What We Have Been Up To...

This was right before we left the house for church. He is wearing his new StrideRites! When I first put them on him, he did not want to put his feet on the ground. He would hold his legs up in the air when I was trying to stand him up. He got used to the feeling of them quite quickly, however. Now the real difficulty is getting him used to them to the point where he doesn't trip as he tries to walk! Practice makes perfect though!

We had a day out in the sun. It got quite hot, so we cooled off with a popsicle. He ate it all the way down to the stick, and then he, unfortunately, dropped it. When I took it away, he cried so hard. I was not his favorite person at that moment.

This was part of our day out in the sun! I got him this blow up swimming pool. He was not too fond of the freezing water, but enjoyed being outside.

We went to the park one day in Canon City. We had a little picnic with just the two of us, and it was really fun. He loved to see the birds that would hop around on the grass. The trucks that drove by and dogs running around were really intriguing to him as well. He doesn't usually get exposed to that many different sounds and sights up at the cabin.

Jaden went Visiting Teaching with me one afternoon last month. It was a very long day for him, as my companion and I have four ladies to go visit. He was very good during the appointments, but got a bit whiney towards the end. That is expected though. My VT companion took this at the end of our day.
