Boy are we in trouble

Look what dad caught me doing when he came back from starting my bath. Mom and dad were sure to lower my bed right away so that I wouldn't come tumbling out during the night or in the morning when I woke up.
Even after lowering my bed mom found me standing after my nap this afternoon.

SWINGING

Phoenix

This past weekend Joel and I went to visit my best friend in Phoenix. We had a great time. On Friday we took Joel to the zoo which was pretty cool. The animals were all out since we went in the morning but it was super busy. Then on Saturday we took him to the Children's Museum. The Museum was ok but a lot of it was under construction. He found a few things he liked to play with. The rest of the time we went to some good restaurants and just hung out and caught up with old friends.
