Chair

Walter now enjoys sitting up in his Bumbo seat.

A good opportunity to catch up on some reading.

Equinox

It is warming up enough to catch a nap outside.

Colin approves.

A happy baby.

Arizona

Enjoying the warm weather.

The cousins hit it off great. Abby was very interested in Walter's diaper changes.

Four generations.

Walter was excited to meet his great-grandparents.

Grilling pizza by the pool.

Keeping the sun off the little one.

Changing Table

The changing table is a favorite hangout, especially with some nice new black and white photos of large animals from Dave and Lindsay's travels to Kenya.

Tropical Grandparents

The Como Conservatory is a great place to escape the MN winter weather.

Hammer

Walter putting the tool loop on his overalls to use.

plots

Walter went in to the office for a while today and stared intently at some of his mom's plots so that he could give her some feedback.

(he really did have his eyes open for a long time before snoozing a bit)

Airplane

We had a sad reason to take our first plane trip with Walter. We're sorry to say goodbye to Grandma Fanny.

Luggage volume goes up considerably with a baby. Car seat on back, Walter on front.

Quiet baby on the plane.

Two guys hanging out watching the olympics.

Meeting Uncle Sandy

. . . and Grandma Margaret

Galactica

The other night we watched part of the olympic opening ceremony next door with Colin and Jane (go team USA speedskating!). When the Galactic Pizza delivery man came we took advantage of the photo op.

The delivery guys dress in superhero outfits and drive in little electric pod cars when weather permits.

sushi!

The other evening we were treated to a private sushi lesson from Jeremy, who is a former sushi chef. Sushi is on the forbidden list during pregnancy, so it was a fun celebration of an end to the dietary restrictions.

Fast Hands.

Some of the final products.

Anna gives it a try.

Walter's first art museum trip to the Walker.

Nap time.
