July 4th
In the afternoon, the fam walked to the Mall to check out the hordes of tourists.
We took a break so the dog could catch his breath, and hung out for a picnic.
Oh, grass!
Our son, the future technophile...
We got out of there before the true masses showed up, and went to a neighbors for a BBQ. Unfortunately, no pics of that time though...
But alas, happy 4th!

New Toys for Tigger
Given how much time he spends playing (it's a great life, huh?), Papa Tigger and I decided Tigger needed a few more toys. So Papa Tigger and I headed to Target and picked up a few new toys - a piano toy and ride-on firetruck. He really seems to like them!
In fact, the piano toy is helping him with his vocal skills!
I'm not sure who played harder, Tigger or Papa Tigger....

Eyes, Standing and Funny Videos
More happy news is that Tigger is standing. Not only is he standing, but he's doing it by himself (ok, he uses the window)! The video below is evidence of him standing. It seems a bit long, but that's because Papa Tigger kept waiting for Tigger to fall or sit down. Nope, he stood the whole time!
And here are some other videos, of Papa Tigger and Tigger being funny (separately).

Cutie Playtime
This morning, he was playing while Papa Tigger and I got ready. He's recently figured out that his playmat is a collection of foam pieces interlocked together. He thinks it's a puzzle for him to solve......
Later today, after I picked him up from day care, he was occupying himself while I tried to get some work done. He was so cute, I grabbed the Flip. He played happily for nearly three minutes before he realized I was filming him (and turned into a ham)!
He started to get tired after that, but I was able to grab a few seconds of him getting on all fours. Apologies for the camera work; he was trying to crawl on me while I was trying to film.

Happy Father's Day!
On Saturady, Papa Tigger had some quality time playing with Tigger:
Tigger likes to grab the camera. A lot of my pictures turn out like this:
I was taking so many pictures, Papa Tigger felt the need to protect Tigger from the flash (my thumb accidentally got in the picture too):
After a picnic at our church, Papa Tigger spent the afternoon doing something very fatherly - putting up baby gates to "protect the child!" Our house has three levels, so there are quite a few stairs that Tigger can fall down. Now that he's crawling, we're starting to baby-proof the house. Here are the before pictures:
And some action shots. Tigger even got in on it!
And here are the after pictures. Papa Tigger did a great job!!
They are a bit obtrusive, but we have some extra parts because we didn't want to drill into the banisters. Just to make sure he did a good installation job, Papa Tigger tested the gates with Tigger. They're sturdy!

Walking (with help from Papa Tigger)
Another one of Tigger's favorite things is to play with my feet. I think he likes the brightly colored toenails!

Tigger Loves to Play
He also loves strings and straps. In his stroller and car seat, he always plays with the straps. And he's just discovered shoelaces! Update from Papa Tigger: G-Pa T discovered this interest of Tigger's a few weeks ago, but no pics were available...
Here he is sitting in my lap this morning; notice the shoelace still in his hand:
Speaking of toys and playtime, Papa Tigger has informed me that we need to buy Tigger some new toys - not because Tigger is bored with them, but because Papa Tigger is. I guess playtime isn't just for Tigger!
