Some Firsts

First Thanksgiving

I thought he would be more excited about the food.  Perhaps it's because he is Panamanian, but he was all, "Meh, these sweet potatoes taste weird. What's the big whoop." 

"Eeh, no thanks, Oma, got any O's?"

Helping Plant Some Seeds

The Watering is the Best Part

By the way, that is a tie dyed cloth diaper he has on. The yellow is not pee.

I love this picture.
 It really sums up our little man.  He has climbed on top of some precariously placed rocks, diaper barely on, in pursuit of exploration,
No help needed thankyouverymuch.  

First Bike Ride

Nice no pants and socks look, buddy

Loves the helmet

"Please, whatever this is, just take it off."

"Oh, huh, it's not that bad.  It's pretty cool. . . on the floor"

Foggy Morning

First Steps

On December 4th (I wrote it down because someday I am going to make a baby book!) Elwood took his first steps.  They were these little rapid fire steps, four or five in a row, completely unassisted.  Conor and I sat on the floor and passed him back and forth between us, literally watching our baby become a little boy.  The three of us could not have been more proud.  Since then Woody's walking has progressed from cautious steps here and there to a unwavering determination to walk everywhere, no matter how many times he falls along the way.  His little stagger meandering around is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen.  Videos to come soon! 

He doesn't have any sense of self preservation.
  He would walk right into the ocean up over his head if we let him.
