Yesterday afternoon, I took advantage of being in Mobile (read: location where I get to use my Dad’s camera!) to take on both kids at the same time for a photo session.
Will enthusiastically held Kate. He showers his sister with love and sweetness, some of which I am trying desperately to capture on film. He did his best to prop her up, hold her head, or tickle her as he thought was necessary. Many of these techniques involved (unintended) manuvers usually reserved for future sybling torture, like headlocks. Kate handled it all extremely well.
Kate back-handed him during a particularly spastic moment, one that caught Will completely on surprise. 
I tried to get some good naked-baby butt shots of Kate in the beautiful initial-sewn bloomers sent from Aunt Gwen. I fear that the full-effect of the bloomers won’t be photographically captured until she can sit unsupported. But check out that head control!
(Will wanted to make sure we got his foot in the picture. He was very insistent.)
When Kate got a little fussy (gassy), Will also became Very Upset. He gave Kate lots of kisses to fell better.

Will looks like a vampire in the first few photos! Definite keepers! 🙂

hehe — Those teeth! Like me, he has high-set teeth and his upper lip covers his teeth, so no big teethy grins. From the right angle, this makes his incisors stick out below the rest and he totally looks like a little vampire. (Don’t tell him that, though. We’re trying to get through the “I’m a tiger with big teeth” phase…)
