Sit, Auggie!

Video of him playing in his wagon with Mom in our yard. Sorry I'm a dork at the end, I didn't want to take the time to edit it down.

AJW/Jack's Birthday Celebration! 5-8-2010

Abraham's actual birthday:

Hearing his Happy Birthday song from Grandma Kate & Grandpa Norm

Our very talented babysitter, Caroline, painted this for him as a surprise!! It's actually a portrait of him in his aviator hat from Auntie Anne. He LOVES Caroline, and I think the feeling is mutual.

Some of our guests having fun!

Abraham LOVES teeth, too bad it's annoying when someone puts their finger in your mouth! Raj is a good sport & plays along.

Our neighbor girls pose with him as he eats lunch.

Time for cake!
Thanks to deceptively delicious, they are made with prunes and butternut squash. Abraham's has carrot/cream cheese frosting.

Delicious!
His actions and cake reflect that a part of "Bacon" lives on!

Although he was stripped before the cake, it still proved tricky to clean him up well, so we took a speedy bath.
(There are still bits of chocolate cake and orange frosting in that bathroom and I have cleaned it twice since then!

He's not big on laying down for a rinse.Back to the party with our friends! Mommy's friends Whitney and Michelle (A's God Mother) look on.

Getting Old - The Hammer at 366 days

Cali trip 3/31-4/13 2010

First Stop: Templeton to stay with Grandpa John and Grandma Laural

Grandpa bought me a sweet foam car and my transportation jammies are the perfect fashion statement for a photo op!

Kelsey kept us in line like the sheep we are

are the freckles in our eyes aligned?
The next croc hunter!

One of Abraham's buddies (who is almost 2 months YOUNGER) has a handle on the walking situation as long as he has something to hold onto. Here he is putting those skills to work and having fun. I was laughing so hard... I think Abraham is going to be into speedy transportation!

Fun with Lala & Papa

Lala & Papa's first visit to the Memphis Zoo!

We heard the keeper chat about the giraffes first. He says he loves them but they are "dumber than a bag of hammers"! They also have a very short life expectancy-about 25 years b/c their hearts wear out from having to pump their blood hard enough to get up to their heads and puny brains.
