- Wally in his rocker
First time Wally pulled the rocker out and climbed in to watch a movie Wally had played around with the rocker (which had been Jerry's) before, but recently has shown a lot of interest in it, perhaps b/c we brought Ggma's rocker into the house. At any rate, he pulled it up to the computer and climbed in to watch a movie and has done so several times now. - First successful attempt to climb into the crib
But he makes no attempt to climb out without assistance The gate is down, and he climbed in on his own initiative. Not gracefully, mind you. He got his leg up and went over, landing with his head at a right angle to the rest of him...not an easy thing for mom to watch. But he was thrilled with his new trick and it predictably became a game. However, he needs help getting out, or, rather, jumping out. He climbs up on the rail with me holding his hands and then jumps to the floor–great fun! - Wally on his way into the crib...what technique!
Wally climbs into the crib when the gate is lower Oh, and those pajamas, they glow in the dark! Wally picked them out at Costco. - Wally and friends
The dogs and Dutch snuggle up to Wally to watch an afternoon flick How sweet is this! It wasn't until after Wally turned two that he started to be interested in the pets. Now he greets them, kisses them on the head, puts his head down on their backs, apologizes to them if he should, and laughs about their antics. - Daddy and Wally breakfasting before going to Grandpa's birthday brunch
Looking sharp for Cafe Ventana downtown They were looking sharp for the celebration at Cafe Ventana near the Fox. Chris and I went to the art fair since it was Mother's Day weekend. We dined on art, they on freshly made beignets that they watched being made through a window in the floor. One of the bakers made silly faces at Wally much to his delight. - Wally's newly minted silly smile
They still look great! - How many ways can a little suitcase be enjoyed?
Wally tests out the little suitcase from GGma's I spotted this little gem as Janice was going through her mother's things. I thought it would be perfect for packing Wally for overnights with Max... and it is. It also reminded me of my little green suitcase that I packed once when I decided to run away. (I ultimately rejected the plan as unfeasible.) I think every child should have their own special "case", as Wally calls it. - Improvements to "my case"
Wally adds Laura's super soft snuggle sack for added comfort So far, Wally is the only one who loves Laura's hand-made snuggle sack. Yogi won't go in it and Priscilla doesn't bury herself. I thought Dutch might be coaxed into it, but was dead wrong. Wally loves how soft it is and has even tried climbing into it. I think we have forthcoming photos of this. - Wally sports a robot mouth (1970s dial) while sitting in his case
What a kid moment - Dutch tries to get in on the fun
Dutch tries to slip into Wally's case - Wally and Mommy check out the masticated carrot in his mouth...so funny!
Wally was totally amused to view the contents of his mouth He was giggling so much that I was concerned he might choke...nutty. - Let's really study that carrot, shall we?

I don't remember how or why this happened.
