Like Father, Like Son

It appears we have a budding poker player on our hands. Also, today is Truman's monthiversary: 17 months old (almost 14 months corrected)! He decided to celebrate this milestone by taking his very first steps a couple of days ago. He just let go of his high chair and took two steps to his father at the dinner table!

Just doing some light reading.

I'm learning to walk, but I think it might be better if this took me somewhere.

Snow!

Truman kept himself entertained for a long time this morning by enjoying the falling snow.

Apba is telling me it's cold outside.

When I look out I see snow.

Do you see it?

Yeeek.... this is too neat.

Yikes... look at all that!


Ooooh. So much to see.

Snow is awesome!

Hey out there! I see you! Slow it down!

How do I get out there?

Kisses, snow!

Lunchtime Arts and Crafts

Apba is home for lunch, so we're making some art.

Um... no... I have no idea how my lips turned blue. Why?

Ta da!!!

Inauguration Day

I was there for the registering and the voting.... now I'll watch the inauguration with the people.

Flashback

Someone thought it would be funny to put Truman in a sleep sack after his bath tonight. Truman, good-natured as usual, went along with the plan.

Boy, I haven't worn one of these in awhile.

Ack. Who did this to me?

Alright, parents. You have your fun.... I'll just keep having mine. See ya!

Stick a Fork in Me

All eating still takes place with the fingers, but Truman is up for practicing with utensils now!

This fork is a fascinating piece of technology.

And the spoon isn't so bad, either.

Bye-bye Bottle

Today was Truman's very last bottle. From here on out, it's sippy cups only. Wish us all luck!

Mmm. Yummy formula.

Ah, refreshing.

I've gotten really good at drinking from a bottle. I'm such a big boy.

Big boys don't have to wear pants, right?

Truman's First Haircut

Okay, so technically, it's his second haircut (he had one when he was a few days old in the hospital). But, it is the first one he's getting because his hair is too long. We heard from some of you loyal readers, and yes, we agreed... it was getting a bit long... and in his eyes. So, we took action.

Hm. I wonder what this day will hold.

A fun surprise, I bet.



Something seems suspicious.

Now, look, I don't agree that my hair is too long just because it's past my eyes.

I'm sorry, wait, I can't see you through all the hair.

I protest!

What is going on here?! You never let me put pointy things that close to my face!




Oooooooh. All over, huh?

So that's it?

Well, apparently the back was still long.

Uh oh! Now Apba has the sharp things!

And that is what was taken off the back.

Here's the "after" shot. What do you think?

Speedster

Truman took a push toy out for a spin today. I think we're going to have to watch out when he gets his driver's license!

Someone has a hold of me, right?

Yeah! I'm off on my own!

What's the speed limit around here, anyway?


I am SO fast I have to close my eyes!

Don't leave me hangin' people. That was awesome!

Mealtime Adventure

Drinking from a cup is awesome.

Budding Artist

Truman took and his (brave) father tackled an art project today.

These are stamps.... but they're more fun to look at than use.

Or, maybe I'll try on the concrete.

Umm... you try it first.

Okay, I'll try it. But this was not my idea.

Happy 2009!

Why not start the year off with more eating adventures?

What might this be?

Oh yes... blueberries... my favorite.

I'd call this a successful meal. My arm will be forever purple.
