Outside Fun!!

Gunnar has been loovviinngg being outside, which he should, he IS our child! :) Last Friday he helped us work cattle, and he fit right into the routine. Uncle Evan said "next year he'll be inside the gate helping us sort pairs" ummm...not quite Ev, but good thinking! He has been helping with chores at night as well. The other night he was in his bib overalls and I had to bucket feed a heifer, which meant I put Gunnar on the outside of the cattle but he was hanging onto the gate. All of a sudden the heifers go running over to him and me, thinking he's going to be crying at these maniacs yell, "Gunnar, you're okay, it's okay buddy" and hurry as fast as I can. I come over to the gate, and he is sitting on a cement block, content as can be, with a smile on his face! I think it's safe to say, he's getting along great with the cows! He has been spending a lot of time in his new swing as well, and could probably hang out in there most of the day if we let him!

Gunnar has always loved bath time, and when Nathan is working late and I have to do bath time on my own, I have a little seat I put him in. Anyway, it's worked great until the other night I left the room for a split second to grab his towel, I came back to a little boy STANDING in his seat! I was shocked he could get out that fast! He must've been planning this for a few nights, because it takes some maneuvering to get his legs underneath him! He's such a goofball before and after bath too. He crawls as fast as he can laughing to get away from us, then usually gets so excited that he pees, closes the door to his bedroom on us, plays in the toilet any chance he gets, and drinks out of his empty soap bottle like it is a flask. GOOFY.

He has successfully slept through the night Tuesday-Friday night! Last night we had a family grad party, so our schedule was out of whack by an hour, but still, he didn't do too bad. Anyway, lots of changes going on with our little guy! He makes us smile constantly and I couldn't imagine my life without him!

Here's a few pictures to show you what has been going on in Gunnar's world lately...Enjoy!
