Earlier this week, Mr. D. had two more teeth surface on the upper deck. That makes 6. I'm stunned.
He's so close to pulling himself up, still not interested in forward crawling. His Nana said that
quiet_elegance went directly to walking, so there's precedent.
Ever since we gave up forcing baby oatmeal on him, he's been very keen on actually consuming -not just playing- with food. It occurred to me that my stricture against things in the cabbage family are now null given we are feeding him refried beans and broccoli and other things are in his future. We may as well get him used to cabbage-based food indirectly entering his ecosystem. Also, I miss all of them soooo much!
I worked last Saturday, so I ended up getting a few hours of comp time, so I chose to leave work an hour early. I could rather get used to that. I get more comp time coming up because...
I'm going down to Wesleyan campus for a professional conference today and spending the night. This is my first time away over night and I'm feeling a touch anxious. He'll be fine. I'm not so sure about me. :P
QE's been home mornings for a few weeks now, so the routine is that when it's time for morning naps - usually between 7:30 and 8- QE will settle the babe down on his chest with a blankie and they both chill out. However, QE's not here this morning, I am. I am more of the put Crime Fighter down and let him figure out this sleep thing on his own. This works pretty well at night, but mornings require snugglies! I got caught in the baby vortex. After all, I'm disappearing in a few hours until late tomorrow. I may as well enjoy.
Anyway- that's the latest from the land of crime fighters.

My niece started running—not walking, RUNNING—at about Crimefighter's age. Pulled herself up on my fingers and ran out of the room.
