Parade Downtown

We met up with mommy's close friend from childhood, Dave, and enjoyed all the festivities downtown! Note: it was also Andrew's first time taking the T (both train and bus!) which were received well. Also note: a lot of Andrew's clothing is from Dave's nephew, Danny! I think he is even wearing Danny's overalls here :D.Dave and his friend Aaron. Andrew loved them! They're so much fun.

Since Andrew slept in (an unprecedented 8:45am), and there was so much action, he didn't nap until we left (2pm). Every time a musical float came by, he even danced (bouncing up and down to the beat). Yeah! We had fun!!
Lots of freebies! Andrew got a stuffed bear, a sheriff's badge, and football stickers, among other things. One thing he lost: a ball with the world printed on it. He was using it like a teether then it dropped and rolled away... Only for someone to quickly scoop it up and stuff it in their bag! Mom had a chuckle.. Little did than person know, it was all drooly.... Andrew looked around for it but the parade excitement soon made him forget.

Ice Cream Party at the Library

First we enjoyed the sprinklers at the nearby Hooker/Sorrento Park. He crawled right under them! I am pretty sure it was a mistake (but a good one to cool off).

Meanwhile, his buddy Katie, all stylish in her bikini (Mom holding her), LOVES the sprinklers! She is nearly walking- having taken a few tentative steps already. She holds her Mommy's hands to help her walk in. His other buddy Adrian is not too far behind! She just started standing up!
Adrian and her Mommy enjoying the ice cream. Though I didn't take photos of it (ahem, too busy chasing I guess), Adrian and Andrew had a fun time crawling around together. It was really cute! The library also had lots of small-size chairs that, once strategically placed, were perfect for cruising! It was nice not having to be "quiet" in the children's section of the library~ with all the kids and babies, it was quite hectic and noisy!!

All packed up, ready to move on~~~ Note the empty containers on Andrew's stroller: 2.
One for him, one for me! Ahem, maybe I shared a couple spoonfuls;;;
Chocolate and Cookie Dough ice cream- YUM!

Back at the park! This time, for some jungle gym time.
