Castle Tent

Momma picked up this nice tent that looks like a castle for Silas.
Daddy wants to play in the tent too, but he doesn't really fit.


I think Silas likes the company.  :D

Papa makes for a good floor mat.

 

Love that smile.

 

Drums

Here are some "action shots" as Mum shows Silas how to play the electric drums.


Wow.  What a good job Silas.

High Five!

 

Chipmunks

At the shopping centre, there is a playground for little ones called Chipmunks.


Silas loves to play there.

Daddy loves to take him down the slide.

Mum has fun too!

What a great place.

Where was chipmunks when I was growing up?  I had to play with rocks!
 

Ice Cream

We found out that Silas has anaphylaxis to peanuts and is allergic to walnuts. It is IMPOSSIBLE to find ice cream manufactured in a facility that doesn't also use peanuts, so we invested in a nice ice cream maker. Here is one of our first batches.


Are you ready to give it a try Silas?

Hmmm. I didn't have to teach him this.

Yum.

Want some more?  How about a big bite!?!?!

Yum Yum Yum

I think he likes it.

He DEFINITELY likes it!

 

Loves His Food

Just a few more shots of Silas eating.


It is a very serious business.

But we can have fun.

And laugh.

And fall asleep!

 

Play Ground

Silas is really starting to appreciate playgrounds now.


He goes through the tubes.

Out the other side.

But he still struggles on the bars!

 

Driving

Silas is WAY too interested in driving!


This time he found a red racing car.
Will the roads ever be safe again!?!?

 

Silas' Car

Here's Silas in his little blue truck.
Fortunately in this little one-seater,
we don't have to explain left-hand verses right-hand drive.
 

Picasso?

One of Silas' first masterpieces.
Hmmm, I wonder if I have the photo upside down...
 

Silas on Daddy's Shoulders - Video

I'm guessing I'll only be able to carry Silas on my shoulders for another month or so.  He is getting SO heavy.  I am going to enjoy it while I can. :)

Science

Tina is not wasting any time teaching Silas science.


A nice corn flour and coloured water mix makes for a fun experiment.

It is gooey when you move your fingers through it slowly,
but hard as a rock if you go fast. 

Go for it Silas.

He was fascinated.

Ok... this is pretty cool stuff.

Now how do I get this off my fingers?

I think this is too weird.

 

More Basketball

We picked up this adjustable basketball hoop the other day.


He certainly knows what to do.

We are inching it up higher and higher.

And I'm letting him practice his Air Jordan moves.

Stick out your tongue Silas.

In the hoop.

I'm not sure if which of us is having more fun.
