We finally got a little video footage of Rory walking. Here we’re at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, where he got a chance to really stretch his legs.

Pictures of the Last Few Weeks

June 20th, 2009

The last few months have been busy ones with lots of exciting adventures. On Mother’s Day, Callum ran his first ever running race, while Pamela and Rory did a 1.2 mile charity walk. The whole family enjoyed Memorial Day at the beach on Fire Island. We celebrated Rory turning 1 with cupcakes at home. We planted and cultivated a kitchen garden of carrots, tomatoes and various herbs. A colorful inflatable pool (with a dinosaur head!) took up temporary residence in our back yard on sunny days. Callum finished his first year of real preschool. And now we’re busily making preparations for Callum’s birthday and a visit from Uncle Jim, Aunt Marion, and Cousin Aimee from Scotland next month. So, now, without further ado, some photographic evidence.

Can you believe it? He’s 9 months old already. He’s “cruising” up a storm and getting into all kinds of trouble. Thankfully, he’s beautiful and very sweet.

Rory stands

Rory’s all about standing up these days. He’ll crawl over to me and hold up one hand, and then the other, for me to grab each with one of my own. Then he scoots his little body down, places one foot, then the next, and inches himself up to standing. When the surroundings are right (say, he’s right next to the toy garage Callum got for Christmas), he can pull himself up without any outside intervention. And, of course, standing isn’t just about standing. It’s about grabbing and putting things into his mouth, which makes this stage particularly dangerous. Still, it’s a joy to see his horizons expand and get a glimpse of the future, walking, Rory. He still falls down, but he’s getting steadier on his feet every day.

… from the whole clan!

P.S. Those Christmas cards bound for the UK… well, they’re now New Year’s cards, OK?

Beware the Snot Monster

Rory has gotten a little bit dangerous lately. He knows how to crawl, grab and bite, and he’s not afraid to use his newfound abilities. No teeth yet, though, thankfully.
