Grandma and Grandpa Come to Visit

Last weekend we had Grandma Veronica and Grandpa John come for a visit.

Some pics:

From Quiet Observer to Active Participant

Will, sitting up and taking command of the room.

Will is 3 months and three weeks old now. He's got good head control and he spends a LOT of time looking around. He likes to sit up and face out. I swear he's an artist because he spends so much time just observing things. He does respond too. He now giggles and squeals. His laugh is "ah hah hah" with a big gummy smile on his face.

I think the Think Thing from Liz will become a favorite toy.

Another thing he's starting doing is walking! He's a genius! He can't roll over yet, but he's already walking. OK, that's an embellishment. If he's held standing he picks up his right leg really high like a parade horse and stomps it down. Occasionally he'll put it down and shift his weight and pick up his left leg. It cracks me up. He loves doing it. I can tell he's going to keep us on the go when he finally gets all the coordination under control. Oh boy!

Sequence of Parade Walking

We got a gorgeous Instep Jogging Stroller from Mike Mancini and McMurtrie, my friends from DC. Dave put it together last weekend and we plopped little one in it. It's a bit big right now for him. But we're eager to get off the pavement with the stroller and onto the trails soon.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the the moms out there but especially to:

Dagmar, Judy, Veronica, Alicia, Martha Jean, Ashley and others I'm sure I've forgotten.

Some more William images for your enjoyment:

Illicit Snuggle Fest Nest Discovered in Reno

Many thanks go out to Liz M. of New York state for the
Think Thing and book "Oh the Thinks You Can Think!"

Last week anonymous sources disclosed the location of an illicit snuggle nest in Reno, NV.


Perps caught included the devastatingly cute William J. Spero of Reno and a "Think thing" from Land-O'-Seuss.


Documentation is extensive and gratuitous.


Well, maybe not gratuitous, because it's pretty awesome to look at.


In other news, we had a visit from Uncle Max and Uncle Nick. I like how Will mirrors a lot of people's expressions.

Will is now three months and one week and weighs in at 13 pounds. We weighed him on the shipping scale at Dave's workplace. He almost squiggled off. Oops!
