I enjoy taking Alex to new parks, just for a little bit of variety in our day.  This is Highland Ranch Park.  Lately, he really enjoys parks with the rock climbing walls.  My boy is a climber.  Im trying really hard not to be that mom that hovers.  Instead, I let him explore.  But today, he wanted to climb this wall in the worst way.  I was freaked out, because it was higher than I could reach.  But before I could convince him it was a bad idea, he was already at the top.  Here is said wall.....

He not only climbed it once, but numerous times.  I guess I have to let him grow up sometime.  I just hate that its so soon.  He's not even two yet, and he's climbing big boy rock walls.  Be still my heart!

Like most toddlers, Alex goes through eating phases.  Right now his phase is to eat me out of house and home.  Here he is enjoying his scrambled eggs, Spanish rice and avocado.  And chewing on his spork, as he is cutting his two year old molars.

Today was President's day.  Dada had the day off, so we headed off to Lake Poway to feed ducks and play at the park.  Here are my two favorite guys having a swing.

Today I broke out one of Alex's Christmas presents that we had stored away for a rainy day.  My mom bought him a tent/tunnel combo.  I knew he would love it.  I brought the tunnel out first.  He was a bit apprehensive at first.  He wouldn't crawl through it at all.  So I got him to roll balls through it instead.  Such a fun game!!

I was out in my front yard today, taking pictures of all the new growth on the trees and bushes and such, when I came across this little friend in my planter out front.  He let me take about 10 pictures of him.  Here is the best one.....and needless to say, I did not point him out to Alex for fear of what he may do to him.  Be safe little grasshopper!

Alex is addicted to his "Best of Laurie Berkner Band"  CD.  We have to listen to it in every single car ride we take, and I am constantly singing her songs as we play.  While he was napping, I was playing on youtube, and came across his favorite song.  Here he is, mesmorized, listening to "Rocketship Run"

Today was a rainy San Diego day :(  We would normally hit up the library, or an indoor playplace, but unfortunately our local school district is on a "district recess" this week, so I knew everywhere would be crowded as heck.  So we just headed to the mall for some walking.  We stopped to have a Starbucks break, a milk box for Alex, a hot chocolate for me and we shared a blueberry streusel muffin.  Yum!
