Falling in Love

I think it is safe to say that Baron fell in love with his Aunt Alyson this trip. He loved it when she would feed him. He loved it even more when she would play with him. He showed this love through a silly blink that the two of them started. She fell in love when Baron made his first joke at zoo lights (I'll share the joke below). It was so much fun to watch them bond.

One major event is that Baron started walking with walking toys last night! He just stood up and took off. It started completely out of control, but gradually he gained more control. Good thing Santa brought Baron this cool walk behind truck! Baron liked it the most when Aunt Alyson would sit on it and steer it for him. He was so funny - he was acting like he really had a job to do. He had to push her all over the house!

He helped Alyson take the dogs outside while wearing (and keeping on) the hat she gave him.

Here is the silly eye blink that Baron and Alyson were doing all weekend. Zoo Lights at Point Defiance Zoo. It was fun - especially for Nate packing Baron around on his back!

Okay - time for the joke that made Aunt Alyson's day. Baron and his daddy were looking at the Walruses. They were swimming and climbing up on the rocks and Baron was very interested. Then he shouted and pointed at them "Da-Da!" Nate responded quickly "That's NOT Da-da!"
This is one of my all time favorite pictures from the trip. Baron flirting with his Grandma Holstein. This picture makes me think Baron looks more like a Holstein than a Weber these days.
