It's Getting Cold

It's starting to get pretty cold. I made Paul a hat and some reversible fleece pants, and I'm working on the matching jacket. I also have material for another hat. I made the hat he's wearing in this picture.

Paul finally got "peekaboo" today. I've tried it with him a couple of times in the past few weeks, and when I covered my face with a blanket or anything else he just looked away. Today though, I was putting a turtleneck sweater on and said, "where's Paul? Where did he go?" and when I popped my head through I said, "peekaboo!" and he started laughing like crazy. I tried to get it on video later, but he gets really distracted by the camera. Hopefully in the next few days I'll remember to get the camera when he's less distractable.

Ready for His Close-up

He's getting close to figuring out how to go from laying on his tummy to sitting up. He's in the middle stage now where he lays and plays on his side. He reminds me a little of George Castanza in Seinfeld when Kramer takes his photo for the 1-hr photo lady.

Bumbo and Blocks

Today I got this toy set of colorful blocks that he can sort into the right hole. Right now he knows that the round one goes into his mouth, and the triangle goes into his mouth, and the star... well, you get the picture. I also got him this "Bumbo" that helps him sit up better by himself.

Paul Grants and Interview

I could listen to Paul's voice all day. Well, except when he's sleeping that's mostly what I do.

Paul and Seamus share some common interests, like the outdoors.

Scooting

Ok, so I haven't really been so "daily" with my posts, but I'm trying. Anyhow, here's today's:

Paul is really scooting around now. If he sees something he wants across the room he'll go get it. This afternoon I got his bottle ready and put it on the floor next to me. He scooted right up when he saw it. It's awesome.
