Updates, updates everywhere.

All you picture-lovers out there are going to be THRILLED. I have many photographic updates for your viewing pleasure.

Last week, I ordered Turtle the infamous Anywhere Chair From Pottery Barn Kids. I've been eyeing it for a while, now, but Turtle hadn't really been ready for somewhere to just sit until recently. He loves our living room furniture, and so this was the time.

It came in less than a week (it was supposed to arrive today, actually, and came on Friday!). At the same time, my new 55-200mm lens showed up, so we were able to take pictures with the new lens. So my apologies in advance if some of the pics aren't fabulous.

Here is he is, checking it out.



Not entirely sure... It seems pretty cool, but...



Oh, hey wait, I can climb up and down! So cool!



Daddy, listen... I love you and all but let's make no mistakes. This is MY chair. You can rest your chin right there, but any closer and we're gonna have problems.



Next up, mealtimes.

Turtle has been exhibiting interest in silverware, so I whipped out the Miami Hurricanes fork for him to try out. Since he's such a big boy at the kitchen table, perhaps he's ready to be a big boy with his dining habits.

Ok, so I hold my fork in one hand, and feed myself with the other?



No? I'm doing it wrong? Ok, if you say so...



So I poke the food with this metal thing... Thank goodness Bentley is here to supervise.



And then I put it in my mouth...



Are you getting this one the camera, mom? Are you?



Since the weather is getting nicer, we have been spending more time outside.



Wheeee!



Just playing around with my lens and pugs.



Don't be fooled. This dog is a ferocious lizard-hunter.



Slides are fuuuunnn!!!!



Happy happy happy!



Oscar's tongue is about as big as he is.



This lizard was hanging out on Turtle's playhouse. He will soon become prey.



And finally, I picked up those Color Wonders markers from Target. Allegedly, the markers are clear and only show up on special Color Wonders paper. Great idea, says I. Not as much fun as regular markers, says Turtle.

Concentrating. Very. Hard.



Look what I have!
