The Professional








We just received the photographs from West's Speesees shoot. There was way too much cuteness to contain in one post but here are the best of the lot! All credit goes to Andrea Scher of Superhero Photo.

Swing Lessons

The swing seems to be growing on West. It helps when he has Mama there to make silly faces and play peek-a-boo and an adapted version of patty-cake. Here is some footage from our latest swing experience.

Octopretzel


West went to his first concert on Saturday - a really fun kids band called Octopretzel. They not only play fun music, they use puppets in their act! The concert was hosted at the Speesees Shoppe in Dogpatch and the Speesees gals took some great photos of the kids rocking out. I've stolen a couple of photos of West from the Speesees blog to share with you - all credit goes to the spectacular Speesees team. West was enthralled with the music ... and the celery.

Dejeuner sur l'Herbe

Today is West's 9th monthaversary and we celebrated a day early with a picnic in the park, Manet-style. West surveyed his surroundings,

started out with a little yoga,

and promptly fled the scene.

He really enjoyed his strawberry.




Then West went exploring - and discovered Aaron!
He climbed on him ...
slobbered him into submission ...
and proclaimed victory!
Then they had some nice quality time together while Aaron plotted his revenge ...
which took the form of tickling! More specifically, a stealth chin attack.

West tried on Daddy's sunglasses,
and enjoyed being tossed up in the air,
and rode home on Aaron's shoulders.

Mohawk!






We decided to have some fun with West's hair after his bath last night. He was his usual accommodating self and the results, if I do say so myself, were FANTASTIC!

Of course, he was also happy once we combed out his new 'do.

Overalls




West looks awfully dapper in overalls.

Tickle Me West

Here is some super-delicious footage of West laughing. He is very ticklish, as I attempted to demonstrate, but it's tough to tickle someone who is already cracking up.
