David goes to Washington D.C.!

We took David to D.C. for the weekend and had a great time! David liked looking at all the sites and strolling around the town. He also liked waving at people as we strolled by. We spent a lot of time out lounging in the malls on the grass too so that David could practice his crawling. We walked around the White House, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, WWII and Korean Memorials on Friday. Then on Saturday we spent the morning at the National Zoo, where David loved looking at the meerkats because they would run around their exhibit and come right up to him and say hello. We went to the Newseum and saw the history of news - see my video from that below. The Newseum had an exhibit where you could create and later download a newsclip of yourself - you were supposed to read a script but I ad-libbed too! We went to the outdoor garden at the national art gallery. On Sunday we also made brief stops in the National Air and Space Museum and the Art Museum and spent time on the mall, where we fed the birds, which David also enjoyed seeing. It was a good weekend, and Jake enjoyed his first Father's Day!

Video from the D.C. Newseum

This is our video from the Newseum museum in D.C. - it had an exhibit where you could create a fake news video and later download it - we read from a script and also ad-libbed.

Playroom

Here is David enjoying his playroom. He likes to play and make music with the Leapfrog learning table and likes to play with the Learning Home, where he watches the door and window open and close and likes to play with the shapes.

Computer Geeks

David already loves computers, whether it is looking at the monitor or banging on the keys!

More pool time!

David enjoys his kiddie pool. He likes to put water in cups and pour it out. He likes playing with the tub sub and other water toys.

Laughing video

Here is David laughing and eating a Mum Mum cracker! Sorry this video is sideways - it was taken on my phone that way and haven't figured out how to get it rotated correctly.

David spots a bunny

We saw a baby bunny in front of us on one of our evening walks in the neighborhood. Can you spot it? It jumped away when we got close. We've seen it a couple times since then.
