Where's John Paul ?



though the answer to that question was easy this time, it is not always so.  A very frequently called name is "John Paul"  oh John Paul"  where are you?  This little guy, is unbelievably curious, excited, excitable, and fast, very fast -- also coordinated for someone who is two and a few months old--or so it appears to me.  

Apparently he is left handed though not yet certain as has not completely settled hand preference nor has he selected favorite toys playing with all of them and building things with these large legos.  



He may take a stool off the porch around the corner to the key pad entry to the door to the stairwell and start punching keys as he sees the upstairs neighbors do or take one of the riding toys and be off.  Matt and Laura's efforts at boundaries are a work in progress.  ( probably always will be.  I have not shared that piece of good news with them )


 and goodness he is one loving little boy.  Note how he has tilted his head into my chest.  He does actively engage with others --- his grandaddy is one pushover for this kind of response.


 Adventure taking and in the park you had best be fast and not let your attention drift.


 As he and Isaac will be either together or gone separate directions rapidly in a hurry.


 John Paul, Luke, Laura and I went to a wholesalers shop area that is somewhat near where they live that supplies the many little stores, markets, streets vendors,  shops, and bulk purchasers  that are in the area.  It is row after row of speciality wholesale type shop one selling toothbrushes, another soft drinks, another candies, another shoes, various kinds of packaged or bulk foods and so on.


 and yes Laura drove right down that alley way after the white car did a 180 degree turn with lots of back and forward motions as the other motorized carts tried to squeeze through prior to completion of the turn -being very helpful to all concerned and expediting the process -- (not -- and sometimes I wonder just how anything gets done here )


 and here is John Paul about to start unloading the box that the clerk has loaded for Laura,  ( hence earning a chance to hear his name again).  I am holding Luke and  a camera.  Laura has been talking to the clerks, calling to John Paul as he moves around the store  and checking a list.  I assume when I am not here, Luke is in a backpack or one or both kids are at home with the helper.
