Would you like a steak?

This is not the greatest picture in the world, but I wanted to get a picture of him on the day his teeth arrived. The bottom two came in at the exact same time. Bless his little heart. Just the tops are in. His gums on the top are swollen in four places, so others are not far behind.
I can't believe that he is 8 months old, and will be nine months old next week. He is really moving around a lot. He is standing by himself for a long time. He is even standing from a sitting position without holding on to anything. He is still really surprised when he does this. I project that he will be walking before Thanksgiving.

I don't know why the next two pictures are so small. Carol took these when we went to visit her in Oxford. He loved being in the pumpkins.
