Just some pictures

In late September we took a trip to Dallas to see Papa Doc & Mary.  The highlights were that we got to see a LOT of family, TE had a stomach virus (which led to many wardrobe changes), and he slept for an entire 3 hours Saturday night.  


This is our version of "Where's Waldo", except that you should be looking for Mason & Thomas.  Here's a hint: TE is busy spreading his viral cooties on Mason's toys. 


Ahhh, Late Afternoon, Day 1 of the trip.  Total nap time: Zero hours, minutes or seconds.  Even with baggy eyes he's still cute though. 

Papa Doc, Addy, TR and TE (minus cute outfit that he arrived in).

Papa Doc, Nana, TR, TE and TE's belly.  It's hard to tell, but his Nana is pretty happy to be with him.  In case you're wondering why everyone is looking in different directions, it's because there are about 15 people taking pictures.  It's a Copeland tradition to take at least 100 pictures/hour.  

Papa diagnosed TE with Flintstone-atitis in both feet.

Uncle Scot, Papa Doc, TR, Mason, Tyson and TE.  Talk about a wild bunch.

This is just a random blurry picture in the bunch.  TE's expression is great.  Somebody must have said "Wubba wubba".  For some reason he laughs when we say that to him.  It must mean something in babyese.

The long ride home from Dallas.  TE is tired of the paparazzi (see Copeland Tradition above).  You can see all of the bags under his eyes.  Even though nobody got any sleep on Saturday night, we all slept like rocks on Sunday. 
 
Another random bath-time picture in his new tub.  It was working fine for everyone until he started standing.  Now it's practically impossible to keep him in the water.  Every piece of baby gear we have has a ridiculous harness system.  However, the bathtub that is wet, soapy and incredibly slippery, seems to have slipped through the harness installation department.  On the bright side, my arms get a great workout every bath night.  Trying to hold on to a soapy wiggly creature isn't easy. 

No, we haven't started baby proofing yet.

Ha!!! I love the last photo and its caption.
Little T is really growin' some hair, eh? Plus (previous sentence notwithstanding), he's starting to look a LOT like Thomas Senior. What a cutie!

I really like the depth of field on the closeup of TE with Papa's house in the background.. nice! Are you guys still using the Canon?

I wish I had been there! looks like it was fun.

Yep - we're still using the Canon. That picture is a happy accident, seeing as I can't get past page 3 of the manual. Oh, and our memory card is, as we say in TX, done broke.

KO - When TE grows up, I know he will always be able to turn to you & Burke for sage Halloween costume advice:) Of course, being the lion that he was, I felt that he was a more literal part of the GNR theme. You know, "Welcome to the Jungle". Wah wah wah.
