While we were sitting around....

...waiting out the hurricane, guess what he figured out?

Big ghost, little owl

The New! Improved! Baby!

In the past few weeks, he's learned how to take a few steps on his own, wave bye-bye, point at things, and climb down off of things (thank goodness).

In the past few DAYS he's learned how to hold a cell phone to his ear, tell us he's hungry ("num-num-num-num"), clap his hands and pretend to put his shoes on.

Next up, driving:

"Stop. I am commandeering this vehicle. You, Sir, are too big for it."

"Heehee, see? I am a much better fit."

"Now watch my newest stunt: driving while STANDING UP. Don't try this at home, kids."

"What, you don't like my driving? Get outta heah."

Block party 2012!

There was street hockey and wagon rides and a potluck (not pictured, something to do with trying to balance a baby and a plate of brisket and not being able to take pictures at the same time) and more wagon rides. And friends!
