and more

I am so cute
A few more standing smiles
So much work scuttling across the floor
Which way did she go??
Have you read this one yet mom?
I LOVE READING!!!
Let me contemplate the football..
These are my spoons!! I make more noise when I am playing with them than I actually make with the spoons but I entertain mom and dad pretty well.

And more

A view of the lake at sunset one night. Looking towards Halifax from the living room.
Wanna play with the music sticks too??
Now I will demonstrate the finer points of crawling...
Don't mock me!!! This crawling stuff is harder to master than it looks - you all have had decades to work on it.
You want me to do what with the balls??? I thought they were for chewing on!! Why would I throw them in the air?
This juggling takes some serious thought

A few more...

A seriously cute jumper!!
Another happy jumping boy and his frog prince - he always goes for the purple foot (graple foot)
William wants to share his toy with you...
And sharing with baby tad...
Gotta love those alpha bits!!


Gotta love these apple bits!!

Happy Kid

Smiling at mommy though the window. The photo didn't turn out as well as we were hoping but you should have seen the smiles on his face when mommy was outside. Almost as good as watching a puppy. Good thing we have the screens on the outside of the glass - William bangs up a storm when he gets excited.
William getting ready for his bath came out to check out how the painting was progressing and spied the new roller sitting on the credenza. Looks like a good bath toy to me!!
Doing his best to get those little razor baby teeth into the apple
Not too sure what to make of things when he breaks through the skin
Apples are a lot easier to eat when mommy takes the skin off and cuts them in to bite sized peices for me.


William is determined to get to the kitty!!! He folded himself and lay his head down to get closer - it didn't help that Vesta was taunting him with her tail!!

On the Ladder

Daddy's little helper on the ladder - this is pretty cool guys!!!
I can help mom!! I am taller than dad right now!

Our little painter helper offering to do his best with the green painter's tape - we aren't sure if the teeth marks will make a difference in the function of the tape...

Painting

William always likes being in the middle of things - even when it is the middle of the living room with all the furniture and toys from two rooms pushed in around him. Dad is in the background working on the first coat of paint around the fireplace enclosure.

Haa haa haa, I got a hold of daddy's strength training doo dads. Watch out arnold!!
Strength training with mommy
Jumping with the frog prince - his favourite jumping partner lately
Ok mom, this is the best GQ look I can give you.
Another picture mom???!!!
There's a doggy out there mom, have you seen her???
Hugging mommy after a feed.

Standing up on mommy and daddy's bed - gotta love this grill work!!

Cuteness

Another shot of our favourite little jumper. He might be having a good time here...
Genetics... William was given a pile of grape quarters and assembled them into piles of two. Just like mommy with her wierd eating couplets, so William will carry on the tradition. I can't wait to see what he does with Great-Grandpa's breakfast. Daddy is scared.
Red grapes are a close second to broccoli
If you look really closely you can see William's best friend enjoying some of the bear blanket just to the left of him in the picture. Under the blanket is Pooh from christmas - which has become Vesta's favourite place to soak up some rays or just relax. He didn't realize she was there (kitty camoflage) and happily played beside her for a good 10 minutes before she lifted her head at the wrong time and kitty became the centre of his attention.
A-ha...my evil plan is coming together...

More cuteness

Trying to make bunny and puppy best friends - fast. Just bang them together like so...
Reaching out for mommy. This little man is flexible
Broccoli truly is the greatest treat going. No matter what else is going on there is always room (and time) for broccoli - move over Jello, this may become the all-time best snack. Who says you have to give kids sweets!
Now how is that for a happy face!! It is hard to stay tired/mad/frustrated/exhausted when every once in a while he does something like this. And this was after he had decided to forego the nap this morning and he and mommy had run a couple of errands.
Trying to crawl takes a lot of concentration. And the tongue must stick out just so, with a little curl...

The goofiest gus you have ever seen!!
