First it was a footstool. Gergie stumbled, eye first, onto it. The stool won. Then the next day it was the stairs. Climbing up, he slipped and did a classic chin skin. My poor baby! At least he's in good company, right?

Creative Diapering
Downtown Dammariscotta: Car on the lift getting tires rotated. Poop in the diaper. New diapers in the car. Quick fix: wash up with paper towels in the bathroom. Carefully wrap diaper (poop having been dropped in toilet) and stuff into coat pocket. Use LOTS of paper towel to create a new diaper to stuff into baby's wool pants. Works like a charm.
Nest Day. Basket ball practice. Poop in diaper. Clean Diaper 6 miles away at home. No problem, right? The hard brown school paper towel doesn't work nearly as well as the regular kind. Fussy Baby. Wet Wool pants.

Anatomy of a Busy Boy
At beditme, well packed and padded cloth diapers are all the rage. Our model today is sporting the ubiqitous and always stylish chest drool stain. And remember, if you're not sure where to go, just drag the pillow around till you find a comfy spot to lay your head.

Only 4 months!!
So--being in Maine takes extra time. Extra time to haul wood, wash dishes, hang laundry, and cry for lost closet space. . . .but Gergivus, or "Weggie" as Nicholas calls him, still likes a ride in the Storkenweiga--esp during dinner prep--here is a self portrait--I'm trying to kiss him--not look sunken-cheeked thin!

Dear Arveragus,
Life is full, and time goes by so fast! You are growing into a busy guy, and doing so many sweet things that I don't want to forget, but know I won't remember if I don't write them down.
Lately you have woken from naps, or even after bed time when I'm working in the kitchen, and instead of crying or calling for me you slide yourself off the bed and toddle out to find me. Such a little person. This morning you came out of the bedroom, saw Daddy sitting in his chair, and gave him a big smile and good-morning wave. Then you went straight for the window to watch a truck drive around the parking lot.
You pick-up books and ask for them to be read. "EH Eh EH ?" you ask. You pick-up pieces of clothing and ask for help putting them on. "Eh Eh Eh ?" You flip your sweet wrist around for a delicate "bye-bye" wave. When we go out for walks every car that passes us gets a wave.
You are getting more recognizable words. "Chick" "Mama" "Nana" (the food source, not the old lady. . .) and "ba" for ball. All is spoken with that sweet smile and voice--but you do growl sometimes. And you do the helecopter noise--sticking your toungu in and out for the roter noise. But you make the helecopter noise for helecopters, planes, and birds. Ah well. You'll get the fine points later.
Body part identification includes head, nose, mouth, and ear--though your nose is sometimes your ear--just like Thaddeus before you!
You eat anything if it has ketchup, or maple syrup. And you do eat a LOT! More than Thaddues sometimes--at least more in one sitting. . .Thaddeus just east a snack ever 40 minutes. . .
Your sign language includes "All Done" "Owie" "More" and "Please"--but several of them end up looking a lot like "mark it with a B" from Patty-Cake.
We all love you so--you get attention from everyone--and everybody comments on your sweet nature.
