Johnathan's observing and learning

I'm amazed all the time now how much Johnathan is growing up and becoming a big boy. Today he did the cutest thing. We were out in the side yard where the apple tree is, and he started picking up the bad apples, walking over to our neighbors (don't worry, we know them) garbage pail and tippie toeing up and throwing them in there! He was mimicking what he had seen us do a couple days ago. So cute! And he was helping too!
He's trying to run now. He still trips and falls a lot. But he sure does take off fast sometimes!
In the evening, we went to the park where there's a playground, an he LOVES the slide! He goes down it alone already. Of course there's a parent on each side. But we let him go down alone and he braces himself just fine. And he has the biggest smile on while doing it and then screams with joy once he's reached the bottom. He wanted to do it over and over today.
He's getting smart because he picks up the remote control and points it at the TV and pushed buttons. And now he picks up our keys and walks over to the door and tries to put it in the key hole! He knows where things go now! He's growing up way too fast! : ) We love him so much.
