Hiccups and Head Control

Mmmm, Sangria and cinnamon sticks on steroids

One of the girls from the compound made this Sangria recipe and I'm hooked. It called for two 3" cinnamon sticks, which I couldn't find. Luckily, Perry found these on his way home.
That's a dinner plate and one stick. It might be cinnamon flavored bark, but it does the trick.

Carrie's Sangria

1 cup apple juice

1/3 cup Triple Sec

1/4 cup sugar

4 whole cloves

3 blood (or navel) oranges, cut into 1/4 inch slices

2 lemons cut into 1/4 inch slices

2 (3 inch) cinnamon sticks

1 Bartlett pear, cut into small cubes

2 plums, cut into small cubes

1 bottle fruity red wine

Combine all ingredients and stir until sugar dissolves. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove cloves and cinnamon sticks before serving.

One of the many reasons he'll hate us later

Giving us a piece of his mind about that tummy time garbage

Pear-Banana Scented Bottoms

Perry found these today. There's nothing right about this, but Maggie and Avery will love it. Take note of the lapin (rabbit).

William goes to the beach

We took William on a long weekend to the Maldives this weekend. He was a very good boy.

He took a 4 hour plane ride. Slept.

He took a boat ride to get to the island. Slept.

He went on a sunset dolphin cruise. Slept.

Glass bottom boat cruise. Slept.

Dinners. Slept

Our villa was perfect-right by the water. Wills could take a nap in the room and we could hang out on the beach and hear him when he woke up.

He made a new friend. Some might say a ceiling fan can't really be your friend, but you'd be wrong. Each time we put him on the bed for a diaper change, he'd laugh and talk to the fan for as long as we'd let him. Not many people are imaginative enough to make a friend out of inanimate object. He's gifted.

Hair Club for Men

Wills has been losing his hair by the fistfuls. It looks like a black cat's been sleeping in his bed and car seat. It looks like it's growing back in a little lighter. Might have to change his name to T.J. now.
