Whole Foods Austin

Another pleasant discovery awhile back was the amazing Whole Foods Flagship Store on Lamar and 6th St. Downtown.

Miles of cheese and chocolate!

I also learned their Global Headquarters are there as well as the sometimes relatively unknown rooftop park they have open to the public. We visited again on a nice, but windy March day to enjoy some good food and a little playscape for Max. He wasn't as interested in the slides and climbing, but sat and enjoyed digging in the mulch.

Here's a funny video of Max learning about Grackles, another critter of Austin that's somewhat of a pest here...

Monkey Max must Climb!

Fun Baby Toy Endorsement Time!

We had to find something for Max to climb on ... he's climbing boxes of books, drawers, bookshelves, coffee tables ... everything!

I did some researching on the best indoor playset for toddlers and settled on this simple little slide and climb from Little Tikes. We have some nice foam floor playmats that take up more than half the livingroom, so there's plenty of safe play space for Max to climb on his new toy.

April Fools Day @ the Park

Max is walking pretty well now, at 13 months. We've started our big neighborhood Park exploration project. This was at Ramsey Park, in the Rosedale neighborhood of Austin.
