Joe Dirt


Time flies! We are less than one week away from Knox's first birthday. It hardly seems possible! In three short days, we are heading to the airport for a much needed vacation. Our first 5 days will be spent in Pennsylvania for my sister's wedding. After that, we'll head to New Hampshire for a stay at the Hacienda with Ib's folks. And, just in time for New England foliage! We are really looking forward to seeing everyone.

Meanwhile, the little dude has been busy, busy, busy! He is curious about everything. He wants to know how things work. I've noticed that he has started playing little games. He'll take all his blocks (Thanks, Auntie Ro!) out of the box and stack them in a pile, or put them into another container. And then he will put them all back in the box, again.

He is also facsinated by balancing his blocks on things. Lately, his pedestal of choice is the drawer pulls on the file cabinet. He'll spend a few minutes getting the blocks to sit on the handle, just so, then he will take them off and do it all over again.

He is one smart cookie!

He has 5 teeth now (2 on bottom, 3 up top) with a 6th ready to poke through any day now. I already see braces in his future. He is still practicing walking. He's taken as many as 3 steps on his own, but he is very comfortable walking beside you and holding one hand.

And, unfortunately, he is still sneaking out the doggy door to eat rocks and grabbing fistfuls of dirt out of my potted plants. Yep:100% Boy!
