Full Body Workout at the Park

Travis has turned over a new leaf. He's trying to get buff for springtime at the kiddie pool. His current routine starts off with pushing around a dump truck, then the shopping cart, but always remembering to stay hydrated with his protein drink. Dad gave him a spot while he tried to do one-armed pull-ups, then Uncle Carl and Mom walked with him while he did some high-step exercises. We weren't sure what that exercise was working, but he assured us that it burns baby fat--so of course we stopped him from doing that immediately! :-) Finally, after some Carl-powered dump truck luge, he took a milk break, then cooled down on the swing. This guy is NONSTOP!

Fun on the Farm

Travis spent the weekend visiting his friend Walter on his farm. He had a great time playing on the slide, bouncing the ball, pushing around the tractor, and watching Walter do what big 3 year-old boys do.

Play Time

Waiting for a car repair, we spent some time at the mall. Travis spent his time hangin' out on the playground where he made some friends and had some laughs.

Fun with Insects!

Travis checked out the tropical habitat exhibit at the Museum of Natural Science. He even got to touch the big, green bug!

In the Eagle's Nest

Imelda took Travis to the zoo. She looked around for Travis and he was not in his stroller! A large eagle had grabbed him and flown him up to her own nest to be one of her babies. He thought it was all pretty cool. Well, I guess it may not have happened quite like that. :-)

Travis' Birthday Extravaganza!

Although Travis is one of those kids with their birthday near Christmas, we can at least tell him that for his 1st birthday, he had 3 celebrations. The Haley and Santos families got together for a combined birthday for Travis. Travis loved hangin' with the little kids, eating some more cake, and taking a ride on the horse Grandpa Gilberto brought him.

White Rock Lake

Travis loved strolling around White Rock Lake on a sunny January afternoon. He was able to see the pelicans who winter at Winfrey Point and was very curious about all of the other birds there as well, like the coots, geese, ducks, etc. He even shared some of his cheerios with them.

Visit to Greg's "House"

Our cousin Greg invited us over to his new house which is actually an old renovated church that he shares with 10 other people. Travis was very interested in all he saw. He loved scooting around the wood floors and checking out the koi pond. We will definitely have to come back to visit Greg again!

Pappy's 92nd Birthday!

Travis had the opportunity to celebrate his great grandfather's birthday with him. He also had fun eating peas and throwing the bread basket on the floor.

More Birthday Fun (in Dallas)

While we had fun celebrating Travis' birthday with him at home in Houston, we celebrated it again with family up in Dallas. Carl had a "dive cake" made for Travis which he...dived into. He had fun with family and new toys. He loves eating cottage cheese (and smearing it on his face). Finally, exhausted, he fell asleep in his high chair.
