Well, I just tried to "copy and paste" too many photos into here,
resulting in about 2 hours of a slowly-processing laptop, until I was
finally able to delete it to start over! 2nd, more cautious try:
Ollie
will be 9 months old in just a handful of days, and he is a week-long
owner of his first teeth (2 bottom front), a 2-day accomplished clapper,
and full of new sounds ("d" and "n" seem to be what we are hearing, in
addition to his many "baabaabaa"s & he seems to be coming up with a
whole new kinds of cry....great...).
Below are some
photos of the past couple months; trying to play catch up, so likely
leaving out lots of stuff. But...oh well!
