The Peanut Goes to the Pumpkin Patch

7 months old!

Adventures in Solid Foods

His favorite part: banging on the tray

Alarmed by sweet potatoes

Displeased.

Peas were even more poorly received.

Refusing another bite

Attempting to escape

Gagging dramatically (similar to how I feel about peas!)

Seriously unhappy about peas

Fallingwater

Impulse stop at Fallingwater!

What better way to extend a long road trip with three sick people in the car?

Nature!

Architecture!

The photo opportunities really made us rethink our wardrobe choices for the day.

The Trip Home

Baby's first trip to Steak 'n Shake!  Haha.

Trying out the high chair

Getting into the spirit of things

Snuggling with Daddy and trying to convince him to stop for the night

Offering to help drive us to a hotel

Indiana, Part Three: The Photo Shoot

Obi Wan

Strategizing as to how much they will cooperate with the photo shoot

"Dial it down a notch, William."

Two happy (sick) babies, looking away from the camera!

They generally refused to smile (or make silly happy faces) at the same time.

See?

This was somewhat representative of the photo shoot in general.  William makes a vaguely happy face but looks in the wrong direction.  Meanwhile, Penelope is entirely unimpressed with our efforts to entertain.

Isabel subs in for Penelope.  No Rosie, due to her being a big girl off at school.

William eats Barack Obama's head, obviously.

Delighted with the toy he has stolen.

Isabel being a sweet big cousin

Now Isabel being a sweet big sister and cousin.

Ha!  Donald and/or Jane must have been doing something pretty funny here.

Penelope signals that she is done.

And Isabel comforts William by making sure he's got Barack Obama back.

Indiana, Part Two

William plays in his pillow fort, and Penelope's on the move

Looking like he stepped out of Star Trek with his Fever Bug on his head

Poor sick guy

But back to being happy, at least!

Trying out his new Fall attire

Very serious girl
