special gift

My Grandmother had this chair as a little girl. She passed it down to Daddy and now she's given it to me! What a special gift!

mobility

Mommy never posted the milestone of crawling. I began crawling in November and have become quite good at getting anywhere I want to go. In late December I began pulling up to cruise on the furniture. Now I've taken it to the next level! Last week I took two steps from Daddy to Mommy! Three days ago I took ten steps across the playroom! I'm learning to keep my balance and make slow steady moves. Mommy captured a little on video. Enjoy!

MLK, Jr. holiday

Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday afforded Mommy a day off! Daddy had to go to work so Mommy and I spent a special day together. It began with fruit and a Handy Manny marathon!


After breakfast we played downstairs so Mommy could get some housework done. The unfortunate incident of the day was that I ate the band-aid that Mommy put on the finger that got smashed in the recliner. Dr. Waldo's nurse assured her that all is well and she would see it again in 24 to 48 hours. She knew I was fine because I heartily ate my chicken and pasta for lunch and took all my bottles for the day.
In the afternoon we played upstairs and I had so much fun that I skipped my afternoon nap!

All in all it was a great day! I look forward to the weekend so we can spend more special time together. Mommy is learning that accidents will happen and to make better decisions regarding patient care!

boo boo

Check out my ring finger. Yesterday I accidentally stuck it under Daddy's recliner and it got smashed. I cried really hard and Daddy held me until I fell asleep. He iced it to help the pain subside. Poor Nathan and poor Daddy!

10 months

I am 10 months old! Mommy and Daddy can hardly believe how fast I'm growing up. I weigh 25lbs. and measure around 31 in. in length. I have learned to move quickly by crawling. I also love to pull up and walk around with the assistance of furniture or a parent. Maggie isn't keen on allowing me to use her for support. She does however enjoy opportunities for me to eat puffs! The newest development is my first tooth! I've struggled with teething for a couple of months and yesterday one of the bottom teeth broke through my gums. I'm getting to be such a big boy!

biter biscuit

I am learning to enjoy biter biscuits. For some reason Maggie only pays me any attention when I have one! Go figure...

baby's first Christmas

I was a very good boy this year! I enjoyed my first Christmas and was showered with toys from my family and friends. I happened to be more interested in the bows and tissue paper, but Mom helped me unwrap my gifts. All in all it was a wonderful and exhausting week.
