Thus ends this monthly series. It's been fun watching you grow up, buddy.

My mom found the 1950s urchin pants at the thrift store; the sweater was made by his mother. I think he's worn this outfit at least twice a week this winter.

Next month: two.

And "reading" Pinkalicious. Next he'll be begging me to take him to Broadway to see the musical.

I totally forgot to do my monthly photo of Gram for July. Well, here he was on the 21st, just a few days past the seventeen-month mark. His mama made those pants (and the patches have proven surprisingly useful). The shirt came with our visitors from Paris.

Gram at Fifteen Months

There have been a lot of big changes in the last month, most notably WORDS. It took him a bit longer than his sister to start talking, but he's really making up for lost time. One word he still doesn't say is his sister's name (or any approximation of it). Instead, he uses this sign that he made up for her, I think because she kisses him so much on the cheeks.

On the bike ride to school, when she's not on the bike chattering with us, he pokes his cheeks and looks at me to ask where she is. Whenever he's away from her, this is what he's doing.

The fact that this kid has been able to venture outside again has suddenly turned him into the happiest boy in the history of the universe.

Gram at One Year

Someone became a one year old yesterday. Hard to believe a year ago I was writing this. He's such a little buddy now, such a little boy. Wood is going to post later today about the birthday banner she made for his party.

Such a happy little buddy. 30 inches. Six teeth. Clapping hands. Climbing stairs.

Set this boy down in the center of any room and he will find the straightest and most economical path to any (1) power cord; (2) electrical outlet; (3) small choking hazard thrown on the floor by his sister (in that order).

I wish I could just attach a bungie cord to his belt and tie the other end to the ceiling. He'd still probably find a way to get into trouble.

He did eat an entire avocado the other day. I was proud of him. I didn't taste an avocado until I was in my twenties.

Gram in the swing

Posted by jdg | 9:22 AM | , ,





I hate to admit it, but this molded fiberglass swing is the first thing I really noticed about our neighborhood and the first thing that made me really fall in love with it. The playgrounds within the neighborhood are well-maintained and original to the early 1960s. Yeah yeah, I liked the houses too, but I really liked the swing.

Sometimes I see people with big yards and I feel bad because I can't install all that backyard play equipment for my kids. But yesterday Juney looked out the window and saw two of her friends playing on this playground and ran right out there to them. I realized there are nice things about sharing the equipment with the neighborhood, too.

Please stop crawling, Mr. Two Teeth. Chewing on everything seems much more ominous now that you have mobility and those razor-sharp incisors. You gutted and field dressed a stuffed moose the other day. The dog is already scared of you (as well he should be).
