Sneaky boy

Houston, we have a thumb-sucker. He has been toying with the idea for quite some time, trying to decide which finger or combination o' fingers would do the trick. He had narrowed it down and is now a dedicated thumb-sucker. Now of course he won't let me take a picture of his new hobby. But I am determined!

He has also found his feet in the last few days. He never used to pay attention to his feet during diaper changes, but now he's hanging on to them and pulling on his socks. I have a feeling the sock-eating clothes dryer is about to gain a new accomplice who will scatter tiny socks throughout the house. It's a conspiracy, I tell you.

It's crazy how just a few months ago, I couldn't envision a time when he would really interact with us and his surroundings. When William was born, he was truly the cutest little lump of baby I had ever seen. But there wasn't much back and forth with him! Now he soaks it all in and loves it when we go someplace new. He sure enjoyed the toy store we went to today! The girl working at the store ooohed and aahed over how cute he is. And then she was so tactful as to ask me how much I weigh and how much I gained during pregnancy. Um, have we met?! Of course I'm not one to make waves, so I told her...and then came home to complain in my blog. :)

Some photos for your viewing pleasure.


"How dare you dress me up like this and NOT take me to the rodeo!"


Poor Mikey spent hours putting together the Exersaucer last week. It was way more trouble than one would think. Looks like William's bossing me around here.


The most beautiful eyes ever!


He would do anything to be able to suck/chew on the red and blue flower in the middle of the photo. There is just no way he can reach it!


Thanks for the adorable outfit, Jen!
