toy Story

I'm finally back to blogging.  Only 5 months behind!!!!

Here is Silas dressed up for Calvary Chapel Pearl Harbor's Hallelujah Celebration (in place of Halloween).

He is Woody from Toy Story although he has never seen the movie.  He was quite fond of the outfit, except for the hat.  Hmmm, no wonder.

Fun with Oma in Oahu.

Silas couldn't understand the idea of collecting candy in a pumpkin.

Thanks Oma for explaining it to him.

The Many Faces of Silas Jair

What might Silas be when he grows up?

Fireman?

Astronaut?

Chef?

Doctor?

Construction worker?

Or maybe he'll just sing for the village people!

Jacaranda Tree

What a great tree...

Silas was trying to scoop up all the flowers.

It is quite a job!

Here is an action video.

Guitar Balance

Sometimes Silas just does something silly.

In this case, Silas was playing with my cheap guitar (he is not allowed to touch my Taylor) and accidentally made it stand on end.

We are such proud parents!

Colin Buchanan Concert.

Silas loves Colin.

Before the show, Silas was playing with the other kids.

Or no... he was actually wanting to read his book.

Once inside, he was excited.

 Here's Colin

Silas sings along

 What a fun day.

In preperation for our Hawaii trip, we made a sand croc.

It also helps for Silas to be wearing a croc T-shirt.

Mega Bloks Tower

Silas and Papa built this mighty tower.

And Silas destroyed it...

Aussie Scooter

Silas borrowed Papa's Aussie hat to go scooting.  I had to snap a few shots.

Jam Session

Get a few people playing guitar and drums and Silas loves to join in.

Blow Dry

I had to be very careful in camera angles here.

Silas loves to blow dry his own hair.

Smile.

Allergies

Silas has a life threatening allergy to peanuts and a less severe allergy to walnuts.

He was exposed to a pesto sauce that normally contains pine nuts, but this time was made with walnuts.  It was a bit of a scare.

His lips were swollen and cheeks turned very red with bumps and welts.

He told us the pizza tasted "spicy," so he knew something was different.

We spent several hours at the hospital to get him checked out.

 This time he was ok.  Praise God.

Thumbs up.

Silas Playing Music

Every few months, we have a music night at the church.

Silas loves to come along and play various instruments.

Here are a few snippets of him playing his piano.

Helping Reogranise The Bedroom

Silas decided to help Mama with his organisation skills.

It is much easier to access things when the clothes are out of the drawers.

We'll keep one drawer full of miscellaneous items.

Easy access to everything.

Mum was so gracious.

Feeding a Pelican

Back to Featherdale Wildlife Park.

Here Silas gets a chance to feed a pelican.

Swinging with Papa

This was the first time Silas really wanted to swing.

He is so good at it.

Bath Video

Silas Takin' a Bath

Train Ride to the Shops

What started out as Silas' first train ride since he was in a pram ended up in a bit of an EMERGENCY.

Thumbs up!

Now face the camera Silas.

 The EMERGENCY was due to the little orange button

behind them.  Silas just had to push it and a very rude

man demanded that we better not touch it again. Ooops

Just strolling through the shops with our hands in our pockets.
