These are from pad's iphone (not in chronological order)
Rory's first snowman
(pinecone eyes, carrot nose, stick mouth and dead hydrangea hair, in case you were wondering.) Shortly after this he knocked the snowman down. Typical boy.

Go Pack Go!

Pad took Rory to the mall to ride on the toys. Daddies have a hard time saying no.

Two cousins on the dump truck at Christmas

R is an A. Rog. fan

At Panera for dinner en route to Indy for a wedding in January. Rory had his own grilled cheese.

On his John Deere ATV he got for Christmas from Bumma and Bumpa.

AGAIN

the camera is lost again. (as you may have guessed by the lack of activity here.)

blast.

well, anyway, since i'm here....

Rory currently has 8 teeth,

~signs MORE, PLEASE, MILK, BOOK, HELP, ALL-DONE, YES

~says down, up, mama, dada, done, O's (like cheerios), ball, dog, banana, bubble, more, no (while shaking his head and sometimes wagging his finger...what a hoot that is)

~can point to various body parts when you ask him, makes noises for animals, loves music, LOVES to dance, and his newest trick is going up and down a step on his feet (not crawling)......

....that's all i can think of right now.

and for your viewing enjoyment (it's a couple months old, from my phone)........
