Breakfast with the Bunny!

Dear William,

You are doing great since getting the tubes in your ears! Mommy and Daddy couldn’t imagine you being happier then you already were, but you are seriously all smiles all the time it seems. You laugh constantly, and babble more and more different sounds every day. You now get up on all fours before you fall into your fish-flapping routine. You can flap or spin over to Mommy or Daddy and then pull up onto us. We are going to be in trouble once you are crawling. We bought all the baby-proofing stuff so we will be ready once you start. Mommy is a little worried that you might actually start crawling while she is in Kansas City for work this week. Mommy will be gone four nights in a row this time. You and Daddy will do just fine hanging out on your own, but Mommy will miss you!

You are becoming a camera ham, and break out into a huge smile for the camera.  You even lean towards it to allow for a better picture.  You have started to do a "growl" smile, for lack of a better thing to call it.  It doesn't really even look like a smile, but more like you are really mad.  But you are actually happy and usually laughing when you do it, so we know you are smiling.  Mommy and Daddy wonder if you are doing it because your teeth are about to come in or something...

You are now exhibiting extreme aversions to anyone but Mommy or Daddy.  You cry when anyone holds you that is not us and reach out for us to take you back.  Hopefully this is just a phase.  It is very cute, but so many people love you, we want them all to be able to hold you and give you hugs! 

Your aversion to other people apparently does not extend to other people dressed in costumes.  Papa and YaYa took our family and Uncle Dave, Aunt Kristen, Cora and Avery to Breakfast with the Easter Bunny yesterday.  You LOVED it!  You really got into the characters that came around.  You did great with the bunny and were very interested in the fish tank.  Mommy and Daddy are going to take you to the aquarium soon, because we think you'll like it.  Here are some pictures from the breakfast:

Here is you being a ham for the camera.

Avery was scared of the characters.



Love,

Mommy and Daddy
