Livin' on the Edge

All of the crawling and cruising around on the couches and pulling up has morphed into cruising around all of the furniture with a very delicate hand hold, all around the kitchen, into the backroom.  Rinse and repeat.  :)

He is so close to walking, I can taste it.  Or maybe he can taste it.  The strength is there, now it's just the balance part.  His cousin was over late last week and he walks around all over the place.  Little Boy was standing holding on to a toy in front of the TV watching J and I could see the wheels turning in his head:  "Hey!  I can do THAT."  And therefore, he will.  Because that has been his whole life so far -- I'm not gonna ANYTHING until I decide that I want to.  Which is very, VERY much like his mother.  Hopefully, we can take that personality trait and make it something useful, instead of counter-productive, as my tendencies swing.

We were at the baseball game on Saturday night, which was very fun.  We lasted almost the whole game -- sat in the stands and cheered and got a bit scared by fireworks and when the Brewers were scoring runs -- Miller Park is very loud!  :) 

We went to the State Fair on Sunday morning.  It only rained about an hour in the morning, so while it was raining, we had breakfast:

It was delicious!

I think that we have our annual tradition with him -- I plan on taking month pictures with the next baby too, and I tried my best with Little Boy, but these are good too:

2009 - Almost 3 months old

2010 - Almost 15 months old

What a difference a year makes!  :)











The cream puffs are really good too!  Little Boy slept through those again this year too.  But, he does go with his daycare on Friday, so I'm sure that he will get one then.

I'll post video of him walking soon.


If more than two people read this, I would publicly out my sister-in-law, but since nobody does, it's not really publicly outing her.  I will say that I'm kind of excited that they are having another baby in January.  I don't know if I'm ready or not to have another one.  I waiver back and forth.  If these money things would go away, I would be set.  Until then...I'll just be excited for them.  In my totally stone-cold, anti-excited way.  Especially if they have a girl.  Because then I can buy dresses and make sweet stuff that involves me using up all my girl colored yarns and fabrics that I've been traveling with for the past 5 to 6 years.
