HE LOVES HIS DAD

13 months, 4 days

Tonight we did our annual Go to Wendy's for Dinner / Buy the Christmas Tree tradition.  Peter enjoyed eating everything we ordered.  Here he is getting very excited because Erik is playing peek a boo with him from across the restaurant :)

FRIENDS

13 months, 3 days

We had some cute kiddos over today for an hour or so while their mom was at a doctor's appointment.  Peter had a blast with the big kids, Eleanor and Lewis :)

OWL FRIENDS

13 months, 2 days

Peter loves making his owl animals talk to each other.  Today he really got into putting them up in the windowsill while he did so.  It was sooo cute.

NEW HAIRCUT AND A RIDE

13 months, 1 day

We gave Peter a haircut, which you can kind of see in this pic.  Also, I gave him a ride in his toy cart, which he was very happy about.

NEW FRIEND

13 months

We visited our friend at her art studio today and she brought her little boy.  Peter had a blast playing with his new friend, Roman.

I wish I had gotten some better pictures of the two of them playing together (Roman was so sweet to Peter), but here they are separately (looking very cute indeed).

Peter is also wearing the sweater I knit for him when he was in my tummy.  He is finally big enough for it!

MIRROR

12 months, 29 days

Peter loves banging on the mirror.  Don't really think saying "no" will ever make a difference :)

THANKSGIVING

12 months, 27 days

I can't believe I didn't take any photos at Thanksgiving.  I think I was too busy enjoying myself to take out my camera :)  We had a great day...relaxing in the morning, taking a walk in the afternoon, and off to dinner in the early evening.  We feasted at our friends, The Shumways, along with some other friends from church.  Peter really enjoyed playing with the toddler that was there.  He was kind of wild the whole time though.  Celebrating a holiday with a baby sure isn't as relaxing as celebrating without! :)

We sure are GRATEFUL for this guy though.  Here he is, in one moment of relative peace, in dad's lap in front of the fire:

GREEN GULCH

12 months, 25 days

We took a walk at one of our favorite places in the bay area; Green Gulch.  It was very overcast, which made everything look 20 times greener and more lush than usual.  It was fun, but cold, and we forgot a heavy blanket for Peter.  Here he is using his Ergo carrier as a makeshift shied against the cold (worked pretty well):


Having a blast playing the piano at the bookstore in Bolinas:

LATE NIGHT SNACK

12 months, 24 days

Peter woke up tonight very upset so we decided to get him up for awhile.  He enjoyed a snack of his favorite food, grapes, and then went back to bed.

FOUNTAIN

12 months, 23 days

We had to wait for Erik after church while he attended a meeting.  Peter loved watching the fountain.

Looking like an old man on a cruise:

Classic Peter face:

BATH TIME

12 months, 22 days

Peter is a huge fan of the bath.  He screams for joy when we start filling the tub and he knows he is about to get in.  He stands up on his own with no support in the water, but not anywhere else....so funny.  His favorite toy is his rubber ducky; he has to be holding it the whole time or he gets very upset.

NEW COUSIN

12 months, 21 days

Today Kelly had her baby!  We went to the hospital to see them this morning...he is such a beautiful baby (no name yet)!  We can't wait for Peter to get to know his new cousin.

Looking down at the cars on the highway:


Getting a little TOO close to Mickey Mouse:


 Meet Baby Bize!

TAKE A BOW

12 months, 18 days

This is a pretty weak photo for today, but it is the only one I took.  Still, I think it is so cute and shows his little body so perfectly :)

BRUNCH

12 months, 17 days

We went and got breakfast as a family.  It was a nice idea, but Peter was pretty cranky and tired so it didn't end of being quite what he had hoped...still, it was a fun little outing :)

MORE

12 months, 16 days

All Peter wants to eat is grapes.  Here he is asking for more..and more and more...

CUTE

12 months, 15 days

Such a sweet face...

His new hoodie makes him look like a BOY instead of our baby!

LIBRARY ON A COLD DAY

12 months, 14 days

The weather has really turned and it feels like "winter" might be here to stay.  (I put winter in quotes because winter here means 50 degrees at the absolute worst :)  Still, it is sweater weather and muddy in the parks, so I think Peter and I will start spending a lot more time at the local libraries for the next few months.

KILLING TIME

12 months, 13 days

Sometimes Peter and I go to pick Erik up for work quite early and spend awhile walking around the area until he is done.  Peter was tired today and kind of out of it (hence the glazed over look)...though he still looks like a pretty stylish little guy!

I VOTED

12 months, 11 days

After a short walk to our poll to vote this afternoon, Peter enjoyed watching kids play in the playground.

Such a little Patriot.

IN THE GYM

12 months, 9 days

Here is a little video of Peter playing in the gym at church.  It is VERY boring unless you are a parent or grandparent, so beware.

It is so cute though, because he is focusing SO HARD trying to put his car back together.  He'll figure it out eventually :)
