he prefers to cuddle the couch

He set himself up on the couch, with a pillow, comfortable as can be.  He's quite pleased with himself.

 And a rumor confirmed:

What would your Olympics event be?

Baby's would be 1 Meter Cushion event.

Kooky kid.  He's been doing this for at least 10 monutes.

The big One.

He started out looking like this:

And today he looks like this:

A much happier picture, right?

Family came to town, my parents, two of my sisters, and of Baby's cousins. Also my brother and his family, and Andrew's mom, and brother with his family.  Baby had such a good time playing with the big kids, and they seemed to have a good time with him, too.  There was certainly a lot of laughing, and screaming, and jumping, and running.  Happy kids all around.  

Andrew turned 40.  A big milestone.  It would be fun to see his first birthday picture, and see how much he's changed over the years.  The big celebration really comes in September/October with a trip to the east coast to see friends and family, and the leaves changing (hopefully).  

It's been a crazy, tiring, wondrous year.  Happy birthday to both my guys.
