James has 4 teeth now, 2 on bottom and 2 on top. "The better to bite with you with!!" he says.

An evening at the park
Let me extol the virtues of our home. We are in a ridiculously awesome neighborhood with ridiculously awesome neighbors (who gave us lots of free baby stuff). We have a home we can be proud of, that is the walls aren't crumbling, the floor doesn't tilt, and it's larger than the (cough, cough) 4 rooms we previously had. Best of all, we are within walking distance of lots of cool stuff - coffee shops and restaurants, bars, the lake, and best of all the park! The park with the playground! We've been waiting all winter to be able to go outside and play and we have definitely taken advantage of it this past week or so. Every day after work we go for a nice long walk. We love the exercise and fresh air, Buster just loves it.
Today we headed to the playground for some much needed goofing around. I love the playground still as an adult. And best of all, now that I have a kid I can play at the playground without people looking at me weird (as long as I have the kid with me, that is). We went on the swings today. Buster was definitely the giggliest little boy, or I should say kid in general, at the park. His laugh was so robust it was contagious. We both laughed for about 10 minutes straight, I'd say.
Can I just reiterate how much I love this little guy? Even looking at the pictures that I just took a few hours makes me smile!

9 month stats!
Okay, my apologies for being gone so long. It's been hectic both at work and at home. I promise to post some pictures over the weekend.
In the meantime, we had our 9 month check-up and I'm proud to say that James is doing just great! I dont' think our pediatrician is used to having laid back parents though because when we told him we didnt' have anything to talk to him about, his response was "really?" Then he proceeded to tell us basically everything we already knew (baby proof the house now that James is more mobile, time for a bigger carseat, which we upgraded months ago anyway, wear sunscreen since he's so pale). The one thing we learned that came as a bonus is that James can now eat whatever we eat as long as we cut it up and it's somewhat mushy. So that's a bonus. But what we're always excited to learn is height and weight and what percentile he's in. And this time, we've even controlled for gender so the following are among boys only:
weight: 20lbs, 40th percentile
height: 29 inches, 75th percentile
head: 19 inches, 95th percentile (he's obviously got my big brain :) )
