First snow

It snowed a whopping 2" on Tuesday, which consequently, shut down the schools. That's what happens in the south where it snows only every few years. It was great, though, because that meant that Brian could stay home with us and watch the inauguration. I couldn't help but think that the snow was symbolic: like a clean slate. We're hopeful. Guthrie was rather disinterested in the snow. "Eh, big deal Dad."

But he did, of course, enjoy a snowy swing ride.

More pictures with cats

I can't resist taking pictures of Gus with our kitties. He just gets so excited when they're around and let him touch them.

The other day Posey had enough and swatted him on the head (no claws, don't worry). Guthrie just laughed. Uh oh. Watch out kitties, it's going to be a rough couple of years once he can chase you!

For now, we'll stick to cuddling.

Asleep?

Just kidding!

Boy genius?

Ummmm....maybe Juliard will need to wait a couple years until Johann Sebastian Guthrie can figure out which way to hold a piano.

Mama's hat

After yanking my hat off, Guthrie decided to give it a try for himself...

Up on her throne

Guthrie loves our cats, Parker and Posey. Loves loves loves them. He always shouts this squeally laugh when he sees them and likes to, ummmm....we'll say, pet them if he's close enough. They're incredibly tolerant and don't seem to mind too much, but Posey's a bit smarter than Parker at staying a safe distance, while still satisfying her curiosity of this crazy miniature human.

Oh my gosh mom- it's a KITTY!

New swing

Need some album cover art? We recently attached a swing for Guthrie (thanks Alyssa!) to the porch of the studio and he loves it! Although windy, the weather's been nice enough to be outside a bit, so we try to get out at least once a day for a nice swing.

This picture makes it seem like he's going super high (maybe to Guthrie it is), but it's not really.

Wow, this is fun.

And finally, of course, nothing is safe from the chew monster- and even though it's hard to tell, this is mid-swing. This kid has amazing capacity to chew in all settings.
