Walking to the end of our street and back
Walking in the park
As you can see from the videos, he's speedy and determined. He would keep going, if not for all the obstacles and distractions.
Junior loves to explore and usually finds the least obvious place to hang out.
He is also a climber and shows no fear of heights.
We took him to Dundonald Park in Wimbledon, and he enjoyed being perched at the top of one of the play structures.
Wide open spaces have their appeal as well. He left our picnic blanket at Fulham Palace Gardens to get a better view of a dog...
...and he chased some pigeons in South Park Gardens.
He discovered sand and dirt.
I took him to the London Transport Museum for the first time, and we enjoyed it so much we went back the following week.
On rainy days, we visited the library and stayed indoors.
And, alas, we are (reluctantly) preparing for colder weather, and battling off runny noses.
The upcoming month promises both excitement and challenge for all of us: we'll take our first trip to California, and then I'll go back to work. The days are getting shorter and colder. The leaves on the trees are changing. Junior's friends are celebrating their first birthdays, and it will be his turn all too soon.
