Emergence of the toddler within

Over the last couple weeks or so our man has been exhibiting toddler-like behavior, putting his baby past squarely behind him:
- He has stopped crawling around, and walks everywhere
- He's mostly on his feet - hardly sits down for a minute
- He's in and out of everything! Loves opening doors / closets and rummaging within
- And finally, he's discovered the power of throwing tantrums (though it's still in the 'whining' stage)

A couple days ago we discovered a HUGE package outside our front door, addressed to Yohan Narjala, sender unknown. After a bit of investigative phone-calling, we pinned responsibility on his aunt Pia and uncle Sujan. We unwrapped a large Sand & Water activity center, and curious Yo just had to be in the middle of it all. We "tested" it indoors, but it eventually made it's way outside. Susan filled it up with water today and apparently Yo was quite happy splashing about. Thanks a lot for this, guys!!

Something else we set up this weekend was a play structure that was passed on from our friends Jonna and Mitch. We hosed this down and set it up in the backyard, and it will certainly keep the boy busy this summer. Thanks, Mitch and Jonna!
