All Things Guy

I realize this post is a bit excessive in Guy pictures, but we wanted to chronicle his recent expeditions for you, and the fact is we hardly ever take pictures of ourselves anymore. When our family asks for more photos, what they usually mean is more of the baby. Makes sense considering he seems to change daily, while Jonathan and I basically look the same (well, except for a couple of extra pounds and a little less hair).

I'd like to start by saying that the world of crawling is wonderful! I love Guy's freedom to go here and there and everywhere. I have no complaints that I spend most of my days chasing him around and keeping his hands off of things they shouldn't touch. He has such a good time searching every room, opening cabinets, and emptying drawers. The only time it is more difficult is when we're out on the town and he wants to crawl around on the dirty sidewalks. Yuck.

In the morning our kitchen is usually flooded with sunlight. One day we were in there while light was shining through our water cooler and made this pretty rainbow on the ground. Guy eyed it like a hawk and kept trying to get a hold of it. The scattered clouds would briefly cause it to disappear and he'd look around trying to find it. I love the simple things that keep him entertained these days!

As you will see in the rest of the pictures, Guy loves playing peek-a-boo behind curtains. He is fascinated with our washing machine, still loves playing in the shower, and tends to get stuck in some pretty awkward places and positions. He's got three teeth with another one just about to break through. He loves books ("Pat the Bunny" and "Baby Talk!" are his favorites right now) and anything electronic and expensive. Guy is our little sweetheart. He cuddles with us, let's us tickle him, and gives us countless sweet smiles. It's been a great 10 months!
