A fun-loving guy

A lot of people have observed that Wade is very serious. Some have inquired about his frequently furrowed brow. A few have suggested that he may be gravely concerned about the economy. There is some truth to this theory. Despite my advice to the contrary, Wade put nearly 90% of his IRA in GM stock, largely due to his affinity for the GMC Jimmy. He loves cars named after people.

But all that aside, I wanted everyone to know that occasionally Wade does cut loose. He enjoys a good time just as much as the next guy. Here is some visual evidence. In this video Wade performs one of his favorite activities. I call it the "Godzilla."



Usually he brings the animals to his mouth like a giant mutant lizard eating his prey, but he did not comply this time. I think we all had some fun, though.

Please accept my apologies for the amateur nature of the video. We do not have a tripod, so I had to surreptitiously perch the camera on the edge of the crib. The Godzilla requires me to have both hands free for spotting. Plus, Wade tenses up when he knows he's on camera. Fortunately the mobile avoided any permanent damage.

Back on the Blogging Bandwagon and a Sip 'n See...

Well, we are back. Many apologies for the long absence. Much has happened in the life of the Worthington clan over the past couple weeks. Let me catch you up, one post at a time...

Several weekends ago, a family friend hosted a "Sip 'n See" for me and Wade. Is anyone familiar with such a thing? I had never heard of it, but what a neat southern tradition it is! It's basically exactly what the name implies: an event where friends and family, particularly those who haven't had a chance to meet the new addition yet, can gather to "sip" on something to drink and "see" the baby! Genius! We had a great time!

Mama and over-stimulated, tired baby with the lovely hostess.

The tasty treats, so beautifully arranged!

Gorgeous tulips! Springtime is so refreshing!

My little man is tuckered out, but what a fantastic time we had! I highly recommend Sip 'n Sees to you all! Go forth and host one; it gives you a great excuse for a party :)
