"Momma", "Daddy", "Num" [food], and "Bubble" [water...don't ask] are some of my favorite words. I'd say I have about a 20 word vocabulary consisting of some real, and some baby-talk words, but I'm definitely starting to communicate more (although I find the point and squeal method still seems to work nicely). My mobility has continued to increase. I can now ascend and descend stairs fairly easily. I'm also very interested in climbing on just about anything, and once I'm on top, I like to jump up and down (and see how much I can freak out mommy and daddy.)

Mommy and daddy invited some of my friends over to play, so I prepared my best smile!

Here, my friend Brian provides the power for my environmentally friendly vehicle.

Up in Baltimore, I met some more of my extended family. Here I show them what they've been missing.

Grandma helped me read one of my cousin's books.

Later in November, some more of my friends came over during Thanksgiving Weekend. [Editor's note: There is probably a picture from 10 years ago, with the 5 guys just sitting around...no wives...no kids... oh how things change]

Matthew...what have you been eating?

I need a break from all the action... This chair is perfect, I finally have something my size to sit on.

Hey look..."Bubbles"

Look dad...I made my own Hippity-Hop

With the holidays and the Winter weather...there are plenty more pictures HERE.
