Talmage hit a couple developmental milestones this week. The first one I wasn't expecting at all, had never considered... Robin called me at work and exclaimed that Talmage was stacking blocks. This was a definite departure from his usual destructive performance with the blocks on the coffee table. It's fun to watch his concentration as he tries to manipulate a block and place it carefully upon another. For his second milestone, he enunciated his first audible word. He knows what it means and will say it whenever the time is right. His first word is (no joke) "chicken"
We visited Silver Falls, OR this past weekend--land of large and many waterfalls. Our ward had the Father/Son campout there and I played substitute dad for a couple boys. Robin and Talmage joined me the next day along with cousins from Corvallis and we enjoyed a short hike and picnic together.
Driving home I jumped into the large Walmart in Woodburn to purchase some badly needed socks. Inside a Mariachi band was playing live music--happy Cinco de Mayo.
