Bjorn protects his food with the threat of karate.

Bjorn protects his food with sad little (actually big) eyes.

Bjorn throws back a bottle after a tough day at daycare.

In the daffodils.

Bjorn awaits a push.

Is he mocking us?

With the warmer weather, Bjorn has enjoyed outdoor dining.

He is not always happy with the menu selection.

Sometimes he has to tilt his head for a closer look (at what? we're not sure).

Bjorn twirls his drumstick in between jamming on his drum.

Bjorn shows complete indifference to an adorable sheep dog puppy.

Bjorn attacks.

You're about to get slobbered on.

I'm pretty sure Bjorn could make a lot of money as a panhandler.

In his crib.

Up.

Bjorn gets a whiff of my hockey equipment.

Bjorn checks to see if his crib is edible.

Bjorn shows he is ready for more food.

No wait! not apples! (he prefers squash to all other foods).

When he gets his teeth, one of us might lose a finger trying to feed him.

Megan and Bjorn.

Bjorn and Lars.

After Looney Tunes educated Bjorn about the danger of falling pianos, he looks up in terror whenever he hears the swoosh of air. Nothing but false alarms so far, but I told him you can never be too careful.

Bjorn has all his best ideas while eating, I think this is the moment he realized he has a tongue.

He has been sticking it out ever since.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Bjorn is already practicing for his first day of school.

Passed out.

Just sitting.

His face changes a bit when he is unhappy.

A more peaceful time.

Sometimes he is ticklish.

Spring flowers.

Bjorn had a visit from his Nonni and Nono.

Nonni and Nono watched Bjorn for the weekend while Megan and I went to Chicago. Photos from our trip: Sunset in St. Joseph, Michigan; The "Aqua" building in Chicago; Megan near the Cloud Gate; Tulips along the Magnificant Mile; The view from the Sears/Willis Tower; Megan walking across the bridge at Millennium Park.

Who needs friends to play with when you have a mirror?

The sound of one baby clapping.

Peekaboo.

True genius.
