Gordie's first day in nursery school

He was about as thrilled as I was to be put in nursery school.

To cry or not to cry...that is the question.

For weeks my dad has said to me that "Babies cry... that's what they do." Today his story has changed. He thinks that Gordie is growing progressively more demanding. He cries harder and makes it sound more pathetic and serious. Little Gordo knows what he wants and is very persistent. I am sure that is a sign of high intelligence.

BTW. I think Gordie maybe a food critic someday in his off hours of being a brain surgeon. He has a palette for odd foods like carrots and squash and not so much rice cereal.

Gordie's new balancing act

This just started last night...Gordie stands on his knees and hands close together and rocks back and forth as if he is testing his balance. He will be crawling in the next week and a half.

Should we call him Gordo?

A man at Starbucks commented that Gordie was a big guy. He commented that his 7 month old daughter wasn't nearly as large as him...I googled just yesterday and I read that babies usually double their birth weight by 4 months. Gordie is no where close to 20 lbs. I think he weighs around 18 lbs.
