Well, he is getting bigger (a little) but more to update is the almost walking. He has a little red walker wagon with which he walks around the house. Pretty funny and he gets so excited. He probably has not gained much weight in the last month despite his ravenous eating. Here is a sample of what he eats: - peas - mush cereal - cheerios - banana - yogurt - pasta - mac and cheese - hot dogs (

Stewart is 8 months old today, as I always say, it is hard ot believe it. Here is a summary of his "skills" or whatever you want to call them. He can: - crawl - eat mushy foods: favorites include sweet potatoes, peas, carrots (homemade by mom), bananas (we call them "naners"), applesauce. He is fading on his like of rice cereal and oatmeal. - bite with pain. his two bottom teeth are

Recently, Stewart figured out he was big enough to see over the crib bumpers. So when you go in to his room after a nap he likes to look up at you. It also makes you realize it is time to drop the mattress so he cannot climb out. hello I can reach my mobile and destroy it with ease. This used to be a challenge for me - no longer.

We were allowed into the House chamber and we took some photos of our future legislator, Stewart. This same chamber is where the governor gives his state-of-the-state address.

Tomorrow is the start of the last 7 weeks of school for Peter. He has a easier schedule than prior sessions with 4 classes and a teaching assistant schedule. We look forward to moving home (into the house) on April 1. We should start to wrap things up in Bloomington around March 20 with Peter starting work on March 29 or so.

After 1000 miles and three days of driving through sun, fog in Vermont, snow in New York and PA, and ice in Ohio, we returned to Bloomington just before Stewart's bedtime...good timing! It was quite a long trip for both Stewart and Jersey, but luckily we only have to do it one more time.

Stewart resting with Ploppers on another car ride during the 3 weeks back east. We logged over 2,500 miles of drving which was a lot for little Stewart and big Jersey. Jersey resting, too. He has a lot less room in the car so he usually sits in the way back. He came up with some innovative (can a dog be innovative?) ways of contorting his 115# frame in the back seat.

Made a quick journey to the Staples for New Years. Stewart was not feeling too well during the trip so we only made this stop. He cut his first two teeth about a week prior. Despite the activity in the below photos he was asleep for the entire time we were there except 1 hour at night and one in the morning. Maybe he'll be more excited to ring in the new year next year!

Stewart enjoyed a single strand of red ribbon as his favorite Christmas gift.

Stewart is 6 months old, hard to believe. He had the checkup today and other than a sore leg from some more vaccinations, he is doing very well. Over the coming days we plan to start fattening him up with some mashed potatoes, peas, squash and other mushed up people food. Here are the vitals: Height: 27-1/2" (tall for age, like daddy) Weight: 17# 10oz In less than 2 weeks we are off to
