sleepsy

one time he had his binky in and just kept rubbing his face into my shirt- so cute!

whoa!  i grabbed my phone to take a picture of him sleeping and just as i press the button to take the picture- he opened his eyes!

now why cant you do this when you are actually in the car?!?

sleeping in his swing with his dear sweet browny!

bouncy seat

he loves to push those buttons (almost as much as he likes to push his mom's buttons- hey oh!)

so cute!

he seems a little nervous about the whole thing.  'um, what do i do with all this, dad?'

he carefully examined everything before he got really comfortable with it.

crackers!

i think he was a bit surprised by the fact that when he reached out for the cracker that he was actually able to hold it!

'alright, i've got this thing.  now what do i do with it?!?' ledger thinks.

after sucking on it for a minute, he seemed to rather like it!  sorry buddy, but its too solid of a food for you to eat just yet...

ledger's not too sure about what's going on...
