sandbox

Nolan got a sandbox for his 1st birthday, and he loves it. He was unsure at first, just like he was with the sand at the beach, but then he loved it. He asks to play in the sandbox all the time. When it was rainy he decided to play on the cover of the sandbox because I refused to open it.
He sprinkles the sand with his hands, fills up buckets, dumps the sand outside the sandbox, and also tries to imitate the things I do. His imitation skills are really improving.
Also, it has been a few weeks, but Nolan had his one year appointment on April 22. He was 21 and 1/2 pounds and 31 inches. That is the 30th percentile for weight and the 80th for height. He has reached all of his milestones right on time!
