William's Activities

Out to lunch

The boys snoozing away

There seems to be a bear cub in William's cage

William's latest trick (climbing up onto his toys to try to get out of his cage)

Classic over-the-shoulder pose

Classic over-the-shoulder-with-indigestion pose

Another random collection

Trying to eat the phone (and redialing, obviously)

Enjoying some cereal for breakfast

And enjoying some cod liver oil (whatever floats your boat, kid)

Staring at the food he has just thrown on the floor, I assume

Out on a Valentine's date with Mama (to the UPS store)

Making silly faces eating corn

A(nother) jammies kind of day

A little drama at mealtime

Reading to himself...even mostly rightside up for a change!

Preparing to dismantle the Jane Austen shelf one more time

Orange and Blue (Jammies)

So pleased with himself for taking the bookshelf apart again

Wearing his UVA colors to the motherland (Brian's house!)

Enjoying banging on the window (sorry for the fingerprints, Brian!)

You can't tell because I did not competently photograph it and was taken by surprise, but he is standing up with his hands hovering and not resting on anything here (and is simply delighted by his accomplishment!)

So much fun playing at Brian's!  Without Brian, unfortunately.  Haha.

Overwhelmed by delight!

William can point (and loves raspberries)!

This is what happens when Donald has to work all weekend.  The combination of my cabin fever and an effort to keep him apprised of William's new tricks and adventures in eating leads to my complete inability to sit through a simple meal without taking 8,000 pictures.  Apologies in advance.

Things start off simply enough, casually enjoying some cottage cheese. 

Then William tries a bit of raspberry.

After he has exhausted his supply, he begins furiously pointing at the ones still in the colander.

Pointing and becoming increasingly desperate for another raspberry.

Then his mother taunts him with a raspberry, trying to get a better picture of the point.

Probably too blurry to be worth the meanness of dangling the raspberry in front of his face, but rest assured I did end up letting him have it (and others)

Showing off his messy hands

Hard at work

All bundled up and ready to go

Somebody found a roll of toilet paper!

And now he's trying to shove over the bookcase and/or get to that unrolled toilet paper that's now out of his reach.

Eleven Months Old!

Playdate

William plays at the fence with his little buddy Katherine

Katherine kicks back and enjoys a swing with a good book.

Big-headed and Proud

Staring Margaret down when they first met

Tomfoolery in the basement

Making large crania look good

Saddened by his new friend's impending departure.

William sits.

Pulled right up to the table like a person!

Reminiscing

Exhausted from spreading crumbs everywhere

William's got it all backwards

Sleeping in his high chair

And just wants to dance and play in his crib
