All is well here. The weather will be gloomy and grey all week, but we plan on getting out to the library this week and have a fun playdate coming up.

F is all over the house with his "army man" crawl. He'll get up on his knees like he's going to crawl the "regular" way and then skips that and tries to get on his feet. He's determined to stand, but honestly he's not sitting up 100% on his own yet. Crazy baby :) He has a tooth on the bottom poking out now. He isn't liking sitting in the high chair at the table while we are eating... unless we share. He's been given apple and cantaloupe to play with. He's really enjoying gumming them, I think more for the new texture, taste and experience. His tongue thrust and lack of sitting completely on his own still put him in the "not quite ready for solid foods category". This is my favorite site for a baby-led introduction to solids.

L is wonderful and wild. This weekend we played on the playground while Papa hug out with a sleeping F. He wants to do everything all the time. He has so many ideas and plans and is doing a great job figuring out his place in the world. His imaginative play is so fun to listen to and he makes F laugh like no other.

Here are some pictures from our local playground, where tires were added this year:





There are also new pictures in October 2009. Halloween is included.
