Houston, We Have Lift-Off! Jack is Walking!

Sean Helps Jack Practice Walking

Enjoying His New Umbrella

Many thanks to Grandma & Grandpa!

La Passeggiata. Texas-style.

Jack is ready for his ride around the block.  And Sean is ready to take his new tricycle out for a spin.

A Thursday With Momma

I've been working a lot (so it feels), and Sean has been missing me. So I decided that we would spend thursday together. We went to the Children's Museum where we hadn't been in ages and then had lunch with Daddy. In this video, Sean walks down the ramp very gingerly because of the decline which he's not used to.

A Walk to the Park

After Hurricane Ike passed through, we had nice, cool weather. So we decided to enjoy the park. Off to feed the ducks!

The ducks enjoyed our Gorilla Munch, but now it's Sean's turn to snack. Or as Sean says, "Nak!"

We went up the stairs and down the slide at least a dozen times...

Waiting for Good Dinner

Grandma and Grandpa visited for Matthew's birthday and took us out for a delicious dinner. Sean's first course consisted of strawberries, blueberries, calamari, and shrimp. Although it was tasty, Sean didn't like the cocktail sauce and made a face with that cringe-wiggle he does. As always, while we were waiting for the main course to arrive, Sean and I checked out the scenery outside.

Oh, the Toys!

Sometimes the best toys aren't available at the toy store, like Grandpa's cane.

Figuring out his new "pop-pop" toy.

La Passeggiata

Well, it was actually this afternoon. We took a walk around the courtyards of our apartment complex. I've been trying to find a nice park/playground for toddlers. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Keys!

Walking!

Today was the first day that Sean walked more than he crawled. He walked around holding different toys and followed me from room to room. I guess the toy in hand helps since he doesn't want to put it down to crawl. He's still working on his balance though, and sometimes falls backward onto his bottom. But we get back up again...

C.S.I.

Sean and I went with my friend Greer to check out the C.S.I exhibit today. Here we are admiring the garden while we are waiting outside.

Yay! Greer's phone!

After lunch, we went to The Cookie Jar for a sweet treat. (This is why I am not a good example of how breastfeeding helps moms lose the pregnancy weight faster.) While I indulged my sweet tooth, Sean enjoyed the play area.

Two-Steppin'!

We went to the library today for nursery rhymes and to hang out with the other babies. Sean took his first two steps there today! He was standing in the middle of the rug amongst the rest of the babies, when he took two little steps. Today the library, tomorrow the world!

If you click on the top picture, you can see Sean's new shoes which are an homage to his guitar-rockin' Daddy!

Hello, Nine Months!

Let's Go!
