california, part 2

on our final few days in california lots and lots of family came to town to visit and celebrate william and cousin jacob's blessing. here's their first meeting. i don't think they really care.

great grandma hayden got them both at the same time.

and william's not sure about those booties grandma forrest has on him.

we also went to the park with dad.

i love that face.

3 months

william has past the 3 month mark. at his doctor visit today he weighed in at a healthy 12 lb 10 oz and is 24 3/4 inches long. and he also got two shots which was sad. here he is with his zebra.

to mark his 3 month birthday we took a water taxi from manhattan to the brooklyn ikea and got him a gym as he is now more interactive with his toys.

he was happy.

california, part 1

we stayed in california for 10 delightful days. there were many new experiences every day. on our first day grandma showered us with fun toys.

we had lots of tummy time,

finally captured a smile on camera,

first laughs, sleeping on grandpa's shoulder,

kissing back, first trip to the park,

and just being cute.

and that all happened before meeting lots of family!

grandma shafer visit

we love our grandmas. grandma shafer came to cold new york to help out again and help us get to california. some highlights of her stay include many, many happy baths,

rolling over for the first time, a walk along the highline on an abnormally warm day,

first shots, and williams first plane ride on which he was a champ, sleeping most of the way.

thank you thank you grandma!

family photo

the snow doesn't seem to be stopping here in new york. at least it makes a pretty background for some forrest family photos.

this was taken in the back of our building - we are right on the hudson river.

mardi gras

happy mardi gras!

grandma shafer gave william these beads and they have become his new favorite toy.
