Watson's Latest Favorites

My baby boy is becoming more and more independent each day. I'm constantly amazed at how much he communicates and how opinionated he is already. Where does he get that? He got new boots for his birthday from Grandma Nettie and he looks for every opportunity to wear them--inside or outside. I'm grateful he has enough balance and walking experience to actually function with them on.  He has broken them the past few weeks by tromping through the snow. The next step is getting him to keep his hat on his head when he is in the freezing outside.
No matter where he is, at home, at the Kidscare at the gym, at Grandma's, or in the car--Watson always has his sippy cup of water. I have been trying to get him to drink milk more frequently but water is the beverage of choice around here. He will walk around all day with his cup and loudly say "Ahhhh!" after each sip. It is really cute.
Not only is Dad Watson's favorite person--unless Chandler is around--but Dad plays Watson's favorite game--Spaceship. This is the 3rd version of the spacecraft.  The first one fell apart due to its main purpose to contain toys in the living room, its woven parts not really conducive to flying through space. The second ship is usually busy holding laundry to be folded.  This third ship works perfectly every day. It makes for a good workout for Dad! Watson loves to stand as he flies and is getting really good at balancing in every condition.

Looks like fun times at your house! I might suggest flying a spaceship to Steve for his daily workout. :) I'm sure ALL the kids would want to have a turn.
