Two celebrations

Julian says:

Congratulations to the 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox!


And happy birthday, Grandma Jean!




In celebration, Julian would like to make a speech.



He also would like to offer a rousing round of applause.



And to raise a glass in celebration!



And finally, he just got a little overwhelmed.




So he decided to share some photos!

Going for a walk

Just one pic, taken with my cellphone yesterday as we were out for a walk:

5 months

Julian is five months old!

He weighs fifteen pounds. He can roll from his back to his front easily, but he doesn't seem interested in rolling the other way - he'd rather practice crawling. Of course he can't crawl yet, but he kicks and flails (it looks like he's swimming the butterfly) and looks like he really wants to be mobile. He's still wearing 3-6 month size clothes, but just barely. He makes a lot of noise, from the frequent pterodactyl screeches to the "I'm hungry" ah-da-da-ga-ga noise. Lately he's started flailing his arms and smacking things, instead of grabbing everything and stuffing it in his mouth, though he still does that too. He loves standing up (with help) and sitting up, and when he's sitting he grabs his toes and giggles. Best baby ever!

I put up a pic of Julian in the sweater I made him at my knitting blog.
