Rumble in the jungle PJs.

We did cuddles in the big bed with Mummy just after waking up. Leo is looking pretty cool in his new safari animal PJs.

Mummy and Leo had fun playing this afternoon. We think Leo might be sprouting some more teeth so he's needed a bit of distracting.

 Leo is getting very good at climbing the stairs!

Baby you can drive my car

Today Leo got to hang out with his cousin Makennah. She made him giggle with her silly faces and dancing.

 Grandad let Leo have a go in his Porsche. We think Leo will be asking to drive it pretty soon..

 Leo had fun trying to climb up the sculpture at the front of the house.

 He made himself useful by helping Grandad collect the mail.

Pram pusher

We didn't take many photos today for some reason! This is Leo playing with his reflection in the glass - he was completely fascinated this morning.

 Gramdma took Mummy and Leo to the outlets for a bit of shopping - Leo got some much needed new clothes in big boy sizes (he may be 9.5 months old but he needs 12-18 month old clothes because he's so tall!). Leo was more interested in pushing his own pram.

Father's Day

 Leo didn't get to spend Father's Day with his Daddy this year, although he and Ben did manage a good chat over Skype. The lucky boy did get to spend the day with Grandad however, and the sunny weather meant a trip to the swings this afternoon!

 Mummy made some delicious sweet potato, cheese and pea cakes for dinner which Leo put to use as a hand massage cream.

 After dinner Grandad tried to arrange Leo's tiles in the correct order while Leo tried to hide some of the pieces...

Dreaming of Daddy

Leo started the day at Zoka - Daddy's favourite coffee shop. He's missing his Daddy lots and wished he was there.

This afternoon Leo got to try out his new running buggy in Lincoln Park, near his Uncle Richard's house.

 

 We had a nice walk, and afterwards we relaxed at Marination (the Hawaiian-Korean restaurant of the best food truck in America). This is the view!

 Here we are facing that view!

 Leo relaxed after a busy day in his duck bath. He's getting more confident and keeps trying to climb out!

Newsflash! Today Leo figured out how to climb up stairs!! Uh oh...

Beary beary exciting

Mummy and Grandma took Leo to Woodland Park Zoo today. Leo loved checking out the lioness with her four 7 month old cubs.

 The grizzly bears were pretty exciting! They live in the Pacific Northwest - Leo is hoping he doesn't bump in to them in the neighbourhood.

 

Leo and the gorillas were smiling at each other!

Everyone should have a safety duck.

Leo, Mummy and Grandma started the day with a coffee in Juanita on Lake Washington. Leo seems to like his new Maclaren buggy a lot.

  As usual, lunch was a messy affair..

This afternoon Leo visited Grandad at work. He got his own visitors pass which we carefully positioned so he couldn't pull it off.

 Leo was finding the big bath a bit slippy so Mummy and Grandma found a special bath safety duck for him to sit it. He also got some new bath toys. He really enjoyed bathtime today.
