Auntie B

Sully's Auntie B had to leave before everyone else got there, but got to spend some time with the little guy on Friday night and Saturday morning.

Sully also got to meet his cousin Piper.  She was such a good helper, and had fun feeding and holding Sully.

Sunday

Just thought we'd post a few pictures from the Sunday after the shower.  These folks stayed for the post-shower slumber party, and Grandpa Jon cooked a yummy breakfast to send everyone off.  

Sully takes a shower

Sully had a party last Saturday.  He wanted to say thanks and show you some photos.

He also wanted to point out how it was his looks that carried some of the shots.  Arrogant little guy, wonder where he gets it?

More pictures are available here:

Bath time

Today (Friday) was the first time we could give Sully a real bath.  It took both of us to do it properly, so the only photos are after the event.  He seemed to enjoy it.  Well, ok, maybe not enjoy, but he didn't scream the whole time.  This is definite progress from the sponge baths.

He celebrated being clean by peeing all over the bathroom.

Check out the hair. 

I've tried to tell him to pace himself.  At the rate he is growing and producing hair, he may peak too soon and end up short and bald by age 13!

Have kid, will travel...

We decided to show Grandma a little of downtown Seattle.  We started with shooters at Elliot's Oyster Bar, bought some fruit at Pike Place Market and then ended at the wonderful Chocolate Box.  Sully did fine, but Grandma got a little worn out!

It was a fantastic day for being out.

The market is full of characters.

The beautiful Kris Ann (and Sully too!)

A dog photo in honor of the Trisler's new pup Townsend.

I snapped this right before we headed home.

Welcome Grandma Patty

Grandma Patty arrived last Saturday from Nashville for a visit with Sully.  She is going to be with us until the end of February.  We are very happy to have the help, and the company.  Not only does she help with Sully, but she cooks and does laundry!  

Best of all, Sully gets to spend lots of time on her lap.  That makes both baby and Grandma happy. 

Mystery Gift

Kris Ann and I love a good mystery as much as anyone.  

So, when the gift in the picture showed up without a card, we looked forward to figuring our who arranged its arrival.  We worked through the night trying to determine which of our friends would be so thoughtful.  It was a long list.  By morning, we struck upon the idea of calling Bert's.  Multiple calls to multiple departments got us nowhere.

At this point, our bloodshot eyes can see no solution to this teaser, so we seek your assistance.  Please let us know which one of you kind-hearted souls was responsible.
