Not the greatest videos, but at least it gives an idea of Maynar's activity these days.

Stirring
(Stirring being the season before spring, when the earth begins to awake from winter.)
Off for a walk on a lovely sunny afternoon.
The chamomile along the foundation is ready to grow!
And here come the bulbs...
Maynar HATES coming back inside, no matter how much time we have spent outside, so Mick enacted a tradition of chocolate milk to give Maynar something to look forward to once we are back indoors. (It's a pretty effective tradition.)
Here's to stirring!
The sort of winter we had...
That's Mick on his way to work. Snowshoeing down the driveway to the car!
Fortunately, the driveway is now clear, the car is now parked close to the house, and the snowshoes are ready to be packed way.

Birthday boy!
The festivities began with the shiny sticker on an envelope that came in the mail from Grandpa and Grandma Mingle.
The big day itself started with a rather sizeable nap that took some doing to wake up from.
A little bit of time, not to mention a ball-cap, seemed to assist with the waking-up process.
Papa suggested the gift-giver assist Maynar in opening his gifts.
Gifts included a puzzle from Poppy and Grammy.
Maynar had an easier time taking the pieces out of the puzzle than he did replacing the pieces in the puzzle.
The puzzle pieces taste good too!
He has become quite accomplished at the xylophone.
He loved the photo card Grandma and Grandpa made.
By the time he got to the gift from Nancy and Steve, he had actually gotten the hang of this wrapping paper business!
Chinese buffet
Gram gifted us with two lunches at the Chinese buffet for Christmas. We had a great time! and it was Maynar's most "awake and alert" buffet experience! The first time he came to the buffet with us, he spent most of the time sleeping in his car seat on the bench next to us. This time, he sat in his own high-chair and quickly adapted to the routine of being continuously fed a variety of foods.
Buffets are so much fun!
Spoons are really fun too.
Buffets are exhausting though.
Straws are pretty fun (and quieter than spoons).
Maynar's first very own fortune cookie!
He got the hang of that one pretty quickly.
And boy, did he love the chocolate pudding!
