Kicking the Puppy! One morning we came into his room to find that he'd wedged himself into the upper corner of his crib. We had to move the baby monitor out of the upper left corner. He still likes to scoot up and bang his feet on the puppy (hit the bow tie and he plays "B-I-N-G-O").

Liz calls this "exceeding the cuteness quotient." Her friend at work (and the daughter of Chris' babysitter) keeps saying that she'll trade us for him. Sorry, Eileen. We'll keep him. |

Ahh, the flexibility of youth. Chris has just recently dicovered that he has fingers and feet. Both have proved to be very tasty. |
In fact, fingers are so tasty that he goes cross-eyed over them. There are times when he crosses his eyes that it's almost impossible to look at him without wincing. Drives both Liz and grampa Jerry nuts. |

No Comment needed. :) |
The Hair Twins. As you can see from photo page 1, Chris was born with a lot of dark brown hair. He's slowly gotten rid of most of it except for one small strand on his left temple. The rest has grown in lighter (and I almost think, redder). It's so light that it's hard to tell what his real hair color is going to be. I had very light sandy hair when I was young and it's gradually darkened until it's almost black. Who knows what's in store for Chris. |

Lean on me... when you're not strong... Chris loves to stand but he has no coordination whatsoever (hey, c'mon, he's only six months old). I've tried leaning him forward a little bit but he hasn't yet gotten the concept of putting a foot out to balance himself. he just leans and leans and leans until we're kissing the floor. |
Flirt! I'm surprised to see him smiling in this one. Chris hates his snowsuits. He hates being strapped down and hates being boxed in. My mom has several stories of me as a child. If she left the back yard gate open, I stayed there and played quietly. The minute she closed the gate, I was over the fence and down the street. Maybe it's genetic. |

Hat Boy! Grampa Denny's hat proved to be very entertaining. Chris kept trying to get it off his head and into his mouth. He missed consistently. |
Bath time. Chris can be kind of mercurial to his baths. Some times he's quiet and playful. Other times he screams endlessly. Ear plugs come in handy. One secret weapon we have: bedtime bath soap. It has a hint of lavender that sooths and helps babies relax enough to make it easier for them to fall asleep. |

This is another "exceeding the cuteness quotient" outfit. At the moment we're ingesting a scrupmtious dinner of green beans. |
Time to snooze. :) |
