Family Time!

2009-06-13T10:51:00.000-07:00

The Sinkfords flew in from Boston for some much needed family time. We
had a blast. On our way to the Powell family reuinion in Oregon on the
coast. The Wonks just flew for the first time and did great!

Outside!

2009-04-06T11:45:00.001-07:00

The wonks has taken the bay area parks by storm. Full crawling and
today we walked together for the first time! So much fun, and so
scary......

will is crawling!!!' and Teething!!!!!

2009-03-09T19:02:00.001-07:00

The Wonks(as he is known around the house) is definitly crawling. It is not pretty but it is forward motion. Half interpretive dance half mixed martial arts, his crawling skills are yellow belt/way off broadway at best. It is fun to watch him develop and help him out.
Also of note he has 2 bottom teeth coming in..... A lot of pain for the Wonks, but he is struggling through just fine.
The above Park photo's are Will at his happiest, flying high in the big boy swing. 8 months sure goes by in a blink.

He loved it!

Thanksgiving Walk

2008-12-02T13:04:00.000-08:00

Just a sweet photo of the family over the holiday weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-29T07:08:00.000-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving from the Sinkford clan! As you can see Will is into some cool new stuff, he can hand out in this cool chair that helps him sit up of his own. Will is also into going on walks in his backpack. Daddy loves the backpack, it is much more comfortable than the front carrier. Dinner was low key, just Geoff and Verity and us. It has been nice to escape the city and spend some time with family. I will get some more Thanksgiving photo's up soon.

Guys day out

2008-11-29T07:00:00.000-08:00

Our friend Brendan came over to visit Will and we had a little guys day out. Will went to a few places that baby's probably are not allowed, but no one said anything. We stopped to get some food and Will sat up in the booth by himself! (kind of) At any rate he is getting close to sitting up and is eating more solid food now.

What?

2008-11-17T18:58:00.000-08:00

Will all snuggled up in his ducky towel. It just looks so funny. He is actually super tough though...

The Rat Tail Grows....

2008-11-14T10:47:00.001-08:00

The rat tail continues to grow almost as quickly as will himself. Will had his 4 month check up and is now 18 pounds, 27 inches! That is the 97th percentile.

A quick photo update

2008-11-14T10:37:00.001-08:00

A little update. Will is using his hands a ton. Grabbing just about everything. He can hold his own bottle and binky, although a little bit clumsily. Dad and son in PJ's and will in his first cycling cap given to us by good friends in new york Kevin and Amy.

Almost Crawling!

2008-11-07T11:27:00.001-08:00

Every day Will gets a little closer, I have a feeling it is going to
happen within a few weeks if not sooner.
In other news, the move went well and we are getting settled into our
new home. It already feels more cozy than the Fillmore!

OBAMA!!!!

2008-11-07T06:52:00.000-08:00

Just in case there are folks scourging the internet for evidence of voter fraud, I feel like this photo should come will the following disclaimer: No, my baby did not vote, he’s just wearing the sticker. That said, Wee-Willy helped me fulfill my democratic right to vote by being a charming little prince while I Obama’d it up. However, his presence did dampen the voting experience for a few others. This was thanks to a really nice, yet loud Russian woman from our old building who has a tendency to touch Will’s face a lot and talk to him in a sweet yelling voice, if there is such a thing. She was working the poll and while I put my ballots into the voting machine she went through her usual banter animated by pokes into Will’s cheeks. “Oh, ya! Baby! Russian, russian, biiiiig boy, russian, russian! Baby! Ya!” Will really digs her. This went on for several minutes which allowed me a lot of time to ponder those voting machines. How do they work? Why does it not matter which side of the ballot faces up or if it gets put in backwards? Or, does it matter and I just didn’t get the proper instructions from the nice loud lady because she was too busy sweetly poking my child in the face? Regardless, my fellow Americans did not appreciate the disruption to their concentration while they went through their five pages of alphabetized and numerical choices (gotta love California!). As we left, she was being forced into taking a break outside by her fellow volunteers. For a second I got nervous she’d follow us to the car, but instead she just waved with A LOT of enthusiasm and yelled “I love democracy!” Totally.

Happy Halloween

2008-11-01T09:55:00.000-07:00

Little Will had a mellow Halloween helping his parents pack up for the move. He is super strong flinging boxes around left and right. No trick or treating this year for Will, but next year he'll be knocking on your door for sure.

Lots of Visitors

2008-11-01T09:45:00.000-07:00

Little William is a popular little guy. Many of our friends have come by to take a gander at him. Of course everyone, gets a snapshot taken. Will is almost crawling, grabbing at the ground and trying to pull himself along. Any time now he will figure it out. When that happens we are in trouble. Mobile Will is going to be terrifying! We can't wait.....

Firsts.....

2008-10-27T11:56:00.000-07:00

This last week has been a week of firsts for little Will. He held his
own bottle and today he went to sleep in his baby gym all by himself.
I don't know if that means he is just bored of the gym or of he is
starting to learn to sleep when he is exausted. Katy and I hope he is
learning to put himself down.
Everyday he is becoming more aware of his surroundings. Such a
wonderfull boy!

A very happy boy!

2008-10-26T09:07:00.001-07:00

We just can't stop laughing!

On the go!

2008-10-25T22:05:00.001-07:00

If this works I can post pictures and text from my iPhone on the go.
Unbelivable technology. If it works that is.........

Packing it in!

2008-10-24T22:00:00.000-07:00

This week has been a busy one, The clan is moving to a new apartment. Grandma Verity and Aunt and Uncle Allison and Greg all stopped by to help out and say hello. The packing is getting there and katy and I are not getting stressed about the move.

Katy had her first full week back at work, and although tiring she handled it pretty well. Will and I spent all day today lifting boxes and moving furniture, he is really strong. I don't know how he managed the bookshelf and give me a foot rub at the same time. Truly an amazing little lad. Packing is the agenda for the weekend, hoping to get everything ready to rock for the move.

Trinity Vacation

2008-10-23T22:40:00.000-07:00

Katy and I Took a vacation up to the Trinity Alps a few weeks ago to unwind before Katy went back to work. We had a fantastic time up in the Alps hanging out with Will. He loved being outside and would stare up at trees and just giggle. Many times the three of us lay on the grass and just cracked up together. We really needed a break from the city and enjoyed every moment away. Katy is back at work now and Will is in daycare three days a week and hangs out with his dad Monday's and Friday's. I love getting to spend time with my little boy, and Katy gets home at 4, so afternoon family time is great!
