D has teeth

Just another Friday morning breakfast with the family and I realized D has 2 teeth!  They came out of nowhere!

He has really started chowing down on food.  He lets you put spoon fulls of food in his mouth, but prefers to pick things up himself. He seems to enjoy gumming, and now chewing (!) foods rather than being spoon fed.

He has also started standing up all the time and walking along things, like the window sill or the train table.  Bad news, when he wakes up at night he sits up and has trouble laying back down without assistance, so he just criiiiiiiiiiiiiiies.  It is a bit exhausting to be getting up again after we were sleeping for long stretches for awhile.  They say not to get comfortable about infants sleep patterns, because as soon as they become predictable, something changes (ie. getting teeth) and it all mixes up again.

He is a very, very happy little dude and we think we like him. No, we really absolutely adore him.

The Aquarium is warm

We have a zoo membership and we have used it like crazy this fall.  Now that it is cold, one of my get-out-of-the-house plans is to go to the zoo, quickly jog up to the aquarium and take advantage of the open space with no other visitors to run and play. We went to the zoo on the first day of freezing weather and had fun eating lunch with the fish.
