I'll Cheer You Up Daddy

Daddy has been very sick with the stomach flu. As Adam saw Daddy was taking a bath he was very adamant that he needed to join him. It did not take long until Adam was splashing and Daddy was smiling. We had been watching the Baby Signs DVD just prior to the bath. While Adam splashed we repeated the word "water" while doing the sign. Adam signed "water" back. This was his first recognizable time signing "water". If you have to be sick it is nice to have someone brighten your day. Well done, Adam. Such a sweet little boy.

Did You Take a Picture? or Last Minute

To keep on track with the goal of taking a picture a day, around bedtime the question is often asked "Did you take a picture of Adam today?".
Daddy and Adam had their picture taken together this evening professionally, but we decided at the last minute that we also wanted a picture taken with our camera. Tonight's picture was taken with 3 seconds to spare.

Wave Your Elephant Garlic

Adam and Mommy found a treasure at the farmer's market today. Mommy asked Adam if he wanted to smell the elephant garlic as she held it up to his nose. He giggled and giggled.

Play Hard Sleep Hard

After a long day of playing Adam was ready for sleep. He spent the day cruising all over the house. He is getting so fast. At one point he discovered the mop and was pushing and pulling it along the kitchen floor. He is trying to be a big boy. He even looks more grown up while he sleeps.

Chow Time, I'm Ready

Adam has discovered Minuet's food dish!

Time For A Change?

Congraduation

Rachel Moss graduated from high school today. We were able to celebrate with family, and attend her graduation. Congratulations, Rachel! We love you!

Bashful?

Adam has been trying out a bashful phase. When people talk to him, he turns toward Mommy or Daddy and snuggles right in.

Aunt Caitlin's Kitten

We went over to Purcellville tonight to see Burberry, the newest addition at Grandma and Grandpa's. Adam and the kitten bonded. Repeatedly they tried to grab each other. Adam found great entertainment in chasing Burberrry, and the dogs Sarah and Beauregard. A purr-fect ending to the day.

Awesome Girl

Emily is amazing!

Splash!

SPLASH! Adam has discovered the joys splashing.
We attended a picnic, for CompSci (the company Daddy works for) at Michaella's house today. We all enjoyed being with Daddy's co-workers in a casual setting. Four of the CompSci next generation were there. We have been blessed that Nathan works with a great group of people.
Adam enjoyed crawling after the cats, eating leaves, and socializing. We bought him new swimming trunks for the occasion. This was the first time we have had him in a swimming pool. At first he was pretty laid back about the new experience, then he discovered splashing. Sign us up for the next picnic!

In His Shoes

Adam got some big boy shoes today, his first pair of Nike's.


Daddy what are you looking at? You are supposed to be looking at the camera or me, Mommy is taking a picture.

Peaceful Angel

Why is it that sleeping babies remind us of angels?
