So we went to the Aquarium yesterday, it was extremely crowded so we didn’t stay long, but Desmond did enjoy the fishies. He also really enjoyed hanging out backwards in the Mei Tai. Here are some pictures of him, in his favorite position (upside down). I’d worry about it, but he flipped up whenever he felt like it, so it just seems to be a position he likes to be in.

So I’ve uploaded some pictures we’ve taken in the past week or so, and figured I should share. First off is pictures of baby boy walking! He tends to walk with his hands above his head for some reason. I assume it is balance, but who knows. He can take about 10 to 12 steps at a time now, and has started working on his running as well, eek.

…is Boob (well it sounds more like Baab).

He enjoys popping off while nursing and saying it, as in look Mommy you have a Boob! and I get milk from it!

I think we can officially call Desmond a walker. He always starts out walking now, and goes up to 8 or 9 steps before falling. He only starts out crawling if he is somewhere without something for him to use to stand. He is really enjoying his new skill though. He was walking all over last night.

Desmond walking on video. We finally got the video camera set up at the right time to catch him walking. He only does 2 to 5 steps at a time, but he is pretty good at it. Here is one of his attempts last night, K is there to “help” too. It is fairly long and not edited, I couldn’t get the edited version to work, so you get the full video in all its glory.

This one is a bit pixelated for the first 3 or 4 seconds too, no clue, guess I needed black space at the front.

I think I mentioned in an earlier post that I would try to get this video up. It is of Desmond climbing up the ottoman to get to the chair and to play with Dan’s computer. He is fast, which is why the ottoman is no longer there.

The first few second are really pixelated, I have no clue why, they aren’t in the real video.

I don’t have many yet, but here are a few pictures from this month.

The first one is him eating lasagna, he really enjoyed it, as did puppy.

The next two are of him taking off the cushion on the ottoman so he can climb up onto the chair or sofa. I promise to post the video soon.

I just love this picture of him. It’s a Desmond sandwich!

Here are some more January pictures, these are ones either Dan or I took.

I love him in this outfit, even if he does not look happy at the moment:

He took the glass out of the end table by trying to stand up in it. So we put away the glass and he now uses the end table as his personal stand. Here is a close up of him standing in it:

He’s eating a tamale here from Cheese Cake factory, so far he’s liked all the foods he’s tried.

He likes to steal my wireless keyboard and play with it, by putting it on my chair or banging it around:

And the last January picture is Desmond taking down the baby gate. He looks so pleased with himself:

So when we got Desmond’s 9 month pictures we did a shot that we had done at 3 months as well. It is amazing to see how much he’s grown.

Desmond at 3 months:

Desmond at 9 months:

Okay here are some pictures, I meant to post a bunch of these last month but didn’t. So here they are now.

From his 9 month professional shots:

I love this picture of his face, he is so cute.

A family shot, I think we all look good in it too which is nice.
