Do you have the time?

My friend Lindy was over the other day, and we were talking about the different "times" that Adam can have during a day. So I thought I'd blog about it. There's music time, which consists of this


(he actually reaches up on his tip-toes and plays the notes from here, but he won't let me get a shot of it) which turns into this


He alternates between banging as hard as he can up and down the keyboard and playing softly with each little finger, as he watches me do. I usually play one-handed while he does this, and then he'll flip through the pages and we start a new song. It's really fun.
There is also scripture time, which is where I read aloud to him, and he always listens quietly when I do this. At no other time will he sit still or be quiet while I read to him. You can't tell me babies don't understand the Spirit.
There are mealtimes, and singing times, and (yea) naptimes, and (unfortunately) bedtimes. Some days we go on walks, some days we dance around to silly music, some days we clean the house (notice I did not say "every day"). But my favorite time of all has to be..... Playtime!
It is so much fun to watch him discover and play with his toys, the furniture, whatever was left out that I have to go take away from him... he's always doing something! He likes to sit on his knees and play, which is really cute. Here he is collecting nuks (pacifiers).


He likes to take his toys out of the basket one by one


and put them up on various chairs or even the couch.


And of course, no day is complete without the loud (and I mean LOUD) "AAAAAAHHHH" that he loves to say.


Sometimes I just look at his tiny little self and think, how on earth can he be that loud?! But he is, and that is one of my favorite things about him. He is going to go places, and by golly, the world is going to know about it.
And I just realized that he looks almost sad in some of these pictures... it's because if I take pictures in the morning, he's scrambling to get the camera and I get shots like this


and if I take them in the afternoon, he's a little tired and usually wants his nuk. So what's a mom to do?
Anyway, that's my little spiel on Adam's Times.
