Off the Beaten Path

"Snips and snails and puppy dog tails."

How different little boys are from little girls. Until she could walk, our Brown Eyed Girl  was pretty content to crawl around and explore outside from the porch. Every once in a while she would venture onto the mowed down prairie weeds we have out front grass following Miss Kitty. 

Not this little dude. 

In fact as Mr Blue Eyes gets braver and braver, he pretty much goes where ever his little knees will take him. 

He is fascinated by rocks. 

He uses his tiny index finer to push the small pieces of recycled as-fault around in the drive way. After about ten minutes, which is like an hour to an eleven-month-old, he cruses over to the bigger river rocks in our landscaping.

Rocks!

He loves rocks.

Rolling them around.

Testing his strength.

I have to leave a pacifier in his mouth. Without it, taste testing the rocks is clearly an appropriate thing to do.

A penny for your thoughts Mr Blue Eyes?
