Nara and Tracy's New York Wedding

Congrats to Nara and Tracy! Ryan's fourth and final roommate from his time in New York got hitched last weekend, to a wonderful woman named Tracy in a beautiful ceremony in a downtown photography studio with views over Manhattan. Adam and Rachel were kind enough to host us in their apartment for the weekend (and babysit Spencer!), so we had a fantastic couple of days-- brunch with bay area ex-pats on the patio, and afternoon under cherry blossoms in Central Park, a glamorous evening of dining and dancing, and a mini-Williams reunion in the lower East Side.

Bongo Drummer Prodigy

While we were in New York, Adam took Spencer on as his musical protege. Spencer shows some serious promise as a bongo drummer.


"Can you feel the rhythm, mon?" (read with a Bob Marley accent)


With a smile like that, how can we resist getting Spencer his own bongo drum...?


The master and the pupil. (Does this guy look like he knows how to play the bongo drums or what?!)

Modeling Naomi's Sweater

Naomi Baskin, an Experience Corps volunteer that Eunice has gotten to know over the years, knit a fantastic sweater and hat for Spencer when he was born. Now he's finally big enough to wear it! Despite Eunice's best efforts to get Spencer to model the entire outfit, he kept insisting on taking the hat off, sometimes with hilarious results...


Doing Laps Around the Coffee Table

Spencer has started "cruising", which means he's started walking around on his own - with the help of a large object to lean on! With a little incentive, he does a few somewhat distracted and mostly successful laps around our coffee table each day. Click on the photo below to see two videos of Spencer in action...

Central Park with Charlie

After a cloudy weekend, the sun finally came out today! Spencer's friend Charlie (and Charlie's mom Sarah), came over to play.


We got bento box lunches to go and went to Central Park for a picnic. Charlie and Spencer have only hung out a few times but share a lot in common.


What fun to see them interact with each other - babbling, smiling, and even hand holding... :)

Spencer's Belly Laugh


Spencer cracks everyone up at a dinner party with his belly laugh as Grace and Eunice speculate whether or not his glee comes from throwing the box of chai on the floor. Turns out the cause of his manaical laughter is Grace's hair flipping down each time she bends over to pick up the box!




Eunice and her mom find yet another source of belly laughs for Spencer: sneezing!

Mamie and Cora's Visit

After getting back from Catalina Island, we had an unexpected visit from Eunice's childhood friend, Mamie, who flew in from Taiwan for a grad school interview, and a much anticipated visit from Eunice's former Boston roommate, Cora. Spencer had a great time getting to know these two Aunties!


Spencer and Mamie show off their cool hats.
