My attempts to get a nice video of Silas walking have so far failed, but here he is standing at the Natural History Museum. He pushed the stroller about half of the time that we were there.

Susie, Ruby, Silas and I originally planned to go for a walk, but it was so hot, that we decided to let the kids play in Ruby's baby pool. Silas loved it.

Eric competed in his very first triathlon today! It was an international distance event (1.5k swim, 40k bike, 10k run). Silas and I went and watched him compete. We are so proud of him!!! There are a bunch of pictures from the event on our flickr site here.

Silas and I had to go back home today. Here's one last picture of Silas and I with Tante Robin and Cousin Quinn and Cousin Zoe. Silas and I got to meet Robin's new boyfriend Rob today too, so I put in the picture of the two of them here. One more time, the link to the flickr photo set from our trip is here.

Silas got to play with his Grandpa Bob during our trip to Chapel Hill. We also baked two cakes to celebrate Silas's upcoming birthday, Zoe's upcoming birthday and Grandma and Grandpa's 40th wedding anniversary. Grandma Bobbye helped Silas blow out his candle.

SILAS IS WALKING!!!!!
After a fun-filled day of going to the pool and hanging out with the family, Silas was playing ball with Boo and took 3 or 4 steps from the table to me in order to get the ball. It was an exciting moment that I have to get a video of soon. In the meantime, you'll just have to take my word for it :).

Silas took his first airplane trip today. Silas and I flew to Chapel Hill, NC to visit with his Tante, Cousins Quinn and Zoe, and Grandparents Bob and Bobbye. We had to take two short flights to get there. Overall he did well, though he was pretty unhappy that we couldn't get up at all on the first flight and ended up crying for about 5 minutes before falling asleep during landing. There is a small set of pictures from the trip on our flickr site here.

We've decided not to totally deny our child of sweets. Silas seems to be really happy with that decision. Here he is sharing a Klondike Bar with Tim.

Silas really enjoys playing ball. That mostly means sharing Guthrie's tennis balls that are laying around the house. Silas doesn't care, just so long as it's spherical and he can throw it.

Oh, I keep forgetting to mention it... Silas has a new tooth on the bottom left. It came in just a couple of days ago.
So, we had to go to Lowes in the Waterfront to buy plywood, so we stopped at Steak 'n' Shake for food. Silas is now able to use a straw to drink the shake. He's come a long way!

Rachael and I hosted a baby shower for Tim and Becky. It was a lot of fun. When Silas wasn't being entertained by Eric, he enjoyed watching the guys play corn hole. Notice the blue corn bag in mid-air. Mark threw the bag which is why Silas is facing him.

We went out to dinner tonight at the Sharp Edge. It was a nice treat.

Twice in one week I forgot to take a picture of Silas, so I snuck up on him while he was sleeping and took a picture. I know, lame. But still, he's so cute :)

Another trip to the playground. Eric was heading off on a bike but stopped by to play for a little bit. The two of them were talking to a little girl just off the picture to the right.

Silas really liked this piece of playground equipment. It played musical notes when he banged on the levers.

Susie and Ruby came out to Bloomfield and we all went to the pool together. Ruby likes the water a lot more than Silas does (for now, anyway). It was really fun going with the two of them. I'm sad I didn't get a better picture, but here are Ruby and Silas sharing Ruby's toys.

It was hot today and I didn't feel like walking down to the pool, so we decided to make do. The second pic is Silas standing under a frosted glass table at a restaurant we went to. It's kinda creepy in a way that I really like.

Silas decided while we were in Canada that he likes blueberries. The second picture is from a trip to the Warhol that Silas took with Eric. Eric posted a bunch more pics of the trip on his blog here.

Silas took his first unassisted steps today!!!! Only one step at a time, but he did it multiple times. We managed to catch it on video :).

Silas and Ceci have not had a chance to play together in a couple of weeks. So Joy, Ceci, Silas and I met at Voluto coffee house to hang out and catch up. Then, Silas and I met up with Eric at the Eliza Furnace Bike Trail for Silas's first ever bicycle ride!!! Eric ran while Silas and I rode the bike. It went pretty well, he's still a little small for the seat, but he'll grow into it :)

The weather in Pittsburgh is beautiful right now. Much cooler than when I was 8 months pregnant! Silas had fun playing outside with his soccer ball.

Silas likes to crawl or walk pushing things around. He had fun pushing Ryder's moving dolly around the park. Later that evening, he got to water the garden with his papa. It was a fun filled day!

Pretty crazy that Silas is already 11 months old! Time is flying.
We stayed the morning in Detroit before heading home. One more breakfast out with Troy before we hit the road. Here is the final reference to our trip pics on flickr. Check out all the photos (almost 200!) and videos HERE.

Breakfast in Detroit... then a tour of the community garden by Troy's house... then some guitar playing with Troy.

Happy Birthday Tante Robin!!!!
We left Komta after breakfast and drove to Detroit. Here is my view of Silas while driving. The next picture was during our lunch 'break' in Mackinac City. You can see the bridge in the background.

Eric took a bunch of nice pictures of Silas playing on the dock at Komta. Here's one I really like, plus a few others that are nice. First though, is a video of Silas walking with Eric. He's getting closer and closer to walking on his own!
And, of course, a reference to our flickr photo set. HERE.

Everyone at Komta loved Silas and took turns watching him so Eric and I could do things like canoe, bike, swim, read and relax. Here's Katie playing with Silas at the dining room table. Later, Silas went for a dip with me. The water was really cold, so it was just a quick walk in, walk out.

It was another fun day in the woods. Silas started the day climbing the stairs at Komta. Later, Eric and Tim paddled Silas and I around in the canoe. Silas still can't sit while wearing his pfd, but he can stand for a much longer time. He had a lot of fun.

Silas would eat lunch and dinner with everyone in the dining room if he was awake, but he had his snacks at one of the round tables in the living room. I also have this picture of Becky 'cause she looks so great! This was the longest period of sunshine for our entire trip.
June 27, 2009: 10 months 22 days old
We drove for a long time today with a couple of long stops. We stopped at a park and ate lunch so Silas and Guthrie could run around. Becky, Tim and Mike caught up to us (mostly because of a late start and long stops) so we all ate dinner together in Sault St. Marie at a place called Antlers.
