Lucky 7!

I took this photo to commemorate Richard's 7-month birthday. I think he was disappointed by the lack of cake, and decided to eat his seven instead.

Baby, It's Cold Outside!

Here are some pictures of us and the snow. Richard didn't seem to mind the cold, but he seemed unsure what he was supposed to do with the snow.

Getting Ready To Crawl

Here are some picture of Richard playing. I think he'll be crawling soon. Ted and I had better step up the baby-proofing operation...

Moving Up In the World!

All of the girls in Richard's "Young Moos" class have already moved out, and now Richard is following. I think he missed flirting with them. The new classroom has more space to crawl around in and better toys, so I think Richard is going to be pretty happy.

They Grow Up So Fast...

Richard has been making big gains this past month. He's rolling all over the floor, eating solid food (though he wasn't a fan of the peas), and sitting on his own. Friday when I picked him up from school, there he was, holding his own bottle. This morning, he has the beginning of his first tooth. Next week he'll want my car keys.

Six Month Stats

Richard went to the pediatrician's today. No sign of the heart murmur, yippee. He took his shots like a champ and doesn't need any more until June. For those of you interested in stats, he was 28.5 inches tall, 18lbs, and his head circumference was 43.5cm, putting him in the 97th, 65th, and 45th percentiles, respectively. Still on track for that basketball scholarship!
