Some other things William has been up to

Chewing on Pa's face

Spending a little time shirtless


Helping Daddy with his CLE hours


Covering himself in yogurt


Delighting in his jammies


Helping Mama and Daddy look for houses


Helping to clean up the house


And reading a ridiculous stack of books with Gam

A couple more tux pictures from Donald's phone

Oops, forgot about these!  But they're the only full-length shots we got:

Ready to go be charming


And/or chew on his outfit.

Costume Experimentation on the Big Night

William is a very confused lobster.


Trying to escape his pot.


The lobster costume wasn't really working for him, so we switched back to his judicial robes.


The point where he realized he'd forgotten to wear any clothes underneath his robe?


FaceTime with Grandma and Pa on Halloween




Very focused!

Justice Burke, presiding (over Halloween)

So, William was a Supreme Court Justice for Halloween.  No particular one, due to lack of resemblance...but I did think maybe I see a whiff of Breyer if you put glasses on him? 


All he wanted to do was suck his thumb--just like a real Justice!

Doing a little legal research.




He's so smart, he can read legal definitions upside down!


Calling the session to order. (I know, I know, the Justices don't have gavels.  Don't spoil my fun.)


Classic Justice maneuver


Justice Burke runs a pretty relaxed chambers.  He lets his clerks wear jeans!  And pick him up and snuggle with him.




Found a clock at the Halloween party! His favorite!


Watching the rain outside.


Flying Justice!



And, of course, his official portrait.  So serious!

Public Service Announcement


Don't forget to vote!!



Or you will force William to make this face...



And we wouldn't want that, would we?

Aunt Mary and Uncle Nick Get Married!

Preparation: Daddy brings in William's pants, fresh from the tailor (ridiculous!)

The only times I could take pictures were when I was holding neither my bouquet nor William.  
So prepare yourself for an onslaught of Daddy-holding-William pictures!  
(Apologies for the lack of subject diversity/low number of pictures of the lovely bride.)


One clandestine shot from the front pew


After the ceremony--Tuxedo Twins!


A little overwhelmed by all the attention.


It was hard (/impossible) to get William's tuxedo to sit right for pictures.


William refuses to cooperate during cocktail hour.

Things get a little more casual.



Best couple of the night! (After the bride and groom, obviously.)






Playing with his rattle.  Totally dignified wedding behavior.


Attempting to grab (and eat) his place card.  (Master William Burke! Teehee!)


Delighted with his formal bib.


Even more delighted to see the beautiful bride!


Overcome with emotion.


Dive-bombing the happy couple.


Daddy tries to pass on his chair-dancing skills to the next generation.


William thinks the whole thing is funny!


Beautiful flowers!


Excited to see Grandma!


When William's had a few too many, he fancies himself a lounge singer.


About to be escorted from the premises?


Refusing to go!


The next morning, ready for the breakfast and waiting in his holding cell. 


Trying his best to emulate the groomsmen with his purple argyle!
