Family Portrait

Kissing

A lot of girls like to kiss me. Seriously. I must be pretty cool.

I love the Hannulas. Happy new town, my friends!

Dad and I really get along!

He's very funny, my dad.




Note: When thinking, or doing something new, it's important to stick your tongue out. I don't know why though.

In Jail

Sometimes you have to pretend like you are in jail to make all the adults laugh. They do though. It's pretty awesome. Also, for some reason they think that having climbed this high up the stairs I'm doing something special. . . that's nothing. . . just watch me try to go down them - now that's something really spiffy!

Climbing Stairs - GRRRR!!!

William learned to climb stairs at Auntie Joycey's a couple weeks ago!

Juice!

William learned to give five a couple of days ago. . . or as Mrs. Carlino would say - "JUICE!"

Grandparents Murphy and William!

Okay, one more!

More Friday after Thanksgiving Photos

William's Bruise

The other thing that is official is we officially owe the Aliso Viejo firefighters some cookies. William, after falling backwards with a chair crashing on the bridge of his nose decided to cry so hard that he stopped breathing, passed out, scared us new parents so badly that we called 911 and only after we had done so did he wake up completely unharmed except for a rather bad bruise and a shocked manner that there were these really cool firefighters in our house. He's fine. We're fine (although Mike and I didn't sleep great for a couple of days). . . :)

Friday after Thanksgiving

It's official - it's now going to be a tradition - the Friday after Thanksgiving when we're in California will be spent with mom and dad and Gary and Cheryl - we had so much fun together!

Meeting Mark Crozier

Catching Moths Together

Yup. Mike's teaching Will to catch moths. It's hard when you don't have complete control over your fine motor skills.

Handle

Please note that "Handle" comes in many colors, available to coordinate with your baby's outfits. Overstock of product has prompted a huge sale, and "Handle" is now as affordable as it ever will be!

Bath Time Again!

Will wiggles so much now - in the tub he is crawling and standing and trying to get places (which makes me sooo nervous and tired) that we decided to have bath time in the kitchen sink! Now he can play for a longer time and splash and have a good old time while I stand up and keep him safe! :)

Walk in the Stroller

When Will and I walk in the stroller we use MiMa Knott's blankie to wrap ourselves in to stay warm. Plus this cold morning he also wore his cool jacket - look how old he looks!

Roaring Like a Lion

So we always ask William "What sound does a lion make?" and then we squish up our noses (don't ask me why, but both Mike and I do that), and ROAR as loud as we can. William loves it. It always makes him smile, and sometimes he even bursts into fits of giggles over it. Well, today we finally realized that when he squishes his nose like in this picture, he's trying to roar like us! It's hilarious because he's been doing it for days and both Mike and I were wondering "what the heck is UP with this boy" and here he is imitating us.
