A Week without Daddy

Ernie has been busy with preseason, so we only see him right before bedtime if he makes it home in time. We have been keeping our normal schedule with some extra play time to try and wear down little miss Samantha. Samantha is enjoying her baby toys the second time around while Woody is beginning to figure out how to use his hands. These two pictures crack me up, because they both have the same expression a couple of seconds apart.
He tries to fit his fist in his mouth at all times. I keep thinking maybe he is teething, but I am starting to think he just likes to chew his hand.
Max and Ruby is enjoying for the both of them. She tries to include Woody in her favorite things.
Samantha just needed a little rest during swimming, and Woody was happy to help out. She loves to lay by him, wet or dry!He likes to stick his tongue out when he is super happy.

Just marching along through the middle of campus. She is getting practice for 16 years from now.

Here is a perfect example of how well Samantha listens sometimes.

Don't stick your hand in the fountain:
OK, let me rephrase it--don't stick your hands in the fountain:
Have you ever heard that joke, can you hear this? Then turn it up--I am not going to explain it, but this picture makes me laugh.
It is time to head back up the hill, so back in the jogger goes Samantha. She had a good time running around campus looking for daddy--she thinks he is everywhere.

Woody's hair is the talk of anyone that gets near us. It sticks straight up into a mohawk. You can kind of see it in both of these pictures. Even the children come up and ask me why his hair does that. He has a head full of hair, just baby fine and white!

Baxter and Samantha needed a little rest after our walk around campus.
At least Woody still naps, but I would be much happier if Samantha would join him.
