New Faces

I think the unifying theme of these pictures is that Edison is showing a lot of different expressions these days. Some moments he acts like a little baby again and others it seems like he is well on his way to elementary school. There have also been glimpses of the "terrible twos" like when he does NOT want to sit in his car seat and I practically have to pin him into the seat with a knee and an elbow. But that does not happen often and Eben & I keep reminding ourselves that he really is such a cooperative, friendly, and inquisitive little guy that we are very fortunate to be his parents. Here is is coming down the slide - I love the look of sheer joy in his face! This is the same expression he gives when he jumps into my arms from the side of the pool these days.


I think he is giving us a peek at what he will look like as an older child in this picture - he is quite serious.




He is climbing on just about everything. I try to take him to a playground every day. After encouraging him to climb the play toys, he now sees every object as a tempting Mt. Everest to climb. He does enjoy climbing into chairs now. We have a little rocking chair his size that has been handed down from when my mother was a child (not in this picture). He loves that it is HIS size! In this picture he is in one of our Adirondack chairs and wearing a lovely sweater for his Great Aunt Kathie and Uncle Floyd.

We went on the sailboat last weekend with our friends Jamie & Danya. Sometimes Edison is able to finagle a cell phone away from unsuspecting friends. I think he is making calls to his stock broker in this photo.
Did you really think he'd willingly give the cell phone back?! Oh how naive! He looks like such a cute little goblin here.
