hodge podge

I've been trying to come up with a clever idea for a blog post, but given how very sleep-deprived I am it's been tough. After our trip to New Hampshire, Will came down with a cold and an ear infection, and our nights have never been the same. Basically, he sleeps like a newborn. As a result, I feel totally fried. But that hasn't stopped us from having fun.

At Wiggleworms, another baby brought a ukulele to class, which Will promptly stole. I post this picture not so much because Will has a musical talent (which I believe he does), but because he looks like such a little boy.



In other news, I'm pretty sure Will thinks he's a Boston terrier. His world revolves around Bean. When he's not going after Bean's food, he's going after one of her toys, and if he's not doing that, he's just going after Bean.




Also, Will has taken to walking Bean himself. The following picture, however, is deceiving. Will prefers to be held horizontally in Colin's arms while holding the leash while his parents sing the Hokey Pokey (really). It's quite a sight.



Finally, here is a video of Will taking a dip in the baby pool at my parent's house in Lake Forest. We've been savoring these unusually warm October days as we brace ourselves for what they're predicting to be another horrible Chicago winter.

It's wild to think that a year ago I was sitting on the couch on bed rest, browsing incredibly overpriced baby stuff and watching TLC baby shows over and over again, waiting to meet my little boy. Now he's a moving, grunting, amazing ten-month-old who is showing me the world all over again through his eyes. Life is good. Very, very good.
