Look, I'm standing!

Gage has been standing up on everything for awhile now. He's becoming quiet surefooted by now, in fact. I always catch him in his crib standing up, gripping the sides and waiting for me to come rescue him.

He has the best smiles! I think he has five or six teeth on top now too, so we're slowly getting used to the new smile that's not just the two-tooth version.


Yes, this child does have a lot of hair for his eight months of life. In fact, I just took him to get his first "real" haircut. I held him, he wore a cape and the five dollars I paid may have been equivalent to the number of minutes that it took the stylist to cut it.

He stands up on everything now. Seems like he could be walking anytime, which is really wild for us to consider.

What great perspective, huh? Brent took this one when Gage was looking outside through the sliding glass door in the kitchen. Gage loves to look at the trees and all the colors of the outdoors. I suspect that both of our boys will define the "outdoors men" and make Colorado natives very proud indeed.
