The Present Day

Let's stop playing catch-up. Just the idea that I haven't posted since February is exhausting to think about, and that last post was about October... So. Here are a bunch of pictures with little explanation until we arrive at the present. Ready, go!

Can you handle this outfit?!?!?
Witten had a fun habit for a while of napping for about an hour in his crib, then crying until he was picked up and then napping for at least another hour in a parent's arms. He's lucky he's cute!

Breaking in Dad's new motorcycle gloves
Chilling after a nap



Sometimes you bring your mom five shirts and a sweater, one at a time, and insist that she help you put each one on...

My little hipster found Daddy's winter hat
35 Weeks Pregnant
In other news, Blogger sucks for uploading videos! How am I supposed to demonstrate Witten's dexterity with a spoon, fork, and cup?

How can I provide you with a sample of his beautiful singing voice? (He pulls out my piano books and turns through all the pages while "uh-ruh-ruh"-ing)

I also have a video of him almost crawling! For several months we have been doing physical therapy once a week because Witten never learned how to pull up, sit down, stand up, etc. He can now sit down, lie down, and stand up all on his own. He will also willingly bend his knees, has been known to spend a brief amount of time on his tummy, and is able to reach the toys he wants without having to always stand up. The video in question shows him on hands and knees, "crawling" for a toy with his head down on the ground. He has such a massive brain that it's too much hold up while crawling.

AND WE ARE CAUGHT UP!!

I make no promises about remaining on schedule, but here we are. Suffice it to say, we love our little twenty-month-old and are looking forward to our new addition in August. It's amazing how time is flying.
