A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Cuteness

Reilly's 7th week - a montage

Here are two weeks' worth of photos crammed into one post, starting with ...

... Reilly's first trip to market! He was very excited to see all of the fresh, local produce, as is clearly demonstrated in the photos below.

Here he is with some juice.










Here he poses with some lettuce. And half of dad's face.

Here he enthuses over onions.

And some oranges.

Avocados.

What finally made him open his eyes? Shoes. That's how you know that Molly is his real mother.

Then he saw a frog!

And another frog!!!








Reilly also enjoys staring at his very first Christmas tree, which we set up in 10-minute spurts over the course of 3 days. He helped, mostly by spitting up.

Bonus cuteness.

Last Friday was mommy and daddy's tenth anniversary. I let them go out to dinner without me but made them promise to bring me back some sushi.

I got to hang out with grandma and grandpa, aunt Pam and cousins Vivi and Alex. What an entourage! Here's my cousin Vivi feeding me. She's all right!

A Boy and His Frog

Reilly has recently started smiling and making those precious cooing sounds. Some friends he likes to "talk" to are wooden jungle animals on the wall beside his changing table. They are the best 79 cents I ever spent!

I'm 4 weeks and 5 days old ...

... and today I had tubby time!!!

I'm 1 month old ...

... and today I took my first trip to Hersheypark for Christmas Candylane. Here I am with mommy and daddy on my first ride ever, the carousel.

I went to the park with my Auntie Pam, Uncle Brodie and cousins Vivi and Alex. Here they are, in one of their blurrier moments.

Here are Brodie and Alex in front of Santa's reindeer.

And here is Vivi in Chocolate World, where we saw a house made of chocolate, which made me so excited that I pooped my pants in the food court.

I'm 3 weeks and 1 day old ...

... and today I went to my first restaurant with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Brodie, Vivi and Alex. Oh, and mommy and daddy. Daddy's been slacking on posting photos, so I'm going to upload some myself. Warning: below is a display of devastating cuteness.

Grandparents

This weekend I spent time with a buncha grandparents.

Here I am after meeting mommy's mommy for the first time. I'll meet mommy's daddy in early December!


And here I am with daddy's mommy.










And daddy's daddy.

More Halloween photos

I'm 2 weeks and 1 day ...

... and it's my first Halloween! I'm very excited, or as excited as someone can be who has no idea what's going on or why mommy and daddy are laughing so hard. Here is my first Halloween costume.
I think I look doggone good. Sorry.

I'm 12 days old ...

... and I'm hanging out with dad and cheering on the Phillies. Chase Utley just hit a homerun to take the lead in World Series Game 1. Here's how I celebrated:

I'm going for the stoic approach. Phillies hoodie compliments of Uncle David and Auntie Sharon.
I also wore socks for the first time today – the first pair of socks I ever owned, bought by my Auntie Pam.

I'm saving my I Love My Daddy socks for Game 2 ...

I'm 10 days old ...

... and today I met my Uncle Brodie. Here we are together. I'm the one in the sleepsack.

 

And here I am with Auntie Pam. She made me a cozy jungle blanket that matches the decorations in my room. I like it a lot, and will probably take it along on a safari or two. I hunt rhinoceroses. Rhinoceri? I don't know.

And here I am with Pam, Brodie and my cousin Vivi, who is going to teach me all sorts of tricks. They tend to be out of focus, so if the picture looks fuzzy, just know that it's them, and not my dad's photography skills.
