Get up, get up, and get down.

Milo is now an official baby, and not just an infant: he crawls, he eats baby food, and he pulls himself up to standing on various objects around the house:

Of course, this provides many opportunities for falling down, of which he has taken ample advantage.

Dr. Teeth!

We've been trying to get a decent picture of Milo's two teeth to post, but it hasn't been easy. Oh, sure, when we're not aiming a lens at him he shows them off constantly, but try to record it on 'film' and he thwarts us every time. Here's an example where he's smiling away with his mouth open, but his tongue is covering his teeth:


So after that happened a bunch of times, we tried pulling his lip down and exposing his teeth. Sometimes this merely failed ...


... and sometimes it failed embarrassingly:


So after all that, we have two pictures on offer. One of the lip-pulling-down variety:


and one where we've captured a still from a video shot just for this purpose:


Next up: genuine crawling!

Catching some Zs

Milo has this odd habit of sleeping with his butt in the air.


In his crib, it's even cuter, as he's usually pressed into the corner as if he had been desperately trying to escape and only fell asleep after digging at the wall with a spoon for a few hours:

C'mon baby, do the locomotion

He hasn't quite figured out crawling, but he's getting close.

Milo's first Halloween

Milo's daycare had its Halloween 'parade' today: the kids got dressed up, and the adults pushed, carried, and walked the kids up and down the block while the parents hovered around them like camera-wielding jackals.

This sort of thing is my bag, baby

Milo's parents give him the best toys ...

Belated video: Milo turns over edition

This is probably about a month overdue. On trying to imitate it, I find that his technique requires strong core muscles.
(Thanks for the video, Dad!)
