Play group

Now that he's old enough to enjoy interacting with other little ones, we're having baby playgroups with some of his buddies from swim class.

Boxed lunch

Being slid around the floor in a box is fun! Being fed by Daddy is fun! Put the two together, and what do you get? Box-car lunch:

Shiny!

Bathtime

Ready to take a bath! (He loooooves splashing around in the water.)

Helping in the kitchen

I needed to make dinner on kind of a tight schedule, with no one else home, and my little sous chef was very eager to be in the kitchen with me (rather than, say, take an afternoon nap). Here he is playing with the roasting pan and spaghetti squash skin after I scraped out the good stuff.

"Reading" to himself

Playing

stuffed parrot, meet rainbow soccer ball:

I especially wanted to post this picture for the friend who made the textile that's hanging directly behind him (which also hung on the wall as a focal point during childbirth).

5 teeth

I finally got a picture of some more teeth. All at once around Valentine's day he got three more coming in: on the bottom to the right of the original two, and the two top middle teeth.

Family dinner with Uncle Mylo

Grandma Ellen!

Independently on the move

He has been cruising along adjacent furniture (from couch to desk to low table to rocking chair . . .) as well as walking with the assistance of a chair that he can push around.
