If the Shoe Fits…Make Sure it’s Yours

April 9, 2010 Baby Photos

The Bear tried on Dad’s slippers the other day. It was of course adorable enough for a picture or eight. We’re first time parents… Everything is adorable enough for eight pictures and some video footage! I was thinking about how likely he was to fall over if he decided to try to walk, but he [...]

Birfday Bear

March 18, 2010 Baby Photos

Dear Bear Bear, You’re 19 months old today! And at 19 months, you’re a lean mean, (but not really mean) toddling, talking, grape-eating machine. You’ve seriously never met a grape you didn’t like.
