6 months

At half a year old baby has learned to do tons of things on his own. Soon our little snorglepuss won't need us anymore....

He can get up...

He can get down!

He is working on feeding himself.
He has mastered the straw sippy cup.
This last photo isn't depicting any particular skill but I think he looks just like Bill in this one.

Completely gratuitous.

So Augie, Lenny and I went to the wiener dog races in the park today. It was a beautiful day and a great event. There were lots of dogs and most of them were in costume, I mean, is there anything cuter than dogs in costumes?

Crawling...almost.

Augie has the basics of crawling in place and he can even manage some forward motion. But then this crazy flash dance mood always comes over him and he starts doing some dance routine on all fours...adorable but not terribly effective.


Step 1: Smile big and set your resolve.

Step 2: Get into the appropriate position to commence forward locomotion.

Step 3: In position now... MOVE!















Step 4: Forward ho!















Step 5: Reconsider..do baby floor dance routine.

Birthday Madness!!!!

Bill recently had a birthday and we did it right. Party, hats, cake, pie and all the fun a guy can handle.



Gorgeous birthday boy.













Augie and Lenny are ready to yell surprise!





Singing a song and blowing out candles. Bill was rather impressed with my baking skills--I was rather impressed by the color of the icing.












The morning after.

Visiting two of many.

So Augie decided it was high time to visit a couple of uncles. He enjoyed spending time with Marty and Pat and can not wait for more time with the relatives!




I'm up, where are the uncles at?













Getting to know Uncle Marty over a couple of delicious beverages.

Look we're the same height!





Uncle Pat was awesome--didn't mind me putting the moves on his lady friend--awesome.
