Walker has discovered that his bath is filled with water and water is fun to drink. His new trick, developed in the last two days, is to try to drink some water from his bath by reclining on his little ramp, turning his head to one side and opening his mouth. Now it's one of

Walker loves his carrots. For the past few days, he's been very interested in being a part of the carrot eating process. Yesterday it was all about his bowl. Today it was all about his spoon. We had to maneuver the full spoon around his spoon if we were going to get anything actually into

I've found that pretty much everything my baby does is unexpected. Yeah, I'm sure this doesn't come as a surprise to anyone... but really, how often do you gaze at your little bundle of joy and think, "Gosh, I have no idea what you're going to do next and likely, whatever it is, I will

Well, it's official. The word of 2008 will be "Toothiness" because as of 1/11/08, Mr. Gummers has a tooth. It's just a hint of a thing but we can feel it and we can catch a glimpse of it if Walker holds a super wide smile for a few seconds. He's not looking like a

The festivities began last night with Christmas Eve dinner at Grammy Jane's house with the traditional Cioppino, sourdough, and homemade chocolate sauce over ice cream (thank you Graunt Margie and Gruncle Howard). Dinner began at 6pm and

Walker is 0.5 (prounounced, "a HALF") and that means he's allowed to start solid foods. Everyone says you begin with "rice." Given that we weren't there yet, I never asked what "rice" really meant. I mean, there's such a wide variety from the basic short grain white to the fancy-schmancy kind you get at Trader

After the week we had, we felt we deserved to take a little trip down to Half Moon Bay and get our tree. It's one of our favorite things to do each year and this time we got to share it with someone who likes to touch EVERYTHING. Walker was very helpful in picking out

"All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. My two front teeth. My two front teeth." Walker went to visit Santa today. He was so good and happy and Santa was very impressed. Yes, that is his REAL beard. We were so excited about the visit we got two 5x7 photos and a
