Happy Halloween

William seemed to be intrigued by the whole Halloween situation, or at the very least curious about why there were so many people coming up to talk to us. I think when he learns about candy he'll understand why. Granted, then he won't understand why we would ever give it away...

Happy six months!

We celebrated William's half birthday with half a cake and pumpkin painting!

Toe grabbing!

William's latest trick is grabbing his toes. He's getting really good at it!

All the soft things

William seems to like all the warmth around him. His warm onesie, the soft boppie cover, and the comforting blanket.

Look, we match!

We got matching shirts/onesie, thanks to Gigi. There has much discussion about the shirt. Justin believes the advanced technology behind the robot would give it an edge. Jessica thinks the ferocity of the T-Rex would give it an edge. William thinks the whole argument is a bit childish. Shirts by Gnome Enterprise.

Approaching 6 months

For those of you wondering, "why do parents always talk about they're children in terms of months old?" With so many toys and clothes geared specifically towards certain ages, you have to if you want to get full use out of everything. With six months less than a week away, we've just retired the last of the three month old outfits, and we've got all the six and nine month cloths out. We've also started breaking out some new toys for William. Here's William playing with a gift we got from Justin's old boss, Alison.

Tickle Time + Tummy Time = Fun Time!

Nothing seems quite as happy as a baby's laugh!

Apple picking and pumpkin patch

Here are some photos from our recent trip to the orchard.

What are you lookin' at?

Here's William hanging out on the front porch, looking skeptically at the picture-taker.

Gigi's D.C. Visit

 These are photos from Gigi's September visit to D.C.

Hanging out on the Mall.

Maybe all that cuteness is what shut the government down for so long!

Visit to the local garden.

Kennedy Center Visit

 More shots for William's first live concert at the Kennedy Center.

Overall he did very well, although he didn't seem too into the music.

 

Don't look at me like I'm sleepy. I'm NOT sleepy.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz...

Staying cool

Just a couple of cool dudes, going on a walk.

Making friends

William has been staying busy, making lots of friends. Some of them are complete strangers and some friends he didn't even know he had, like our college friends Vivek and Amy.

Adorable

You will find this photo in the dictionary next to the definition of adorable. If it's not, then maybe consider investing in a newer dictionary.

Molly time!

William had some quality time with his favorite aunt today!

More Peek-a-boo!

Ever wish you could watch William playing peek-a-boo forever? Well now you can!

Random Canon Photos

In an effort to continue with daily updates, we do most of our posting via iPhone. But that doesn't mean we're not getting shots with our DSLR as well. We just like to take some time to process those photos a little before posting them. Here are a couple of those shots from the past month (more to come!):

Looks like someone's ready for their hot dog!

Sign should say: Warning, whatever you do a baby is watching!
