Hello there, cutie pie!

Morning playtime {he matched up the farm mashup pieces all by himself}

Playing with Captain Calamari

Breakfast time!

Will insisted that momma be in a picture too

He had some important e-mailing to take care of from his laptop

But the laptop was broken so he found a screwdriver in the kitchen drawer and brought it to me so we could fix it

Someone is all snuggled up

He really likes pictures of himself while eating for some reason

My own little Mr. Fixit

The kid's got style, what can I say?

Stella's making sure John passes the sniff test {sorry Stella, he's staying}

Our little sock monkey

Sometimes I hear quiet and expect trouble and walk in to find him like this

John gets sick of all the noise while we're driving so he blocks it out

Good morning, sunshine

Plotting his next move

Maxing and relaxing in momma's chair

Enjoying his bagel & banana {his most favorite meal at this age}

A truck got stuck in our ditch trying to make a pickup at the neighbor's house

Dr. Will gave Bear his checkup {luckily he is doing well despite his lack of growth these past few years}

John's first solids! {avocado, yummmmmm}

I asked Will to draw me a square and since he's a genius, he did

The aftermath of a good playdate

Peas were not his favorite in the beginning

Walker time! {and someone looks mighty sleepy}

We ate an entire sleeve of ritz crackers in about 5 minutes {momma did most of the damage}

Keeping himself busy while momma nurses John
