I bought a gallon of water home and North swooshed in on it and wanted to play with it. I laid it on its side so it wouldn't fall, and when I did that he protested because he thought I was taking it away from him. Once on its side he grabbed the handle and drug it all over the apartment. A gallon of water weighs a little over 8 pounds according to my web search.
Lately North has begun standing, climbing stairs, and all kinds of things that, to his parents at least, are signs of maturing. This picture shows he's still a baby.
This is one of the places I take North to several times a day, and lately we are letting him play on the concrete, dirt and leaves along the Burke-Gilman trail which runs along the ship canal. This "Rock Valley" is a plaza of steps leading down to the water, next to the Google Research and Development labs.
Our neighborhood has a Halloween event in which most all area businesses give out treats between 3:00 and 6:00. The sidewalks were full of toddlers and their parents. We had a great time. This was all right outside our door, with our first stop at Jive Time Records being in our same building. I included the map of our route at the bottom of this blog post.
