More Eating!

Will's look here seems to be "I can't believe I ate the whole jar!!"


ZOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Why So Sad, Will?

"Hey, Anabelle. Anabelle. Anabelle!"


"You said I could play with the Legos twenty minutes ago! Isn't it my turn yet?"


"OK, fine! If you're going to pretend you can't hear me, I'll play with this instead!"

Jumping for Joy

These pictures are a couple weeks old (note xmas tree in background) but still cute. Will is really enjoying his Jumpster!


"OK, I'm all strapped in and ready to go!"


"LIFTOFF!!!"

(And, yes, we did raise it up more so Will could bounce on the tips of his toes better.)

Great Idea, Mommy

No more worrying about putting the wrong kid in the wrong room!

Reading with Mommy

"This book is not making any sense to me at all!"


"Do you have anything else to read?"


"OK, I finished all those. Where can I find some more?"

Six Month Stats

Length: 26 inches
Weight: 20 lbs, 4 oz

I knew there was no way I could beat Anabelle's stats for length at six months, so I focussed on beating her weight. Whoo-hoo! Now I just need to help Mom and Dad find better euphemisms for 'fat.' 'Stocky' is OK, but all the other ones sound so unpleasant. Maybe 'beefy'? Or 'husky'? Perhaps I should start a poll. Any suggestions?

Corrupting My Kids With Comics: Superhero Edition

"Hmm, this looks interesting. Such a colorful outfit!"


"Wow, the story is so exciting, it's like the action jumps off the page at you!!"

Little Help Here?

"I don't know what this green thing is, but I'm utterly fascinated by it!"


"Uh oh, that green thing was slipperier than I thought. Could you get that for me, Sis? Sis?? Hello, Sis????"

Afternoon Activities

With the weather so cold, Will has been forced to stay indoors. Here are some of the ways he passes the time:


"My tough guy pose!"


"My sad guy look."


"Anyone for a game of croquet?"


"Anyone want to try one of my rainbow donuts? I just made them!"

Cute Closeups

More pictures of Will eating. What can I say? He's a cutie when he's stuffing his face with food!

Entranced By The Dog

Will visited Nonnie and Papa last weekend and was completely enthralled with Basil:


"What is he doing now? Is he rolling over? I want to see him roll over again!"


"Is he going to do any more tricks? Is he all done?"


"Well, if he's taking a break, I guess I can play with my toys again. You've sure got some fun stuff, Nonnie and Papa!"


"WHOA! DID YOU SEE THAT?? BASIL JUST DID A BACKFLIP!!!"

While The Cat's Away

"This is great, Dad! Thanks for letting me play in Anabelle's room while she's at day care!"


"But would it kill you to turn up the heat a little bit?"


"Sure, the hood keeps my ears warm..."


"...but it makes my cheeks look super-cubby, doesn't it?"

Carrots with an Extra Serving of Sisterly Love

Another feeding round, but this time Anabelle stepped in to help:


"Eat your carrots, Will -- they're good for you!"


"No dessert until you finish your veggies!!"


"Open your mouth wide like this! Wider! WIIIIIIDER!"


"Oh, man. Am I ever full."


"I mean it, Sis. I can't eat another bite!"


"I said ONE MORE BITE!"

Will's Fashion Forecast For 2008

"Put on a nice flannel shirt and some overalls..."


"Give your hair a tussled, windblown look..."


"And the ladies will be falling all over you! They just can't resist that earthy 'farmer' look!"


"Huh??? What do you mean she's my cousin?!?!?!"

Already Having To Do Everything Himself

"More water, Dad -- I'm thirsty!"


"Here, let me help you with that spoon, Dad!"


"Uh... so what do I do with this again?"


"Here, Mom, let me help you -- I learned how this works with Dad earlier today!"

Puppet Show

"Can you say something for the audience, Will?"


"This had better not be one of those Punch and Judy type shows!"


"What are you doing, Anabelle?"

Six Months Old

Wow, half a year old already!


No wonder you look so big, Will!


"Hey, Dad, there's a lot of grey hair back here!"
