I know we did. Here’s Moses modeling the latest in fashionable baby clothes:
I'm ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille.
Moses cleaned up with a nice selection of clothes, toys and stuff to put up on the shelf and stare at. Yesterday, while I was out doing some soil tests, I stopped by the antique mall & found a couple of cool books for Moses. I got a two volume hardcover set of Kipling’s Jungle Books from 1948, a couple of children’s books about John Deere farm equipment, and an addition to my almost completed set of Time-Life books about the Old West (I hope Moses likes them as much as I did when I was a kid). Dad also managed to get himself a 1962 hardback copy of Phillip K. Dick’s “The Man in the High Castle”, which I’ve been wanting to read for years. The whole pile of books cost me about $30, which is a pretty good price for hardcovers in good shape.
He also managed to start standing up on his own on Christmas Eve. He’s had trouble pulling himself up to the edge of our couch, since the floor right in front of the couch is slick wood, but he finally used the room divider we have to keep him away from the door to pull himself up to his feet. I think he did stand up earlier in the week while he was at my Aunt Karen’s house, but this was the first time he managed to do it at home.
He had some minor surgery done about a week before Christmas, and he’ll be getting his catheter out on New Years Eve, which will be pretty cool. He’s been really good about not being whiny this week, but it will be nice to have him back to “normal” and stop having to use two diapers at a time. I really appreciate having a “low maintenance” baby at times like this.
