Clean Up

This is an example of why five minutes of peace and quiet doesn't go unpunished with a little kid around.  Walter took a whiteboard marker and colored all around the walls in the dining area and the kitchen, the fridge, dishwasher, pantry door, and my desk chair.  Luckily, the magic erasers really are magic.

Christmas Eve

I'm posting this picture because this blog doesn't accurately reflect that Walter is a total drama queen.  He frequently throws the fakest crying fits, with a tissue if he can find one.  Very dramatic.

Eensie weensie spider...  sometimes we catch Walter signing it to himself when we're not encouraging it.

We spent the evening videotaping and laughing at Walter then we read the story of Christ's birth while he had his bottle.  It was a low-key Christmas Eve.

Jamaica

AJ and I spent the week in Jamaica, with Walter staying with my mom. It was fantastic! We swam, ate a ton, took a zip-line tour in the mountains, and did a lot of crossword puzzles. We went swimming late at night, AJ took windsurfing lessons, and we managed to not get burnt until the last day there! I'm sure I'm leaving things out, but the point is that we had a great time!

(I'm hoping this will be easier than uploading a million pictures. If you click on the image, it will open bigger.)

UPDATE: Okay, I have had requests to actually be able to see the pictures... so I tried to embed a slideshow, but the vertical pictures look wonky. Well, I did the best I could, people! :)

Breakfast

Mmmm... stale wads of mini marshmallows. I had forgotten that I left it on the floor last night after it was part of his nutritious dinner... uh, pre-dinner snack.
