August

In August, it was relaxing time.



It was tennis time.



It was Grandma and Grandpa time.




It's always dino time.



It was ABC time.



It was music time.





It was bicycle time.





And as always, it was frolic time.

Tour de Boulder

Julian has been practicing his riding on the back patio. But yesterday, he decided to go forth into the wider world.





(By the way, those are Mommy's bike gloves that he insists on wearing. We may have to get him his own eventually.)

July Julian

Julian had a good month! His Aunt Chris just stopped by to see him, and left him with some new table settings:



Earlier in the month, Julian had a big breakthrough with his spelling. He also now knows that octagons say "S-O-P STOP" and that "N-O" spells his favorite word, but first he had to start with the basics:



These days, Julian has a lot to say:



Though when he needs to be, he can be a man of few words.

Summer fun

Julian is having a great summer, filled with wonderful summery things.

We went to a bbq at a friend's house, and we brought ice cream sandwiches:



And of course, there was baseball:

We went to a July 3 Toddler Trike/Bike/Wagon Parade, organized by Lyra's mom:



We celebrated the 4th of July by playing baseball:



On Sunday, we went to the zoo with Julia. It was a tremendously successful expedition!

More Aspen pictures

Only one from Aspen proper, the rainbow we saw downtown:


On the way home we drove over Independence Pass. It's way up in the mountains, the road is closed most of the year, and the approach involves some very exciting driving. We parked at the top to take a few pictures, and it was snowing. In mid-June.

Sports

Julian, upon being told that he was watching Roger on TV, said "Like my Roger bear!" and went to find Roger Feder-bear so he could watch tennis too.


In Aspen, we improvised baseball with an umbrella and beach ball:


But when we came back to Boulder, we found him a real bat!
