The Ballard Locks...

Finally!! It seems like months since we last saw the sun. We wanted to take advantage of it since it could be months until we see the sun again! So we went down to the Locks. This is such a cool area. You can watch the boats as they transfer from Puget sound into Lake Union, enjoy the gardens and see the salmon as they come in. This is definitely a must see if you come to Seattle. Gideon was fascinated by this place, he couldn't take his eyes off of the boats...or it could have been that he was just too cold to move! We were fooled into thinking that the sun meant it was warm...it wasn't! Nevertheless we had fun, and it was good to see the sun even though we didn't feel it too much.

As you can see Gideon is growing so fast! Every day he seems to change and I can't keep up with him. His new thing is singing. He has a rock voice and an angelic voice. The rocker comes out when I play my music for him. He has fallen in love with one of my CDs (he also has a favorite song). Whenever I play it he kicks his feet and belts out his rendition of the song (it's pretty cute)! But there is a time and place for everything, when its time to go to bed we sing lullabys together and he sounds like a little angel as he softly sings with me...ahhhhhhh.
