pink eye for the little guy

protesting pink

..it's been a long day of whining, moaning, and straight out whaling.

dreamland

rowan has been laughing in his sleep lately...


although he hasn't been able to tell us what he's dreaming about yet, i'm guessing it has something to with a head-butting incident from late october. (action shots, below)

uncle punchy was messing with me and put my funny hat (from the fraleys) on me when i was alseep.

sleeping..sleeping...

whaammm..

revenge.

update

> I'm very pleased to, finally, be finished with all my course work (!) ...now I'm free to focus my attention on more important matters...(see below)

> Dave is head-high in the middle of wrestling season and grading finals...so, we won't be hearing from him for another month.

>and, well, R.E. is doing something new everytime we turn around.

Here's a glimpse of his musings today...

I LOVE SOYSAUCE!


...or do i?

(no. he didn't really drink soy sauce, but close...prune juice.
he would just die if he knew i was putting this on the worldwide web..but, we had to give him prune juice because two tablespoons of rice cereal plugged him up for a week! poor little fella'...)
as you might be able to tell from the expression on his face, he sort of has a love-hate relationship with prune j...he makes a disgusted look when he tastes it, then grabs for more.


i wonder how much t.v. baby einstein used to watch?



something i learned from listening to NPR: my daddy shared his birthday with this fancy guy yesterday...

bath time

new pictures

(see 'first christmas' post for more family pictures)


okay. how does this game work, again?

i think i'd rather chew on it



i love my new bumbo seat. it fits like a...
...tight rubber band, cutting off circulation to my legs.

dad and me (in my fancy aviator's hat from aunt holly)

wake up, dad! i want to play!

some of my new interests

reading menus...or anything else that vaguely resembles a book. I LOVE books. In fact, mom and dad had to stop reading me books before bed because I get too worked up over them.
