I have mostly baby-proofed the dining room. Silas is getting into everything! So, to keep him occupied, I pulled out some wooden blocks that Tante gave to him.

It's my birthday today! Weird to be 37 with a baby. I don't feel that old. Anyway, to celebrate, we spent some quality time outside. It's a balmy 51 degrees today.

Silas has a tooth in the front on his lower jaw. I keep trying to get a picture, but it's a hard spot. I'm working on it!

Susie and Carmon generously gave us some cloth pocket diapers. I'm still getting the hang of using them, but I like them a lot. Oh, and if I don't give Silas a toy while I'm changing his diaper, he will roll over onto his belly in about half a second.

Silas likes to chew on red pepper. And, I think I really did feel a tooth coming in, in the front on the bottom.

I'm really appreciative of the fact that our friends enjoy hanging out with Silas. It allows us to socialize, and Silas enjoys the attention.

I couldn't tell which made him happier, being in the bath with his dad, or splashing the water. Either way, Silas had a blast.

Talking to my Mom last night reminded me of how much Silas has grown. Here he is with the bear that my Mom made for him. He's grown so much. Here is the link to when I took a picture of him with his bear when he first got it.

We shared some asparagus with Silas at dinner, here's a picture that Eric took of the event. Don't worry, there isn't any salt on the piece we gave him. He seemed to enjoy it.
