nothing says friday like waking up to grandma in your bed. my mom drove in early to beat the city traffic and snuck into bed before silas woke up. since he figured out how to talk his first word every morning has been "papa," whether pointing at the man himself or his pillow. today it was a puzzled look, a vigorous eye rub and then "gre-ma!"

so to celebrate the visit and silas skipping his morning naps - we headed out to the shedd aquarium. it was a whole new experience now that my kid can walk.

who needs a stinking dolphin show, when you got empty cement steps to climb up and down and up and down and up.

rudy said to just hang out here until he got back.
