Peels of laughter...

Photo fun!

Baby Ish was in a very good mood yesterday afternoon, so I took advantage of the moment and snapped some photos.

Bright eyes

Sayonara Gilbert...

Now you see him...

Now you don't...

Silly...

Chaos...

Life has been pretty crazy around here the past few days.  With all three of us getting sick, a doctor's appointment, a wedding, and the normal everyday hustle and bustle, I have barely had time to hear myself think (thus blogging was clearly out of the question).   Things are looking like they will be a little bit quieter this week.  Hopefully that means I will be able to get around to reviewing both The Happiness Project and Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.  Here are a couple of photos from the past week (sadly, there are none from the wedding since I neglected to bring my camera).

When I reached for my camera, Little Ish was standing up holding onto the edge of his book bin; by the time I was able to snap a photo, he had reached for a book all the way across the bin.  The end result? Flying baby!

Proof that he does actually stand! (As opposed to flying...)

Meet Gilbert

Gilbert is a stuffed goose who gets a lot of playtime around here.  Little Ish has found several uses for Gilbert.

Gilbert is good for patting.

He is even better for snacking on.

And of course, he is wonderful for snuggling.



Gilbert was a Christmas gift. The only place I know of to purchase one of these adorable geese is at Twelve Chairs, a shop and design studio in the Fort Point neighborhood of Boston.
