2/3 of a year!

I had fun at Kindermusik

Creeping backwards.

Swimming on the carpet trying to get somewhere.

Watching out the window as he stands.


Pulling Up.

Boyd is a wild man! Now 8 months old, he is adding to his list of skills. He has started to do push ups, pull ups, get into the crawling position, creep backwards and all around, pull hair even more, jump higher, attempt to swim on the carpet, etc. Boyd is in constant motion. His new loves are the running hose(especially lunging at the stream of water and making it spray in his face), water bottles, and watching the bees on our bushes out the window. On our flight back from Maryland, Boyd drank from the water bottle with success. He thinks he is big stuff now and of course we cheer for his gains. He remains the happiest baby ever. Boyd loves large crowds of people and being the center of attention- his smile creates quite a stir. Oh, the first picture was taken after his open house for kindermusik (Mom participated with Boyd as Dad observed)- Boyd loved kindermusik (especially the music's beat, dancing, the other kids, instruments, and Ring Around the Rosie).
