Opening Day of Mariner's Baseball: Gus signals the runner

Trying to wear him out at the pier so he will finally go to bed

Coloring, sand eating at the beach, getting loved on

Gus' play buddy Sibbie (who is now 3!) is the most awesome.

March Visitors

Gus already misses his Uncle Allen and Aunt Jenny. He can't wait for more crawl races, sand eating, chess playing, and doing everything just like the big people. Thanks for teaching him how to get people's noses and he doesn't mind at all how you put on his diaper.

Whatchoomakin? Bathtub soup!

Eleven Months!

Gus Can:
Crawl very fast and so has found new ways to terrify his parents
Pull up and cruise on anything that even just seems to stand still or be solid
Say five words (semi-reliably)! His first word? Cheese! (pronounced "Chiz!" and refers to the food)
Wave
Point (with the most adorable pointer finger) at various face parts (Where is Mama's nose?)
"Dance" on your lap to music, but it's more like a kind of weird, serious bouncing
Throw tiny baby tantrums! Yay!

Gus loves:
Nursing
Chiz!
Any kind of food you're eating-any kind
Trying to use utensils, but only if they are big people ones (stab! goes the fork all over the table!)
Other kids and babies
Aquariums of any kind
Dogs!
Adventures
Books

Gus does not love:
His carseat
Having something awesome taken away--like a penny! or electric cord! dog-licked chiz!
A diaper change just.as.it.was.getting.fun.
