Update

We'll start this post with Valentine's Day. Peter's Grandpa Perkins brought him a balloon and a chocolate shake. He was so delighted! Mom and Dad got chocolate shakes as well, which we enjoyed even more than he did.


Here he's sitting with Luke, properly attired in his coverall-style bib (IKEA 2 for $5! The ONLY way to go), ready to dig into his shake. Gotta love the surprised/guilty face.

Here is a video of Peter happily banging his balloon around.



This next section will be about Peter and his food.

Here he is, raiding Grandma Wright's cupboard for the Cheerios.


He always makes such a mess when he eats! And it's adorable every time!


He has recently decided he will have no more high chair. Not even a booster. He will sit at the table with us to eat, or he won't eat at all. He uses his wily looks to get his way. Would you be able to say no?



He also loves feeding people. In this case, it was a lovely green salad, compliments of Luke.

Here is a video of him pulverizing his food.



Aunt Samantha went to Ecuador last summer to help work in the orphanages and got two beautiful alpaca wool sweaters.


An interesting mix of red and blue, perfectly demonstrating our family's mixed loyalty. Considering we don't get involved in the whole school spirit thing, though, loyalty might be too strong a word. At any rate, he looks cute in any hat, and frequently dons them on his own. Yep, he pulled it on himself, I merely took the picture.


Here he is in another favorite hat, going outside to play in the snow for the one and only time this winter. The lack of snow was uninspiring for playing purposes, but at least we got to sled this one day.


Pictured here with his friend Andrew.


Here we are, sliding down! I loved it, Peter was mostly indifferent.


He liked swinging a lot better.


Here he is trying out the booster seat Grandma Ce Ce has lent us.


Here he is, trying to work out his abs with Daddy's Ab Roller. Babies are strong!


Last of all, my dear friend Amanda is expecting a baby boy this April. Here she is opening presents at the shower I attended.
