Long-winded

Caimon has some molars coming in on his lower jaw, and his gums are really swollen. While eating dinner today he would suddenly scream out and start crying. We handed him a sippy cup with water to 1) replace some of the fluid he's lost to drooling, and 2) give him something to rub his gums on. We did not realize that he would also start on a long and very animated conversation with the sippy. I managed to catch the end of it in a video. He seems to have totally forgotten that we were sitting next to him at the table.

If only he could see the keys

If you had not noticed, we use this blog primarily to share news and videos/pictures of Caimon. To that end, I give you the following, Caimon climbing and playing the piano.

Videos for Grandma

Grandma requested some videos of Caimon in action. In the first, he pushed his car over into the corner, then tried to turn around.

The second video shows him playing after making a mess with his dinner.

Both are pretty typical for him, but I guess any 11 month old is about the same.

time MARCHes on

Caimon will be a year old in about two weeks. I struggle to think that much time has passed. But then... it's sometimes hard to remember life without him.



We went from a couple, happy in blissful ignorance.
