the wf parade and k's scrunchy-nose face

we went to the wake forest parade today. kendal appeared to enjoy this one more than the rolesville parade. he clapped, waved, and danced (without our prompt) for this show on the road... he especially liked the wakefield high school band, who stopped right in front of us to play a song. one day, kendal will be marching in a band - i can just tell. he has a good beat even at 15 months!

kendal and dad doing a little walking practice before the parade:

look! there are actually pictures of me this time!

kendal was trying to share his lorna doones (the pre-parade don't-get-too-bored-and-start-fussing snack).

view of the start from the red head's point of view!

kendal cheering on one of the 100 groups of boyscouts that marched in the parade!

when the parade was nearly over, i started packing up our stuff and nathaniel held kendal. kendal noticed a strange man-in-black standing behind us watching the parade and started making this face at him. neither of us had ever seen this face... but it reminded me of grace's lion "rooaaar" face she did when she was about kendal's age at the house in dixon - when mom would sit on the stairs and scare her. remember it? melissa if you have a picture of her doing that (digitally, i think back then we were still using film) - please send it to me and i'll post it on here with these!

check out that set of harris nostrils!!! :)

ps the hair is all flat because #1 the humidity is low, and #2 he had on a hat for about 10 minutes - just enough time to remove all the curl and make for some eric-stahl-after-the-game hair (minus the sweat)!
