At the mall

Since the summer heat made running about outside a bit uncomfort-able, we made several trips to what Bino dubbed the "baby park" at the mall, where he had lots of F-U-N, as you can see. Most times these trips also involved c-o-o-k-i-e-s with Tata.

In addition to getting a lot of exercise and practicing his social skills with other kids, Bino showed off his reading skills (with the block letters--at this point, he can recognize and name both capitals and lower-case of just about every letter!) and learned about colors. (He used to call almost every color "purple," but here he is pointing and naming them using the M&Ms on his cookie. He can now recognize and name blue, orange, red, white, black, green, and yellow.)
