a day with the ducks...

Look at those smiles! Doesn't your heart just melt a little???

yup, very cute.

On frozen pond

Now that we have a break from the rain, and our various ailments seem to be lifting, we finally got out for another walk. It is amazing how good it feels to get out of the house... I am glad that the days are getting longer and that we can look forward to spring in a few months.

Can you tell that Brandon is teething again??? You can see him working his gums...

For some reason, it is always amusing watching the ducks land on the ice and skitter all about. I wish that I had thought to bring along some seed! We went for a lap around the lake, and then stood around and watched the birds, it was a magic afternoon even if it was a bit chilly!!

utterly charming goofy kid

What can I say? We have a lot of fun together. 18 months is right around the corner, Brandon has most of his teeth, has lots of words, I know Baby Beluga off by heart (I can even sing it off key), he can stack and play with figurines, and he cruises and gets around. It is amazing how fast he learns new words, and how to do new things.

really fast

Did I mention how fast Brandon is?

bath tub shots...

I don't know why I find the shots of Brandon in the tub with crazy hair so amusing.
