Warm Weekend

It's been unseasonably warm in Rochester.

We had a great weekend, mostly spent outside...

At Quarry Hill Park Nature Center

Grandpa and the Rice Cereal

Shake it!

Rice Cereal!

For the very first time...

...is a bit messy

Alistair wasn't sure about it at first.

But in the end he decided rice cereal is a good thing!

School Pictures...

...totally posed and goofy.

The real Al is MUCH cuter!

6 Months!

Best Buddies (yes, that is Blue's tongue kissing his face, oops!)

Favorite activity....

...with trusty nuk.

Splish splash

(G rated!)

A Big Boy...

Someone we know is ready to cause some trouble...

...but this weekend, he was extra sweet hanging out in his monkey suit....

Uff da!  Al's mommy keeps forgetting that red-eye flash is creepy...

Blue in his bat wings, less than thrilled.

Saba contemplates those lucky outdoor kitties.

Crazy baby with Daddy.

Halloween Parade

Our 'hood had a halloween parade and a little monkey showed up...

(look closely to see runny nose)

(look closely to see a Geisha in the background!)

First Tooth....

...is almost impossible to document. But it's there!

Daddy discovered it while changing diaper on Friday morning.

It's small, white and razor-sharp. We're sure more will be coming soon.

Hooray for the TOOTH!

Eating Breakfast with Daddy

Monday

Al's school was closed so we were lucky enough to have Grandma come down and spend the day.

Fortunately Alistair was a happy camper...

And, Grandma brought along her iphone for these snazzy photos.

UNFORTUNATELY, no one thought to take any photos of Al and Grandma!

But we'll get lots when we go visit the Robertsons and Spreigls this weekend.

Happy Brown Bear
