First Tooth

Yep, that little white speck in Perryn's mouth is his first tooth emerging.

Another Fond Memory

Believe it or not, this is another moment that I wanted to capture. We have plenty of pictures of our little guy smiling and happy, but who thinks to take pictures of the whiny moments.

And doesn't Gary look thrilled? :-)

Ahhhh

Perryn frequently falls asleep during his last bottle and it's just oh so precious. I wanted to capture the moment because I know it is just one of those things I will miss when he's older.

Here's another shot as we were going upstairs to bed

Fall Carnival

We took Perryn to the Fall Carnival that the daycare sponsored. Roberta joined us also. This is Perryn and me in the "balloon room". They had different themes/games in each room and a big bounce house outside. We knew there wouldn't be much for babies, (geared towards older kids), but I got the opportunity to use Perryn's costume, so I was happy.

The Big Tub

I guess I haven't been very good about posting pictures this month, so I'll try to catch up over the next couple days.

This is a photo we took from Perryn's first bath in the "big" tub. The rubber ducky was a gift from Grandma C. It quacks when you squeeze it's beak. In hindsight, I'd have to say that it does seem like a little bit of a poor design since Perryn can neither see nor squeeze the beak while sitting in it. (I registered for this, so I'm certainly not complaining about Grandma's choice of a gift - LOL). I do still think it's cute and it is handy to have a smaller area than the entire tub, as well as a soft landing when he falls over.

Progress with Crawling

Here's a very short video showing the progress Perryn has made at learning to crawl.

Happy Halloween!!

Perryn "Creeping"

Here's some video of Perryn creeping. He'll be crawling soon.

This is in 2 parts:

Perryn in a "tie"

Here's Perryn in his "dress" onesie that Grandma C gave him. :-)

Picture of the Day

This is Perryn in an outfit that one of my cousins sent (Sharon & Joe).

Playing with Pepere

I'm just a little slow copying some photos from my camera to my PC. Here's one from Pepere's visit.

6 Month Photos

We took Perryn for pictures last Monday and this time we decided to go all out and do family photos. I had fun shopping for coordinating outfits. :-)

This is *my* favorite:

Here's the one of Perryn and me:

Sitting Up

Here's some video of Perryn sitting up and playing with his puppy rattle.

Just a cute photo

Go Patriots

We did a little photo shoot this weekend of Perryn in the outfit that Pepere brought for him. I think this was the best photo of many attempts. :-)

Sitting Up

Perryn is in the process of learning to sit up unassisted. He's getting pretty good at it. This is a photo from the first time that he sat on his own for several minutes at one time. Usually he topples over pretty quickly.

Watching TV

One of the things that surprises me about babies is that a 6 month old can be soooo interested in the TV. It actually started much earlier than 6 months, although I don't recall exactly when. In this photo he's on the play area in the living room which happens to be under the TV. He's trying to lean back far enough to see the TV.

A Trip to the Zoo

Pepere (Gary's dad) visited this weekend and we were lucky enough to have a beautiful day on Sunday, so we decided to take Perryn to the zoo. We really got lucky because Hurricane Ike passed through the area on Saturday and it rained in the afternoon and evening. We originally expected to get rain all weekend, but it came in later than expected and cleared up earlier.

I can say that Perryn enjoyed the zoo, in that it was a nice day to be out and walk around, etc. However, I can't say for sure whether he actually noticed *any* of the animals. It was still fun and we got some nice photos of the experience. Here's a couple shots:

How many monkeys do you see?
