Breakthroughs?

[lollardfish]

First the important bit: We've finally put an unsorted group of pictures, bad and good, from the last few months online. They include Easter, Applecon, grandpa's visit, and his first haircut.



I love this picture. I was out of town, my dad came to help Shannon out, and he and Nico got to know each other as grownups (because Nico was just a baby the last time we saw the grandparents).



In case you are wondering, I am pretty sure that they are on "Goodnight light and the red balloon. Goodnight bears. Goodnight chairs."



Nico seems on the verge of enormous breakthroughs in speech, verbal expressiveness, signing, walking, and really everything else. I expect they will each take their time in approaching the next level, but his physical steadyness and strength, coupled with his eagerness to play and learn, fills us with joy. Sorry to be so gushy!

Sorry to be so gushy!

The only thing you have to be sorry about, IMNSHO, is not posting enough about buttonfish.

What a wonderful picture of Nico and his grandfather!!

Serious breakthrough in cuteness, also.

(Edited because my spelling error suggested some kind of reference to circumcision. Or possibly hairdressers.)

Gush at will, Papa.

#32 is an utter delight, #5 and #6 made the smile that was already on my face grown larger, and you should make a big print of #35 and put it up in his room. So much love, so much joy.

No apologies! Sharing joy with your friends and loved ones is a treasure for us all.

In fact, if you want to send me your highest resolution version of #35, I'll print it here on 13x19" paper and send it your way. (If there's a way to download a high-res version from Fotki, I'm not finding it.) #6, too. And Grandpa and Grandson....
