penny: we spent much of the day thursday hanging out with your aunt (mommy's BFF) steph. she was 4 days past her due date so we walked, talked, and ate yummy food with her. this photo was taken about 8 hours before she went into heavy labor, and about 12 hours before the boy came on out into this world. you don't know it yet, but we have big plans for you and little wiley. visions of play dates, shared lunches, fighting over toys, and obviously one day getting married. we'll take it slow though... no pressure :)
this past week was a crazy one here, with driving back and forth to atlanta, a sad teething toddler, and being on baby watch with steph. so sadly i wasn't able to properly decide on a favorite 52 post from another blogger, let alone read much of any other blogs this week. mama needs to catch up!

penny: this week you and i took an afternoon trip to my favorite cast iron hunting spot. though you've come there with me quite a few times in the past, this was the first time you were able to really walk around and scope out the joint. you were pretty darn stoked on the whole adventure, and your mama was pretty darn stoked with how well you handled the hour long drives there and back!
and now for my favorite post from another bloggers 52 project. it has to be this one HERE. that sweet face on little biet is just too much! and seeing as penny and i are going on a little trip to visit some of her cousins tomorrow, it seemed appropriate. she has no idea what fun she's in for!

oh, the newborn baby smell!

a couple weeks ago friends of ours welcomed their second child into the world, miss winter eloise (seriously, how great is that name!), and last weekend i had the honor of taking some pictures of her and her big brother, dexter...

penny: much of your week was spent in your pj's, in this here bed. between the stomach bug you were so kindly given by your sweet cousins, and your second molar popping through, you were pretty bummed on life. if i have it my way, this is the worst you'll ever have to see! as for this face above, it just cracks me up. the way you hold my phone and pretend to talk on it is something i hope to never forget!
and now a few outtakes because i had a tough time choosing just one...
