traveling talking man

We went to San Diego last weekend to visit my grandparents and Oscar had a blast. He's become such a good little traveler. We brought him to the beach kind of for his first beach experience. His official first beach experience was in Rio de Janeiro, but I don't think it counts because he didn't get to go in the water. Here he is fearlessly RUNNING for the water for the first time. He didn't even stop when he hit deep water, he just kept trying to keep going.



He had so much fun running away from the little ankle waves. He also got to go on his first bike ride. My grandpa fixed up the tubes on our bike tires and we got a baby bike seat and headed straight for Mission Bay. He had a blast looking everywhere. Here he is on his pre-beach test ride..



Oscar's really been increasing his vocabulary at a fast pace since he started walking, and simultaneously turning into a parrot. I don't know if the two developments go hand in hand, but he's picking up words as fast as he's learning to run and he's become our little echo. He truly repeats EVERYTHING we say or do and it's pretty funny and scary at the same time. A list of his words so far..
