Toothy Surprise!

Look what I came home to this weekend!!!!

Johnny B. has some chompers!!!

Priceless

Bumming a ride from an acquaintance on a Friday night to Arlington, VA...

Staying the night with a friend...

Asking same friend to bring me to the airport at 4am Saturday morning...

Spending 2 1/2 hours on a plane...

$400 round trip ticket from DC to Houston...

Begging a friend to pick me up at the airport Sunday and bring me back to work...

19 hours spent with these guys (and you too Billy :)) before heading back to DC...

PRICELESS

John at EIGHT Months Old!

I cannot believe how fast time is flying...John is officially EIGHT months old already!  (Yes, this post is a day late, but hey, I'm a bit busy right now!).

What has he been up to?

He is extremely mobile, crawling EVERYWHERE...

He is not satisfied unless he is rummaging through Will's toys and in the middle of any and all action at the house...

He can get to standing without support and then "surfs" for 10-20 seconds before sitting down...

He is definitely teething and one has just about popped through already so stand by!

His personality continues to get more and more fabulous with each passing day...

--and I miss him--a lot--

Here's Johnny B. at EIGHT months old :)

And for the comparison (and in this instance, extremely relevant timing)...

Snippets

Just a simple post to share some of my favorite pictures from this past weekend...

Will eating cheese (no, I do not (necessarily) condone this behavior) :)

My little butterball...and the best dad in the world that is holding down the fort for the next 8 weeks (1 week down, yeah!)...

John's "explore the tupperware cabinet" right of passage...

And the two cutest bathers ever...

Science Experiment

A few weeks ago, Will and I were doing, yes, another science experiment.  We made our very own swamp.  It started out fine, he added some mud, leaves, grass, rocks, then got some of his swamp animals and placed them inside a nice little tupperware container.  Then of course, his imagination went wild and he dumped the entire swamp into one of his (eating) trays.  But he didn't stop there...he just had to put his 500 Super Friend action figures in it.  It was a little crazy, a lot of fun, and he even helped  clean up afterwards :)

Happy Birthday Billy!

We love you!!!
