A small sampling of things William chewed on in Huntsville

His first move when I put him in his Huntsville cage

Trying the lower bar

Trying to break his teeth on the coffee table

Giving his new piggy bank a sample

Eating Daddy's bug light

And seeing if he likes the Chewbeads more when they're around Daddy's neck than when they're around Mama's

Chewing on his safari truck before it's even out of the packaging

Enjoying a giraffe hoof

And a photo album

Even giving Penelope's finger a try

Cardboard sock packaging

And of course, the hotel crib had to be sampled

Jealous Babies

Both babies would like Granddaddy to hold them, please.  

But would prefer not to look at the camera at the same time

They finally do, and I get a blurry picture! (William still has his boo-boo from a run-in with the coffee table.)

Then later, Penelope spies another baby in her spot in Uncle Donald's arms

And politely asks that he rectify the situation

Compromise! (Pointing out "Deh-deh")

Christmas!

Trying out for the role of Baby Jesus with his kitchen table halo

Opening his piggy bank before the crowds arrive

The four most overwhelmed participants in the Christmas festivities

Things got a little crazy, so William had to disrobe.

Penelope deploys her Puss in Boots eyes

Playing with her Uncle Donald

Shopping for presents after the explosion

Unwinding with Aunt Christina

Laughing at silly Uncle Jackson

Another Visit with Iris and Company!

Ignoring each other.  Classic.

Videochatting with Rachael

Intrigued babies!

Rachael waves goodbye

Iris looks like she's afraid I'm going to steal her toy

Trying to compare heights, but they wouldn't really cooperate

Playing with Emily is so much fun!

Partially electronic high school reunion!

I should dig up a picture of us from elementary school to compare here.  Ha!

Meeting the Athas and the Leiths

Meeting his grandgodmother Janet

And bonding with Elaine

Spending quality time with Jenna (and his new pair of socks)

Snuggles!

Penelope and Ian join the party

Teasing Maegan with her beads

William ruins a perfectly good photo op by refusing to look at the camera

Holiday Travels and Celebration

Being wheeled through the Atlanta airport in his back-up PJs (ahem).

Concerned about going out in the cold in such a light outfit

But never fear! We had packed his bear suit!

Snoozing (while keeping a firm grasp on his rattle).

Celebrating Jack and Christina (and the holiday season!) at breakfast.

The smallest party guest (depending on how you measure) decides she would like the tallest party guest to escort her around

William is delighted by the man of the hour!
