tummy time

these were my attempt to take pictures down on his level- like uncle pete does soooo well. mine, not so great- but he's still so pretty and sweet to look at, right?

toby the chef

toby decided to be a chef. so he put on 2 white shirts- cause chef wear white coats, but he doesn't have a white coat, so 2 white shirts were his substitute. and donned a lovely white paper bag as his chef hat, then proceeded to make a large batch of fruit salad. as you see, my hair is wet. he did all the dressing and fruit salad making while i was in the shower. then i came down, snapped a few pics, and helped him cut some cucumbers too- he wanted to know how chefs cut so fast. so i showed him the curled finger technique.
