Michael does some stair-climbing ...

... and some peeking.

He found the Tupperware cabinet.

Wrestling with his "doggie" (Halloween costume).

Wow -- a fountain!

Visiting Daddy at work.

Impressed with Daddy's corner office.

In Reston Town Center.

More lid silliness.

Michael is a young Wahoo.

Pointing out "Michael's UVA."

In Michael's own words: "Milk, mmm. Orange dooce, mmm."

Proud of a hard day's work.

Two paper grocery bags ...

... provided a whole afternoon of fun.

Andrew and his hilarious hat.

Swinging buddies ...

... and sliding buddies.

Sweater-in-diaper is the new look.

Michael the plumber.

What? Mommy didn't say anything.

Not so sure about this costume.

Michael growls like a dog ...

... and makes the best of it.

All ready for Halloween!

Barbara walks with Michael ...

... to get a treat in the store.

Mommy and Michael on Halloween.

Michael learns that Halloween candy is for sharing.

Looks like he missed one.

The intrepid playground-goer.

Scared of walking on the wood chips.

The swing makes it all better.

Michael even tried the little slide.

Eighteen months old!

This can't end well.

Making our way up the trail to Blue Hole.

Andrew takes the easy way up.

Mike at the wrong pool.

Kellan holds the mountain together.

A hickory tussock moth caterpillar creeps up on us.

Mike huffs and puffs and blows the mountain down.

Andrew does some rock-climbing.

Making sure his changing mat has enough leaves on it.

Mmm ... yummy stick ...

Andrew shows his dad where to shoot.

One fine daddy.

Mommy and Daddy's day off.

Already embarrassed by his parents.

Bouncing on his knees.

More cute Michael.

On the front stoop.

Doing some bouncing with Pappy.

Michael shows Grandma where the ducks are.

Michael takes off!

More swinging with Grandma.

With Pappy on a walk.

Michael loves to walk outside.

So far the gates are still working.

This is why ...

... I don't pay other people ...

... to try taking Michael's portrait.

Finding Mommy's hiding place.

Sondra + Baby Williams.

Mary is thrilled.

Sondra's baby shower.

More guests at the shower.

Mommy-who-is and Mommy-to-be.

College friends, almost ten years later!

Michael tries on Mommy's headband.

Wheeee!

Can Michael walk in the grass?

Wowed by a bicycle.

Gotta test all the grass.

Sweet Michael.

A little braver in the grass.

Yay! Grass is fun!

A congratulatory flip from Daddy.
