Baby Bjorn Now!

I used to be small in this!

Diane's Last Sunday in Pasadena

:(

Beauty Sleep.

Don't think I need to comment here.

Dada came home!

Dada came home from Ohio today! When he got me out og my crib I just cuddled with him for a long time.

Spinach Everywhere

I thought babies weren't supposed to like their veggies - not Will - he's crazy about spinach. Crazy. He likes to eat it, and smear it all over his face.

8 Months Old!

Okay, for those of you keeping tabs, this was actually taken, well, November 2nd. . . but I hadn't gotten around to taking the 8 month picture yet, so there we go. Now I have.

Hi to Ohio Peeps!

Just a Note

I just want to post for the record how much I enjoy being William's mother (I know, I know, schmalty, sappy stuff like this should be left in the confines of our hearts - but I can't resist). He is a joy to be with: funny, learning new things daily, keeping me on my toes all day, and in general convincing me that eight months old is my favorite baby age so far.

Handle

Dear Potential Customer,

Please note the new "Handle" for babies is on the market this fall. This handy device provides a convenient grip for all your baby-wrangling needs: from diaper changes to bathtimes, from installing the baby in the car seat to the small outings on which it's easier to take baby as one would a purse.

"Handle" comes in many decorative colors, including this great shade of purple. Installation is easy - simply give "Handle" to baby who will instinctively stick it in their mouth, and you are done.

Sincerely,
Makers of the "Handle"

Fine Print: "Handle" is not in any way meant to replace other proven baby-wrangling techniques such as "holding baby safely," "buckling baby into car seat," or "making certain baby doesn't flip over on changing table."

Reading With Dad

Drinking from a Cup

I love it when Dad shares his water with me. I just recently learned how to actually swallow it (and make a satisfied sounding "ah" after).

To my #1 Fan: Great-Grandma Francesca!

Dear G.G. Francesca,

Mama told me today that you check out my pictures all the time, and like seeing new ones of me. I don't blame you. I am cute and interesting, it's true. I would like to thank you for being my number one fan. I can't wait until I get to see you again! I will give you kisses and hugs then. Attached is a picture of me for you and you alone.

All my love,
William

Ashley and I

There's this girl Ashley who really likes me. She says "give me kisses" and I lean my head in for them. She kisses me a lot. I must be quite a guy.

Dad was in charge of me.

I had to take a bath, mom was drawing it, and daddy was in charge of me. So he stuck me in the dirty laundry basket. Did I stink? Was he trying to say something?

Indians!

Seriously. The year I'm born the Indians go to the playoffs, how cool is that?

Go Browns!

Thanks Uncle Matt and Aunt Rachel for the cool warm-up suit!

Plums Again

Learning how to eat finger foods with a very sour plum that kept making his lips pucker.
