More pictures!

Hi all, it's been a while, but I can say the same thing for Ben and Jeremy, too. Anyways, Silas is walking really good now. It's pretty cute, in order to keep his balance he keeps his elbows bent with his hands up next to his ears. Of course, I don't think we have any pictures of that exactly, but I'll try. Here are a few pictures. We got Colleen a new camera the other day so this is from her testing it out. We have some pictures of him eating beets that mom really wanted to see but those will have to wait, their on the other computer and I only have these photos on this computer and I don't really feel like dealing with the other computer right now. Here are some pictures, enjoy!

Pictures!

Hello everyone! Here are some pictures that we've taken over the past couple weeks. At the end is a video as well. The first part of the video was taken a couple months ago, then the next part was taken last week I think. Silas took a couple of steps today all by himself then promptly fell down. He seems to be getting braver and braver about letting go of stuff as he's holding on to it. He can stand by himself really good, now he just needs to learn to put one foot in front of the other. Things are going good, I start back to school on Tuesday so I'm looking forward to that. Hope everyone else is doing good!

This one above and below were taken after he had fallen head first on to the edge of his toy bin in the living room. If you look closely above his left eye you can see the welt that formed. It was pretty nasty looking at first but went down after a couple days.

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everyone! Here are some pictures!

This was his outfit for Christmas Eve over at Colleen's brothers house.

With his new stacking toy from Grandma and Grandpa Curtis

His New dinosaur ride on and walking toy from Grandma and Grandpa Curtis. He loves is it. It makes all sort of cool noises and lights up and sing s a couple songs, too.

A Few Pictures

Playing in the Snow for the first time.

Colleen said he was a little weirded out at first but then
once he tasted it he was okay

After dinner one night; I call this one, "sweet potato-face"

So Big!!

He's so active now it's insane. I took him over to Mel's on Saturday morning for a bit and he climbed up some of her stairs and you could tell he was very excited. At home he's discovered that there are other rooms that he can get to, and he just loves going for the cats food dish. He enjoys hanging out in the bathroom in the mornings when Colleen is getting ready, and also likes being chased around the house. He's got quite the collection of bruises on his head, but he's starting to get better at pulling himself up without falling. He's now starting to pull himself up and then let go of whatever he's holding to and standing for a very short amount of time. It's only a matter of time. He started clapping now, too, and just loves doing it. I'll try and get some pictures of that.

So, other than Silas stuff, we're both doing pretty good. Colleen's job is still rockin' and I only have three tests this week for finals and then I'm off for a whole month, so I'm really looking forward to some quality time with Silas and Colleen. My schedule has been so hectic since September, so some time off will be nice. That's about all that's going on with us right now, hope everyone else is going good and has a happy christmas.

Silas Standing Up

Hi all. Here's a video of some clips of Silas. Our camera for some reason only takes video at 9 second intervals, so this is some clips all put together in to one. Enjoy!

Time to baby-proof the house

So Silas is officially starting to pull himself up now. If he can reach it, he pulls up. I put him in his crib today while I was picking out some clothes for him to wear over to Mel's, and I turn around and this is what I find. He's starting to crawl a little bit. He was doing it a bit yesterday and then today when I went to Mel's he crawled a little bit, too. Now that he's getting more mobile we're starting to baby-proof things, outlets and cabinets and such. We had to buy a new TV stand because the one we did have was an accident waiting to happen, and now I just need to anchor the bookshelves to the wall. Hope everyone's doing good.

practically crawling

And we're off.....

Silas isn't quite crawling yet...but he is really, really mobile!

He is constantly getting himself stuck in corners and under the sofa...its pretty entertaining.

We ended up staying inside on Halloween due to a family cold...its so fun sharing everything!

We got a new entertainment center seeing as our old one had "baby killer" written all over it... it was old, warping and unstable.

While Matt was assembling the new one we put the box on the floor for Silas to play with and much to his and our amazement he pulled himself up to standing! Once he realized what he was doing, he promptly fell to the ground.

Besides baby stuff, nothing else too eventful is going on. Just enjoying the cooler weather and the changing of the leaves!
