Pictures...

...in no particular order, with no particular theme. Enjoy!

This one's from a few weeks back. He had just figured out how to grab his toes, but wanted his teething ring at the same time. Life is rough!


Tummy time is more fun when you have a friend.



Hamilton got promoted to his big boy stroller. Here he is ready for a walk (notice that he's holding on for dear life).

Inevitably, stoller rides end with a nap (once again, holding onto froggie for support).

Ready to Eat?

We have a doctor's appointment this Friday and one of the items to discuss is whether or not Hamilton is ready to eat. One of the main criteria is whether or not he's shown an interest in food.


What do you think?


(Disclaimer: I thought this was so funny that I had to video it, even without a tripod. Apologies for the quality.)

Hello World!

Although Hamilton entered the world on May 15, it's only recently that he became aware of that fact. It's been fun to watch him explore and see him realize that he can actually exert his will on the world around him.


This is a little trick we like to call "The Escape Artist." The first time he ever did this, he stopped about halfway down to give me a smirk that said, "Now what are you going to do?" (We then started to strap him in.) Note: You may want to turn the volume down--Hamilton expressing frustration is a little hard to hear.


Hamilton officially has rolling over now--and enjoys it so much that I wasn't able to grab the camera before he got started. (He can now go both ways, but still prefers going back-to-tummy.)


One evening, Freeman and I were sitting in our living room and all of the sudden we heard Hamilton's crib aquarium. Check it out...
