Niall's first attempt with his new bouncy swing

Niall had a blast today playing in his new swing. Within 5 minutes of Dad hanging it in the doorway, Niall had it figured out - swinging and bouncing and laughing. He's going to have some strong little legs soon!
You takin' pictures of me?!

Niall is all dressed up and ready for a night on the town!

Here's Niall getting all dressed up in his new corduroy pants & a fresh polo shirt. He loves going out to dinner with Mom & Dad - especially if it's a busy, noisy restaurant. The noisier the better!
Of course, Niall gets a lot attention when he goes out in public. The most popular comment from his many fans -- "look at all that hair!"

Niall gets babtized at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit - Alabaster, AL March 23, 2008

Here's Niall before the service - wearing his handmade bonnet & gown that his Grandma Fowler made him for the special day. Mom is rubbing his eyebrows trying to lull him to sleep -- and it worked! Niall slept through the whole service right up until he felt someone putting something cold & wet on his forehead. He woke up, let out a little cry and went right back to sleep.
