The weather was pleasant so after dinner we moved our party to the back yard for Bennett to work on perfecting his newest skill.

Oh yes, my not-quite-two and a half year old has declared himself too big to use a baseball tee. So he's moved on to coach pitch.
What a stance.

I love his look of concentration. Apparently sticking the tongue out helps?

Keeping his eye on the ball...it's a hit!

Meanwhile, Dayton finished off some peas and carrots.

Have I mentioned that she prefers to feed herself?


She manages to commandeer almost every feeding operation.

And it makes quite a mess.

Somehow I find her to be irresistibly cute, even covered in icky, sticky baby food.

Hopefully next time it won't be a month between blog posts! I'll try to do better. (But I make no promises...) Until next time!
