Activities: inside and outside

The Goose is on the move in a big way. She's a fast crawler now and loves to get into tight spaces like the bottom of her exer-saucer (pictured) and under kitchen chairs.... Hence she receives close supervision to keep her out of trouble. Her bigger siblings love to interact with her, from the head-patting shown to rougher play (read: potential light mauling) - which also requires pretty attentive supervision from mom and dad!

She's even beginning to join the bigger kids in the pig-pile style wrestling matches with Dad that are the delight of many evenings! Angus gets in on this one too.

This morning we went blueberry picking which was enjoyed by all. They were not as effusive as last year, and this combined with Roo's potty-needs (necessitating a full clothing change because savvy with port-a-potties is as yet under-developed) and the Monkey's dad-assisted tractor ride (too loud for Roo) caused our crop to be a bit smaller than last June's 7 lbs. We walked away with 4.5 lbs this time which isn't too bad. The Goose's first venture of this type - though she was getting pretty bulky on the inside when we went last year as I recall...
