Burke is quite the Koala bear hugging us back or latching on when he is held. He will even act shy when someone says hello by turning into whoever is holding him, while simultaneously smiling in return.

We spend a lot of time on the floor.
Grandma Karyl came to visit and get a Burke fix. She noticed his ability to take a toy when offered one with coordinated hands that immediately bring the toy to his open mouth.
Saturday while we waited for some storms to clear the four of us went to Olathe to see Dan's club's new plane. The club's other Cessna 150 plane was totalled back in April with a bad hail storm. Dan has been working hard to find a new club plane.
Burke's first exposure to a real airplane, other than all the airplanes in his room and on his clothes.
Dan gave Burke a lesson of all the plane parts.
Burke is already an aviation enthusiast, holding onto his first yoke at five months old. I think he's got the hang of it don't you?
A proud Dan loved sharing his passion with his mom and son.
We then drove to Powell Gardens, east of Lee's Summit- an hour drive southeast from Shawnee.
After lots of car time, Burke was lubed up with sunscreen and given a prime view of the garden from Dan's chest. Gotta love the Baby Bjorn.
They had an edible, organic garden. This cabbage was just beautiful. Sorry, no taste testers allowed.
A beautiful water garden. Starting to get hot....
A silly monkey citing in a banana plant
I think the heat had gotten to us. We started seeing Dinosaurs and Dan even tried to steal one of the eggs. Bold move.
On the way home, Burke had had enough. I spent a good 30 minutes entertaining him. This was just one of many attempts to calm an antsy Burke.
His love of his rubbery monkey toys revealed that he has started teething this week. Bring on the teething rings and orajel. Don't let Burke get ahold of your finger, he does bite. His little jaws are strong.
We have a funny bottle that has a stuffed lion animal around it. Burke will pet the lion's mane while he stares the lion in the face and eats furiousluy. Pretty stinking adorable. Take that Lion. Burke is NOT afraid of you.
Our friend Cheryll handmade these little blankets for Burke. He loves sucking on them and petting them. He however does not like pacifiers which we are totally fine with.
Just a snapshot of Burke and I in our favorite snuggle chair before I am off to work.
Burke J Croft of the microphone, check it!
Awwww! Teething rings are a newfound friend this week for our little dinosaur. Relief!
