Greetings everyone! Summer is now in full bloom here in the UK. Everyone I talk to seems to complain about the weather and the news is full of stories about the "heat wave." The temperature has been in the 80s and while it certainly has been warm, I really wouldn't call it hot. After all, it is summertime.
Ben and I have been having a lot of picnics lately. It can get a bit stuffy in the house, but the shade of the park is always quite nice, even in the early afternoon. While I can't get him to eat pieces of fruit (only puree for me thanks!), I have discovered that he likes to gnaw on the cores. Sometimes I think he just wants to eat like a proper adult. He won't feed himself anything that isn't grain based. I used to think he just didn't like the texture of actual fruit and vegetables, but then I realized that he will eat them off of a fork or spoon. But I bet it is more of a case of laziness than proper table manners.
This picture is from a playground in Cambridge. Joe got home early the other day so we decided to drive to Cambridge for a trip to the mall and dinner at Chili's (something we have not done since Thanksgiving). Well, we were in for a surprise. All the stores in the mall close at 5:30 pm!! (Except on Wednesdays when they are open "late"...8 pm) We strolled to Chili's to find that it had gone out of business. I was so sad. I had been planning out my dinner for a while at that point. Plus, I was looking forward to an American family restaurant. Family dining just isn't something they do here like they do back home. So we found a Subway and wandered around aimlessly until we found this park. At least Ben had a good time. 
I had to put up at least one non-helmet picture. He had an ear infection last week so we had to take off his helmet for a few days. I forgot how cute he was!
