Thursday, I was cleaning the house before our visitors arrived. I put in a DVD for Dallas, sat him in his walker, gave him some snack and a drink, and I went about my business. After a while, I realized it was quite in the front room...and this is what I found.
Dallas opened his presents on Friday afternoon after Gram, Grandpa and Aunt Josie arrived. He had to touch each one first before deciding which one to tear into.
He chose the bag first...
Inside were plates, a fork and spoon, a big boy cup, a cup with a straw, bowls and ice packs from Aunt Josie. They all had a jungle theme to them.
It's a plate!
Dallas moved on to another present before finishing everything that was in the bag...we'll get back to those in a while.
Check out all the summer outfits from Gram and Grandpa! Dallas thought it was fun to toss them out of the box and make a pile behind himself.

Dallas has his own porch rocker to match Mommy and Daddy's! Now, if he would only sit long enough to enjoy it. As you can see...he was much more interested in the clothes again.

The big boy cup...he's trying to decide what you do with it...

On Saturday, we went to a toy show. It was at Heartland Acres in Independence, IA. Not only did they have the toy show, but they had a lot of hands-on activities for kids and a Big and Small Tails area (farm animals on display). Here's Dallas and Daddy enjoying the milk bench.
Heartland Acres is located in Buchanan County where there are many barn quilts on homesteads. This one is called 'pinwheel'.

Doug tried setting Dallas on the Hereford to get a picture, but Dallas wanted nothing to do with it.
He finally grabbed the halter, but he still wasn't too sure about it (and yes, that's a plastic steer).
After our morning at Heartland Acres, we came home to enjoy the sunshine! Gram and Grandpa brought this wagon with them...Dallas loved being pulled around the yard.
Dallas is so on the verge of walking. He loves to walk with you while you hold his hands. I think everyone got their fair share of walking in this weekend, including Aunt Josie and Gram.

Leave it to the guys to come up with a better solution that walking and pulling a wagon...

After a full day outside playing, a certain little boy needed a bath.
Until next time...
Looks like a great birthday! :)
