Our Day at Pretend City in Irvine

Pretend City was celebrating their 2nd Birthday today and gave everyone free admission. This was our first time there and Clint had so much fun!

Everything is set up so nicely and the staff is very friendly. It’s like Disneyland for toddlers!

We’ve got another climber!

Clint’s latest talent is climbing up on anything. In this video, he is climbing up on a box and jumping down onto his bear. He can also climb up on dining chairs then onto the dining table. … I can never leave him alone for even a minute now.
Clint is 15 months and 1 and a half weeks old.

The reason I say “another climber” is because Trenton is a good upwards climber; not a good “getting down” climber.

Clint was hungry

I was preparing dinner and left the fridge and veggie drawer open. When I turned back around, Clint had pulled a tomato out of the drawer and proceeded to eat it like an apple! He really likes tomatoes! He ate over half of it before moving on to something else.
Clint is one day shy of 15 months.

Irvine Spectrum Pop-up Fountains

The Irvine Spectrum has some fountains that lots of kids play at on warm days. Clint was having a lot of fun with them today and got completely soaked!
Clint is almost 15 months.

Clint and crayons

Clint plays this game of putting crayons in his mouth just to get a rise out of me when I take them out saying ‘yucky’. He thinks it’s so funny. I think it is so cute.
Clint is 14 months and 3 weeks.

Clint signing “more”and dancing

I have been teaching Clint sign language. He can sign “more”! Especially for blueberries. Signing the word “more” is putting your fingertips together which Clint can do whether prompted it not! Here’s a link to a picture of the sign http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/m/more.htm.
As a bonus, he is dancing, spinning, and clapping for your amusement.
Clint is 14 months and 3 weeks.

It was very hot and Clint just got a bath, that’s why he’s just in a diaper.

Walking on the pool cover

I got this video of Clint walking was very stable on the pool cover. It requires a lot of balance to stay upright. He went out to retrieve a ball and walked very well with it.
Not bad for 14 and a half months.

Clint and his 53″ Plush Bear

Well, as you can see from the video, we bought the bear. Clint loves it! He jumps on it, lies on it, and gives it hugs and kisses. Whenever he’s upset about anything, I just take him to the bear and the tears fade away into great big smiles. This was so worth it from Costco.
Clint is just a few days over 14 months.

53 Inch Plush Teddy Bear

These giant teddy bears were on sale at Costco and Clint went crazy for them as soon as he saw them. He loved them! I should have bought it.
Clint is almost 14 months.

A Trip to Dinosaur Park

I took Clint to Dinosaur Park in Laguna Hills. He wouldn’t leave my side but he was walking and running all around me.
His favorite activity was the swing. Second was watching the other kids.
Clint is 13 and 1/2 months.
