Like so ... http://www.mimzilla.com/?p=437 Tomorrow is Walker's third birthday and things have been terribly chaotic over the last few weeks.

I went to watch and, of course, document the occasion. He's really comfortable in the water and we're so very proud of our little dolphin. Thank you Grammy for giving Walker this experience. And don't get any ideas about surfing, Uncle Thayer! http://www.mimzilla.com/?p=408 Walker has been making up songs lately and when we went on the great Valentine photoshoot, he started singing a song.
