More Christmas photos - Kraus family portraits

Grandma and cousin Madison...


The womenfolk, plus Grandpa and William!

No way. NO WAY!

William is not even six months old! Mom is now on the phone with the childproofing service...



Don't worry, it is a very soft rug; no babies were harmed in the making of this video.

William drools on Madison's cool walker

Mmmm, delicious walker...



Cutie Madison does not seem to mind. What a good sharer!!

Christmas day at Pilar's, part 1

We celebrated Christmas at Aunt Pilar's home outside Atlanta.

Will was very excited because he got to try out Cousin Madison's cool stuff, like her exersaucer.


Mom was impressed with the lovely Christmas set-up.


Dad was excited because of the usual Kraus Family spread for Christmas, including the seafood plate that was heaped with crab and lobster claws!


William was also thrilled to have extreme close-ups taken.


Grandma Kraus was happy to have some quality time with the littlest grandchild.

It was a terrific day! More photos to come.

William poses as a rock star - thanks, Aunt Minette and Owen, for the shades!

It is hard to get William to laugh for the camera

So William has the best laugh, and we really wanted to share it with our blog fans, but our valiant attempts were fruitless in capturing the elusive chuckle...

Attempt #1: It was making him laugh really hard before we got the camera, we swear...



Attempt #2: Perhaps the pressure is a bit too much.



Christmas vacation photos remain to be uploaded - stay tuned. The webmaster is currently booked up with trying to restore our hero to his usual sleeping and eating schedule, not to mention trying to write much belated thank you notes and chapters on pediatric anxiety. We'll be back with you as soon as we can!
