blocks and animals and trucks oh my!

Our boy loves to play! I love this age! He is so inquisitive and into everything, which can be frustrating but also fun. He is amused by the simplest things and it is so fun to watch him discovering things for the first time. Among his favorite things to play is with his stacking blocks. There are 10 of them and he waits patiently with great anticipation for me to stack them all before crawling over and gently knocking them over.

Now that he is more mobile we have been going to our play room more often. It's nice because we keep different toys down there so each time we go down it's like he's discovering the toys for the first time over and over again. We also have introduced him to Thomas the Train, who he absolutely adores. He has two bigger Thomas board books that he will sit and listen to as he points to the eyes and smiles. While he was sick we watched a lot of Thomas dvds which we have been acquiring. Each time Thomas comes round the bend in the intro Rupert's face lights up with a huge smile and he waves at the tv. So cute! This first pic is when one of the trains crashed, notice his concern and a little bit of fear for the poor engine!

Rupert the pirate aka Captain Poopy Pants!

Rupert loves standing these days and we are so lucky to have a ledge all around the play room that Rupe can reach and play along! There's even a window that he can look out which he absolutely loves.

Rupert is also still really enjoying his ride on truck. Well not so much riding as sitting, but he loves it just the same.

And one last fun shot in his lego box. One day he will build tall towers and amazing creations but for now eating them will suffice!
