Wren is 18 months

With all the hoo-hah about cardiology clinic I failed to post the official WREN IS 18 MONTHS hoorah. So, here it is "Wren is 18 months old!"

I am going to write a lot more about him on Friday when I have some time alone, meanwhile, here are some pictures and a reminder of the main themes:
1) Wren loves DIGGERS. He loves digger toys, big diggers, excavators at construction sites, books on diggers and Bob the Builder - scoop and muck in particular. He loves to read books and just point at them and say "roller", "scoop" "BOB", "Digger", bulldozer" and "rock". At Chuck-E-Cheez today (another story) he spent 20 tokens on the Bob the Builder Scoop ride which was bright yellow, toddler sized and rocked while singing the Bob theme song.

2) Wren talks a lot but is not widely understood. Words to follow.

3) Wren is terrified of squirrels (nut or num nums) and Stellars Jays which cackle aggressively at our cats in the yard.

4) Wren enjoys making bread. He says "bread" and "dough" and rushes to the kitchen to get ready when I mention the plan to make dough. His favorite part is covering the butcher block with flour and spreading it around and then hitting and poking the dough down for a final rise.

5) Walking. Wren loves running up the street and going on walks. He also enjoys stroller riding but of late has preferred to get down a lot and walk, smelling flowers, pulling off Lavender, examining bees up close and commenting on things in yards and the street. He particularly enjoys running up and down driveways saying "up" and "down" as he descends.

Here is Wren making a collection of diggers on his kitchen stool. This was very early in the morning on one of his just 5am wakings. We were making bread.



These pictures are of a Sunday Breakfast at Whole foods. The store opens at 7am and we managed to make it there by 6.58am. It helps to be out of the house so Frost and Joshua can sleep to normal hours (7.30am and 10am respectively). This is after eating the scrambled egg and breakfast sausages and some samples of danish.


Joshua and Wren enjoy the hammock on the new deck which is now complete. Notice that Wren has a Duplo digger in his hand.

This evening, Wren discovered he likes limes and walked around sucking on the lime I used for the salad. Frost was very impressed that Wren could suck a lime and suggested I give him a chilli next.
