He named him Irving.
Lorne put the lights on the tree. Will helped*.
*followed Lorne and grabbed at his legs and sort of got in the way
Evie found this all very amusing.
On Monday, we took Will down to the little cookie decorating party our apartment complex put on. Will thought this was the best kind of party.
Sorry for the terrible picture.
He did have some help from Lorne, but I think he did a pretty good job! The squeezy tubes of frosting made it a lot easier for him, I think. We might do something like this when we make sugar cookies this year.
Also on Monday: Evie put up with Will's hugs.
And rolled a few more times, but I again failed to get it on camera, just the aftermath.
I don't know what's going on on the right there. Apparently I let the baby roll around in wires?
On Tuesday, we went on a walk in the evening because Mommy needed at least two shots of espresso to stay awake until bedtime.
Seriously Mom, we go on walks ALL THE TIME. Why must you document them all for posterity?
Will collected these sticks along the way. I asked him why he wanted to carry sticks, and he said he had to give them to Grandma Gail. I asked what he thought Grandma Gail would do with a bunch of sticks and he said, "She's going to sniff them."
Not pictured: Will adorably ordering a hot chocolate at Starbucks and telling the barista his name ("I'm Will! I'm Will [lastname redacted]!"), then putting $1 in the tip jar.
When did Evie stop looking like a little infant? How is she 4.5 months already?
STOP MAKING ME WEAR THIS HAT AND HAVE TUMMY TIME. IT'S TOO MUCH!
Also: Will took Evie's tummy time blanket and put it on his head.
I said, "Aw, you're a little babushka!"
Will responded, "I'm just cozy. Cozy and NOT a babushka Mom."
On Wednesday, we decorated the Christmas tree.
Will told us he was eating the star because it was pretty. (???)
Maybe he has pica?
Will and Evie also sat and chatted for awhile.
Then Will left.
On Thursday, Grandma Gail arrived! Due to some fog in the San Diego airport she was sent to Ontario, and then rode down here with someone from her flight and arrived at like, 2 AM. We were glad she made it, and the kids enjoyed reading stories with her.
On Friday, Grandma Gail took Will & Evie to Grandma Jo's house. Lorne and Laurel drove to San Francisco. Here is the sunset over Malibu:
On Saturday, Lorne & Laurel did the first day of Bazaar Bizarre.
We also saw Giants closer Brian Wilson jogging when we went to get dinner on our break. He was wearing sunglasses and a headband and looked a lot like Luke Wilson's character (Richie) from The Royal Tenenbaums. We then used our handy dandy phones to look up where Brian Wilson lives, and surprise, it's in the marina district of SF, which is where we saw him. As baseball nerds, we thought it was kind of neat.
