New in the past week or so are solid foods (he goes after that rice cereal like nobody's business, squash not so much of a hit) and not immediately toppling over when sitting unsupported. He can roll from tummy to back, but isn't super-interested in doing so. He really wants to be able to stand. He's still awfully bald. The bottom two front teeth, ( Read more... )

Conor's godparents, Brian and Fong, have a four month old in addition to a two year old.

I found out two things yesterday:

2) It's really awesome to give the kid back after 15 minutes.

The idea of baby binary fills me with joy. Details? (I'm picturing counting to 4 using arm up/arm down as 1/0, if that makes sense.)

Arms and legs, so there are 16 states. We do left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg for 1, 2, 4, 8 respectively. 15 is thus HUGE fun with all appendages in the air. :-)

and you have to do 3,12,3,12,3,12 a lot, perhaps interspersed with alternations of 5 & 10 -- or maybe 6 & 9 even if that sometimes requires more dexterity than I actually have -- and of course the obligatory, periodic surprise "FIFTEEN!"s.

and then there's the Roll, Pitch, and Yaw Game.

Ah, so cute. I need to go find a suitable baby now.

If he falls asleep on my lap during the day, I can shift his position pretty well, but if I put him down, he'll wake up, and then comes the misery.

I remember that. I still encounter it when the Boy Wonder is asleep during a drive, then the car stops and as soon as a door is opened and his seatbelt is unfastened: EYES OPEN I'M AWAKE BOLT FOR THE DOOR.
