A Helping Hand


Leaves!
Originally uploaded by lidowski_baby
Everyone needs an occasional helping hand. Recently we've been helping Joseph walk by holding onto his hand, but he takes steps alone when he forgets there is nothing to hold. Here he's walking through the leaves at John Bryan State park. We thought his ruddy cheeks and orange shirt complemented the color of the autumn leaves.


We also caught Joseph's steps on camera later this week. They may not be his first steps, but they're his first steps on camera! I made this week's video a little campy, so include some comments about the personal intro versus the classic title screen.

Just Come Closer and No One Will Get Hurt!


Come here Duck!
Originally uploaded by lidowski_baby
Aunt Rebecca visited for a wonderful time. She presented Joseph with this duck toy as an early birthday gift. It flaps mechanically when you push it forward. He played with it until he was too tired to make it work and cried. One sleepy time and some mommy cuddles later he was ok.

Joseph also enjoyed Squash, Rebecca's lovable black lab, and his kennel. The kennel provided excellent cruising support, and Squash accelerated learning the word "dog." Or "dah" as Joseph puts it. Fortunately he can say "pup" just like George taught him last month.

He also tried drinking from a cup solo recently, hence the video. I think it's the longest video we've posted so don't feel bad just watching a little bit. It's a lot of fun and wet baby mess.

He was also totally adorable today when I returned from work. I burst through the door and demanded to see my number one son. When I turned the corner, he knelt on a single knee with two "number-one" fingers thrust upward. An accident, I'm sure... or was it...

Mom Came for a Visit and Some Fun

My mom visited last weekend and everyone had a really great time. Heather and I saw 2 movies in the theater and went for a hike while mom watched Joseph. Mom helped a lot by wearing Joseph out all day long and even taking care of the poopy diapers. All I had to do was let her win at Scrabble! Here are some of the videos of Joseph having fun... sorry you didn't make it into the videos, mom.


Above: Joseph is happy to be swinging!

P.S. - She won at scrabble fair and square.
