we've been taking it easy with impending ice storms, slippery sidewalks and a toddler who's busy trying out those walking feet.
the neighbors came over with pizza and beer and forrest! and that's how we do a saturday night.
silas auditions to be aaron's guitar tech.

forrest works the drum sticks.

good night smooches.

spending the week with grandma and grandpa while sam puts in some late nights. grandma discourages silas from charging the christmas tree and instead encourages decorating.

ice covered branches and frozen berries in mchenry county.

after dinner bath with waterfall!

bathing silas is always a two person affair.

now that looks more like the baby that sam and i were expecting to see.

back in the city, silas has developed an obsession with sweeping. i never thought i would try to sweep silently on the sly to avoid my dust pan demanding son.

What is it with babies and cleaning? Audrey does the same thing but prefers lint rollers and washcloths.

Watch out for the Swiffer--that stick can hit many people and walls.
i love the pic with the glass block. Silas looks like one of those pickled people that Grandma P used to give as gifts...finally a good gift idea! xo
