Sean at Preschool

Sean has really enjoyed going to preschool at Willow Meadow's Baptist Church. He loves the two teachers and signals "more!" excitedly when he first sees them in the morning. We re-upped him for the summer yesterday. There was, however, no signing bonus...

President's Day in Kerrville

Not only have we been bad on updating the blog, but also on actually taking pictures. Sean is so active now that when he is awake there is little downtime. Friday Barbara had work in Austin, so she and Sean drove to Kerrville on Thursday. I flew into Austin Friday afternoon and drove back to Kerrville with Barbara.

Saturday the weather was very dreary. We spent the afternoon in Fredricksburg where the sun came out a little. Sunday we went to the San Antonio Zoo after church. Sean liked things that moved: bats, beaded lizard, birds, and the rhino.

Sean Walks!

Superbowl night at Dziadziu and Grandma's Sean began taking multiple steps. By Tuesday he was going 8-10 at a time. Now, he walks at will and is starting to prefer it to crawling. This evening he walked from the office to the kitchen, played with his refrigerator magnets, and then walked back into the office, all without sitting or crawling. I will be frantically installing the rest of the child locks on Saturday morning! Pictures later...

Groundhog Day

Sean saw his shadow! We finally had a nice enough day last Saturday to spend some quality time outside. Sean played around the granite sitting area and seemed to know instinctively that it was not a place for crawling.

It looks like Sean's results match Punxsutawney Phil's in predicting 6 more weeks of winter. Their predictions were in the minority as 10 of the 14 official marmot predictors (71%) predicted an early Spring.

We also took Sean's wagon to Willow Park to let him check it out. He really dug the slide and was going down on his own. He just laughed away on the swing.

Saturday night we had Mardi Gras at Nick and Heather's house with Uncle Greg and a host of others.
