Beads, beads, and more beads!

This picture was taken in July. Over the past few months, he has developed "favorite objects" that he seems to love and plays with everyday. In late June and early July, it was these mardi gras beads that I picked up at the Dollar Tree. Everywhere he went, he carried these beads... in the car, in the bathtub, in the high chair, and I made sure I never left home without a few strands. Since then, we've moved on to a little toy rubber chicken, a musical phone toy, and now he usually chooses a few favorite books over everything else (which I  think is awesome!).
