Stairs

So, I know the diaper is a little much, but I swear he was playing in the pool. Anyways, Erik has decided that he is brave enough to go down stairs by himself. And no, that is not how he got the gash in his forehead. That is just the eternal bruise/cut/bump that will be present until he is five. The other picture was just too cute to not include!

Papa Joyner

Erik and I had a great time visiting with Papa Joyner in Mission Viejo. Papa let Erik turn on all the fans in his house, he taught the boy how to turn the water faucet on, he put on a concert for us with his friend Vic, and he even took us to the beach to let Erik feel the ocean on his toes. We had a great time and even now Erik will smile and say "papa" when he hears Papa Joyner's voice.
