2009- In pictures

Happy New Year, Everyone!

My parents are in town, so I will be resuming my regular blogging on Monday.

Until then, here is a review of 2009 in pictures:

.

January:

Afternoon naps became rough to wake up from- we decided to ditch them completely.

Joseph discovered that lotion is much more fun than toys

and that smoothies are the most exciting thing on the planet.

He also took his candy obsession to new heights when he tried to eat an M&M directly out of my Dad’s mouth.
