watch out says that bird...

took Hunter down to the waterfront to feed the sea birds...the skills needed to actually insert my digi card INTO the camera were 50 shades of lacking so my first couple of hundred photos are just non printable memories...he laughed...she may have shed a few tears...

the birds were disappointed with the stale cornflakes we threw to them...but being the giant pigs that they truly are they begrudgingly ate them when they realized we did not have our pockets lined with fish or french fries...

Hunter babbled and watched the swarming flock as they walked around at our feet...easily entertained as always...such a happy happy boy...


 

rose...

some of the best tweets tonight re: the Bachelorette "guy without the egg, will you accept this rose?"..."guy with less than 6 kids, will you accept this rose?"...and "OMG! there are only like 5 of these guys that aren"t bat shit crazy"...but must include pink shirt guy thinking "i bought a pink shirt and a pink tie for NOTHING!"...thank you twitter for the awesome commentary...

dear Hunter, i LOVE when you hold out your hand to hold mine...in the stroller...in the car...anytime little one...anytime...oh and please don't grow up and be on a reality show...

these two...

violets...

are starting to naturalize here and there...LOVE them almost as much as the lily of the valley...
i wonder what he was telling us...it was a tall animated tale...THE BEST...

three weeks...

full of so many good things...the bloggity world just hasn't been one of them...the editing world hasn't been one of them either...THIS has been one of them...
and so has this...
and this too...
enjoyably this...
watching these two melts my heart...
and amazingly this...

Hunter in the house...

And he has his first tooth...hoping he keeps his big toothless grin for awhile longer...a tubby in the sink with big splashes...good job bubski...catching bubbles...your look of delight when placed on big G's shoulders where you can get two fists full of hair...searching for jungle animals on the ipad...and becoming the BEST easter bunny ever...LOVE LOVE LOVE the boy...

Big G and little G...

the "i am sooooo hungry" game...nom nom NOM nom nom...

again little G?...yes please big G...

happy vernal equinox...

sunny and hot...forsythias are flowering...oaks are hugely budded...daylilies are growing 2 inches per day...windows are wide open..barefeet or flip flops...sitting outside in the sun...morning coffee on the deck...grilling outside...weekend drives...oh how we welcome thee...

the big G is really missing the little g...everyday when the big G gets home from work he asks "do we have a new photo of our boy"...most days the answer is YES...

and he was baptized...

took a few pairs of hands to dress the wee one in his silky suit...from hat to socks and shoes...his face was often all what what what is this all about...at church he first wiggled out of his shoes...then his socks...and did a little altar screeching...(the story his mama told us about what happened at church BEFORE the christening had us saying "that's our boy!")...

was such a delightful day...Beth did an amazing job as hostess!!!...and Hunter did an amazing job as the cutest baby!!!...

 

after a very brief nap he had the tiniest of a taste of his mama's beautiful cake...yumm yumm yumm...

look who naps with Hunter...

Charlie Cat...he goes in and snuggles up on Hunter's blanket...sweet...

and speaking of sweet...this smile...seriously sweet...
