Play Area at Dallas Airport...

Feb 18, 2012 (Saturday)
Tully is 10 months old

With another early schedule for our flight home, we packed up the night before and were ready to fall out of bed and head to the airport today.  Leaving DC and connecting in Dallas we found a play area that Tully was able to enjoy during our layover.  The area was large and there were several children playing.  It was interesting to watch him and see how intrigued he was by the older children.

He went straight for the red car and then turned and looked at us!

...and soon pointed!
His baby sign language that he has learned
serves his purpose quite well since he can't talk.  Haa

Of course, Grammy put him in the car and he drove
really fast... just like Grammy!

He was quite excited,
but later was ready to move on to the next thing.

He crawled to a puzzle on the wall and began spinning the pieces.

Another child soon joined him and
 it was so nice to see that Tully was very sharing.

I guess he decided he should stand though to be on the
same playing level!

He eventually wandered over to the bridge...

...and without any hesitation

crawled right through the tunnel.

He scoped out a few of the other things there before we had to leave the play area.

I'm so glad he is eager to explore and learn.

I always said, "Ashley's spunk would take her places."  I feel the same way for him, the trick will be for him to learn what he can and cannot do with that spunk or rather what he should or should not do with it.  He is such a little corker right now.

He looks like such an innocent little boy sitting so still in his
seat as we waited for our flight... just puffing his little cheeks out.

...but within seconds he was crawling about!

...and trying to inch around the arm of the chair!

or he would stand...

but was quickly crawling "over" the arm!
There is no "just" sitting or standing, he has to be moving!

In fact, it was just easier at times for Grammy to just walk
with him and explore or look out the window.
At this particular moment, he was pretty interested
in the phone conversation this stranger was having.

He's a sweetheart and I love the opportunity to travel and spend time with him.  He is growing and learning so much during these early years.  It will be fun to watch and see where life takes him or where he takes his life!  One thing for sure, he will grow up knowing that Grammy Deb loves him very much!
