- Wally snubs Chris: he just won't throw to her...nutty

- Wally and Daddy painting with water colors
This was his first water color painting, but he mostly likes mixing colors in the water. We still have this little gem. Nice blurbs of soft color. Wally has often pointed to it and stated with pride that he and Daddy did it. - Mommy and Wally reading before bedtime
Daddy made the spectacles from the bristle blocks Emily gave us for his birthday - Our first snow family
Wally finally started to enjoy the snow and I made the most of it I started making these little snow people. He helped me make hats from leaves. Here he is bringing a stick to add. I used pistachio shells for the noses, giving them a muppet-like appearance and chive pods for hair. Wally kept wanting to make the butts bigger...nutty. - Admiring our handiwork
Wally really enjoyed our little snow family - Wally addresses his new snow family
- Wally and Mommy plant some cottage pinks.
Wally went with me to Bayer to buy many of the plants for the garden and the pots this year. I asked him if he wanted to help and he did a pretty good job. We have enjoyed watching his pinks bloom all summer. - 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!
