The Biasi's in North Carolina: July 2013

This boy is crazy

He is crawling and pulling up to a standing position onto stuff like chairs, couches, and coffee tables..now he wants to stand by himself. So a few times when I have held his arms so he can stand and practice walking, he has been able to jump with both feet an inch or so off the ground. Isn't that something a baby does around 1 1/2 years old?....

His favorite toy(s) are not his; he loves anything electronic: tv remote, cell phone, laptop computer. And when given a toy version of those items...he still goes after the real thing. And one day he happened to get a hold of the remote, he looks at it and then looks at the tv. He knows that that thing makes the tv work. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?...

He never stops moving. And he loves to babble. When asked what a sheep says, his answer is "Baa, baa." A pretty smart boy too.

He works really hard on feeding himself. He has a good pincher grasp so I've been giving him cheerios, pieces of bagels, and peas. He still needs to get better with the spoon making it to his mouth.

We end up with many messy faces at dinner time. Therefore he takes many baths too.

We spent Easter 2013 in Virginia and Grandma and Grandpa Biasi's house. We even got together with Raymond, Melissa, Preston, and Lila. Monday after Easter, we went to Busch Gardens. It was the nicest day of the week and Virginia schools also had spring break so the park was filled to capacity. We were lucky, we got there just in time. Clara again enjoyed herself on all the rides. Mike and I went on the new roller coaster: The Verbolten-brave the black forest. It was pretty good. It shoots you out real fast and does a bunch of twists in a very dark tunnel. Then it stops and you sit there for a few seconds, then the coaster drops. It is a surprise, the drop, but it is a short drop. Then it shoots you out again and the ride is over.

The only coaster we made it on that day. But I am just glad that Clara had fun.
