In his little denims
"Dance, Teddy, dance." Teddy, with wool tied to his ears and baby shoes on his feet, gets taught to "dass dass dass".
Quite pleased with himself and his chair-climbing ability.
Asleep on the floor again!
New little utensils. He got the hang of the fork very quickly.
Having a go at "The Chronicles of Narnia".
Wearing his new mittens on his feet.
Having his lemon butter sandwich at his kid-sized table.
He spent about 5 minutes trying to knock down the phone before he gave up.
I love "AH DIN!" He also loves carrying frozen stuff from the freezer (in the laundry) up to the kitchen for Mummy, because he cries when we take it off him.
I dare you to put it on the FOURTH shelf, because I'll get it there, too!
Byron's response to the question "Do you want to go outside?"
Outside! He's practicing walking with his sneakers on the rough paddock ground. It's not easy.
Where he got stuck while trying to get the mop or something.
Er... a little help?
Pikelets (with lemon and sugar, of course) for breaky
How mummy found them when she came home from grocery shopping.
Bath, just before getting his first haircut
His little "chair" for watching TV, bouncing to songs and 'veging'
One grumpy day, when he wouldn't do anything, he managed to snag this tomato out of the fridge and chomped it into smithereens for about 15 minutes. Had to have a bath afterwards, but, oh, well... he was happy!
Byron's first "campfire", burning some scrap wood
Byron was given an unopened iceypole, as he seemed to love chewing something cold. A few minutes later, we realized he'd opened it with his teeth... and half frozen his little cheeks!
Opening the first present, a bear night light. We also gave him a board book, some clothes, and Mummy knitted him a hooded vest.
Spent most of the morning playing with all the balloons that turned up in his playpen.
When it occurs to him that, even though he's sick of ripping paper, when he does... everyone cheers!
One of two icecream cakes (there were lots of people). http://video.about.com/baking/Ice-Cream-Cake.htm
I used "Cookies and Cream" icecream, put a bit of Ice Magic in the middle, and colored choc chips on top.
New clothes and new cars. 
Checking out the sleeping bag "accessories"
He had to go outside today (May 18), to help his parents and Uncle Jason put up the garden shed. He supervised from the pram, while looking cute in his new coat.
Definitely a favorite. We had to take it away before he'd so much as look towards another present.
Things Byron tries to say: Dog "Duh", bath "BAAA!!", bird "buh", shut "shuh", shoes "shzz", cheese "chshhh", toes "tuh", mum, daddy "daDA", Ra Ra (dog noise), grrr and brrrm, [what are you] doin' "doogan", socks "sop". He can walk 3 or 4 steps, but can rarely be bothered. He has two new top teeth. He can go anywhere with his walker, but still seems to prefer the box... or to get down and check out the wheels like a little mechanic. He will spontaneously kiss and hug... even his toys or a picture he likes. He has been seen licking the rug, presumably to see if the pattern tastes different. He waves at his reflection, and his shadow. He loves Hi 5, and bounces on his mesh bouncer (which is his "chair") to the music. His palms are ticklish. He likes to pull his socks off in separate places. His top three most exciting things are watching the dryer, having a "BAAA!!", and going outside with Daddy.
Waking up all sweaty on a warm day.
Helping mummy make biscuits.
Visiting Sovereign Hill. He wasn't sure about the big horses, but he liked seeing his Daddy and the steam works. He also saw the Gold Pour, tried a bun from the bakery, got rained on, ate some Sovereign Hill gravel, watched the gold panners, and generally took everything in.
Watching the wheels at the Beam Pump.
Long lost Auntie Kelly.
er... Knitting!
Sam the dog.
We got him a walker, and he can now turn it when he runs into something (right only), but I think he's spent more time getting in and out of the box Ü
More boxes! (This is the one for his new car seat)
In spite of having fallen off this old computer a dozen times, my fearless little Byron climbs up again to reach better books. Next he got down the brown one on the next shelf up. He has been pulling these ones ("Ellie Chronicles") down all week, so I put them up a shelf... thus the climb.
We have to be careful about the B.A.T.H. word... his little face lights up when he hears it, like a dog with "walk". If we're not serious about a bath Right Now, well, it's just unkind.
Trying to get a picture of "the wave" which is the way his hair wants to go. It parts equally well on the right and left and the grain goes in to the centre to make an almost surfable wave.
Favorite study activity (other than book-throwing) is to turn the printer on and off. Nathan moved the printer under the computer table, but he found it in 2 seconds.
"Helping" mummy make a knitted toy sheep. (Finished product is very popular. See pic on http://knitterings.blogspot.com/)
Ready to be wrapped. We have to be careful what we leave near the edges of tabletops these days.
Lately, with the warm weather, he has been refusing to have a daytime sleep. Then he conks out on the floor! He actually fell asleep on my knee, and the stove timer went off, so I dumped him here and he went back to sleep.
He was resting his head on the floor (watching TV) and when I put the pillow in front of him he crawled on. Slept here for well over an hour.
Byron's treadmill. Well, actually it's his mum's, but she can't use it much. Either she wakes him up, or she risks him getting sucked under... because he can't stay away!
Up on the tready mechanics. He leaned forwards a bit far one day and did a lovely little forward roll. Looked quite stunned at his daring, but he didn't cry.
Trying to get higher. Potential mountain-hiking nut.
Favorite thing to chew. Note the baggy eyes... his mummy has them, too!
