Wasn't there some commercial...for Velveeta, perhaps? "It's the cheesiest!" (all smiles, and mac, Nov. 2007).

"Uh, where's my food?"

"The only way to achieve block-building perfection is to sit on Lion in the process." Thus Spoke Colliwaffles, son of Gimli.

Pensive? Curious? Ready for the next thing? Looking for cousin Mabel? (Collin, Lake Clear, NY, 2007)

Collin mit papa: "Uh, this guy's a bit crazy, and he keeps whispering in my ear about the aesthetics of the musical space and the relationship between ontology and ethics...but I'll keep him. He's hairy, makes funny sounds, and carries me around. Pretty sweet deal."

The two cousins taking their first bath together. Lots of fun. Lots of mess. Maybe too early too much for their respective mamas to bear...but it was fun trying...!

Yee haw. Kickin' it with the moms in my new mei tai baby carrier! Sweet! Go mommy, go! Hey, there's a trail o'er yonder...hard right!

Yay, yay, giddy up, giddy up, yay, yay, gid...wait a second...do I smell food??!!

Collin and Opa Sherm, reading, it would seem, one of Collin's favorite books, "Charlie Monkey" (July 2007)

"Guten tag. Hier ist Collin, mit meine familie von Deutschland" (Collin mit cousins Vivien und Robin, 22.6.07).

Life's good. Where's my shaker?? In a second, I'll start crawling around the house with my hands full. Dum diddy dum diddy dum dum dum. I like cameras.

I bend it. I shake it. The world is my oyster. I control all the cars that drive by. I'm the keeper of the sun, dreamer of dreams, catcher of smiles...but I'm not a megalomanic!

The confused crabby claw: Mommy steamed my cucumbers...because she thought they were squashes. Hmmm...cooked, wet, limp cucumber...yum???? Oh well...I'll eat it anyway, just so I don't hurt her feelings. "Don't quit your day job, mom."

Door Guarder. People Watcher. Music Hearer. Mischief Mister Provocateur. Cute and Buddha-like.

The Sneaky-Daddy-from-Behind-the-Chair routine works every time! (giggle, giggle)

Wish you were there (Florida, March 2007).

Hmmm. Bite it? Eat it? Analyze it? Meditate on it? Squeeze it? Smack it? It's fun being a little one!

The Carousel Troupe (Florida, March 2007).

Heh?

Fun fam.

Fun fam.

Hmmm.

Yum.

Wha?

Heh?
