Video Ketchup

When last we saw our little hero, he was just starting to eat cereal and had the pre-crawl blues. This first video is right after that time. He was about 6 months old and liked to be stood up in his crib...sort of.


He also had a favorite trick that he liked to play in his crib.


Finally, the pre-crawl blues gave way to an obsession to find shoes. SHOES!


At this point we thought he was going to remain horizontal for the rest of his life. We were sooo wrong. This is one of his first vertical moments.

Jana and Larry

Jana and Larry came to see us on their way to Puerto Vallarta, which was really nice of them, because not many people will voluntarily add a layover to their vacation. We picked them up from SFO and had just enough time to eat lunch at Max's in Burlingame before we had to return them to the airport. Jana was in love with Desmond, and I think he was pretty tickled with her as well. (He also seemed enamored with the spoons.)

I wish we had had more time to talk and hang out before they had to go - though we're thinking we might take a road trip up to Oregon this summer to see them. A little camping in the redwoods, a little hiking in Corvallis, a little coffee drinking in Portland... could be fun!
