I have a lot to share this morning. First I have some naked pictures to share. I know, I know, but he'll get over it. You can really see his lip in these pictures. I've also noticed a lot more people ask me about it, which makes me feel confirmed that it is in fact growing and not going away like we have hoped. It wasn't until I seen these pictures that I noticed how bad it sticks

out. I look at him and see just a beautiful smile and now I often wonder what other people think. I think I know now that I'll get it removed for him. It's just going to be such a hard thing to have heal. Babies suck, chew and put everything they can in their mouth. I dread this time, especially since we're so dependent on his pacifier.

We also learned the other day how mobile he really is. I've found him in corners and messing with the Tivo and DVD player which happens to sit just at his level. He's all over the living room. It's hard to remember that we have a child now and we can't just leave something on the floor to pick up later. I constantly have to think about what's in his "area" when I leave the room to the kitchen or use the bathroom. Sometimes I have panicked and ran back in there to make sure I didn't forget about the scissors I used to cut the tag off his shirt. Which luckily hasn't happened yet, it's been a false alarm each time.

Speaking of just how mobile he is... He figured out that he can get on his knees and rock and fall forward to get closer to things. There's been a few times where I thought, "Here he goes, he's going to crawl" but then he falls. He figured this out one morning and hasn't stopped since. He has it mastered by now. He's so cute. I really think he'll be crawling before Christmas, if not then right after.

Here's some pictures of him in his Christmas PJ's. They're the kind that have the button flap on the bottom and to my surprise it really does unbutton to expose his bottom. :) No I haven't

taken that picture just yet. But I'm so going to stick him in them diaperless after Christmas so I can take that picture. :) He's just way too cute.
