first time playing with miyim bear.

holding hands with mom.

this is how he falls asleep...by sucking his pointer and middle fingers. i made the mistake of putting pjs with mitten hands on two nights ago, and he couldn't fall asleep until i went back it and folded the mittens back. whoops!

from dennis: Total sleep

another shot from climbing on dad earlier in the day.

he's pretty excited about playing with the leaves from his play mat (they're hard to see here). and his fuzzy new hat from aunt jane!
