silas and i spent the weekend with my mom. sam strapped on his hiking boots and kissed us goodbye early, early on saturday morning. silas and i drove up to grandma's after breakfast and arrived up north to a sunny day and the swimming pool open for the season. it was a bit chilly but he and i braved the waters and swam in circles and practiced our kicking. the weekend was beautiful, we relaxed on the porch, silas reached for the bubbles and refused to look at the clouds no matter how animatedly we gestured towards them. grandma ruth found cicada shells leftover from molting and silas eagerly touched them with one pointed finger. when we returned home sunday afternoon, we both knocked out napping while sam told us tales of walking through rainstorms and bug clouds. we celebrated being three again with a pizza for us and an avocado for silas.
silas and jeero warm up to grandma.

butt naked time in the backyard. silas had a lot to say and was chatting nonstop for most of the afternoon.

practicing standing (standing!) in the living room.
