Mr. Body

Two pics from the Halloween party are up.

Bubbles

I've uploaded nine new pictures to the gallery. I don't have time at the moment to add captions, so you'll have to imagine your own captions for the time being.

Drinking and Drawing

Justin has started drinking from his sippy-cup all by himself. You can tell that he is very pleased with himself between sips. We should be completely weaned off of the bottle in a week or two.

Also, I got him a ball to play with that will not roll under the furniture. He chases it around, then grabs it and hugs it as if to say "My Ball!" or "I love you ball."

We got crayons at the grocery and he did his first drawing. He prefers red.

Pictorial proof of all these things is available in the gallery.

There is no picture to be had but we think he has started saying "da-dy" on purpose. I think we're going to officially call it his first word.

Boy meets dog

I've uploaded four new pictures of Justin meeting Rachel and Jeremy's dog Duncan. They had a good time together.

Hot off the wire

OK, here is the Justin news.

He's weaned off of the breast and is drinking cow milk exclusively now. He doesn't seem to mind and we haven't had any problems.

Yesterday he had his one year well baby checkup. Everything looks good. He got 3 shots and was cranky today, but I expect he'll be over it by tomorrow. He is now 30 1/4" tall (62%), 19 lbs 13 oz. (9%), and 17 1/2" head size (7%).

He is able to pull up on the coffee table or his toybox. He's more willing to do it if I spot him, but I think in a few more days he'll be doing it with no problem.

We've added brushing his teeth to the nightly routine. So far, he hasn't been complaining about it.

I've added a new link to his new gallery. The first one was for the first year. From now on, new pictures will go into gallery 2.
