Port Discovery Children's Museum

Back in February we went to the Children's Museum in Baltimore. My mom and I took Cohen there when he was younger and I thought it would be fun for Dan and I to take the boys. They had a blast!

It was nice to let Cohen roam and explore on his own a little bit and Kempton loved the toddler room!

Kempton also tried his best to keep up with Cohen in the rest of the rooms.

This place is 3 levels and in the middle is a giant play area that kids (and adults) can climb through. It was perfect for Cohen! He still needed a little bit of help on some things, but loved climbing up the rock walls and up the cargo nets. Kemp, of course, wanted to be part of it so we tried our best to let him do some things.

I am not sure what this next area was, but it was more stuff for them to climb on!

Next up was the water room, with the potential to get soaked!

Cohen spraying water to make music.

I love this picture. Cohen with his great ideas....He stuck his finger there and sprayed himself. Haha!

Both of the boys loved the "Home Living" room as Cohen called it. It was like a play Diner.

Cohen  really loved playing in this room!

Then it was off to explore some more!

A couple of videos of the boys running...

Working on some crafts 

The boys had such a fun time there! We will definitely go back again sometime!

Kempton: 17 Months

A little closer to on time this month! Here is an update on Kempton!

Kemp is wearing 18-24 month shirts and 12-18 month shorts/pants

He is still wearing size 4 Pampers diapers

He still likes the same foods as last month, and hasn't really tried anything new, besides a popsicle

He likes to walk outside and look for puppies!

He is a bit over dramatic when he doesn't get what he wants.  

Kempton has loves the toddler room at daycare and is learning lots of new things.He especially likes hanging out with his friend, Alice

He likes to say: puppy, milk, more, no, stop it, dada, mama, coco (cohen), ball, cheese, please, thank  you, hi, bye, mine....

He loves Cheese slices! He will grab the container out of the fridge and will always bring it to Cohen to open up!

Cohen helps, but gets annoyed about having to do it so often. :)

Kempton with his first popsicle :)

 Pushing the shopping cart at Trader Joes. It's fun for the first 5 minutes and then it is a hazard!

 Kempton still likes to play baseball

 ...and take breaks!

He rode on the Metro train to DC and was a little bit scared.

 

 He loves baseballs,footballs, golf balls and now volleyballs!

Kempton was obsessed with playing with volleyballs when we went to Uncle Tom's volleyball tournament in DC. Every time he would pick one up, he would try to throw it on the court. 

And would be pretty sad or mad if you tried to take it away. 

Kempton always lays down and looks at books before falling asleep and quite often I will find him still cuddling with his book. :)

My parents sent Kempton a pack of balloons. He was so EXCITED, which was fun at first and then he became obsessed with these dang balloons! Ha!

He had to hold a balloon while he ate. He HAD to bring the balloon in the car with him. Then he would throw the balloon in the car, and freak out because he could no longer reach it. Do you know how many times I had to turn around to give a balloon back to him?! Too many! Needless to say, I am not a huge fan of balloons like Kemp is. :)

Kempton is also of huge fan of helping me make my smoothies in the morning. :)

Smoothie and a balloon...could life get any better?! :)

Well maybe if he had a book and a balloon and was also blending a smoothie!

More pictures from his first Popsicle...

And a few more pictures from adventures over the last few weeks:

Eating lunch by the water

Playing at the park

Learning new things

Love his giggle in this video...

When Kemp wants the orange ball that Cohen is holding he says, "mine" "please" ( we have been working hard on the please) and when that doesn't work, well no more Mr. nice guy! Haha

That's all for now!

Love, 

Katie
