Saturday Morning

Well Obie is doing good. He has lost all of his baby features and looks more like a toddler now. Its a sad day in Obie history. Obie does have a few new additions to his arsenal of baby skills. He has perfected the arts of speed crawling, climbing on all furniture, begging, faux crying, sneaking, and getting hand prints where no human could before. Oh. And he also has this extra sensory perception that triggers whenever Mommy and Daddy entertain the thought of Alone-Time. But yes, he is a healthy, happy baby. In other news, we do have several new pictures and movies that need to be uploaded, but unfortunately what I thought was a move to newer technology, i.e. the move to Vista, has created a barrier between me and those pictures. My computer instantly detects the memory card and thinks it needs a complete format, making it impossible to get my media off of the card. I will have to find another way to get to them.

Sorry guys.

I know its been a slack job I've been doing on this blog, but when life gets going, things get left behind. Obie is doing great as far as development. Already 8 and a half months old, he can already stand, likes to try to eat everybody else's food, takes drinks out of actual glasses and if the mood takes him, out of his sippy cup. He also still sleeps in our bed all night and likes to keep his hands above his head when he sleeps. A new development though, he can get up on his feet on his own, but has not figured out to lift the REST of his body into a standing position. He's getting there. Soon he will be walking. Another development is his temper and his tantrums. He takes well from both his mother and father. He throws a fit when he doesn't get to eat big people food and starts to pretend to cry. If that doesn't work, he scrunches his nose and does a sort of throaty growl. It really isn't effective, but VERY cute. I'll try to catch one on video. Check back soon. I need to post all the rest of the videos so I can clear off the camera for more pictures.

On a side note, I want to thank everyone who joined and is participating on the Geni website. The family tree is growing very big very fast and it would be great to get it even BIGGER. Just fill out your profile, upload some pictures of yourself and family (if this is a problem, email either myself or Celeste to have the picture uploaded) and add or update the Geni tree. Again if any assistance is needed, Celeste and I are available to assist. And be assured, no information is available to the public. I set all privacy settings to FAMILY ONLY, so this is by invite only. No one outside can access or see your information.
