Standing!

CJ has been pulling himself to standing for several weeks now, and I am just now finally getting this caught on video!

7-Month Milestones & Pictures

Although there's no 7-month well baby visit with the pediatrician, CJ had to see the doctor on September 13 anyway. On Monday morning he had a fever and was sent home from daycare. He had only been to daycare for 3 days the previous week and was already sick!

While at the doctor, CJ weighed 15 lbs 7 oz, basically the same as during his 6-month checkup 3 weeks earlier.

CJ's big accomplishments this month were officially crawling a lot (instead of mostly just scooting around on his belly) and pulling himself up to a standing position (though he hasn't let go just yet!).

Learning to drive early!


Working hard...

First Week of School

CJ started school (okay, daycare) this week. He showed no concern over mom leaving him each morning. He loves all the fun toys and the other babies. He's already grabbing everything (and everyone) in sight.

Maggie & Matt's Wedding

CJ is only 6 months old, and he's already been to two weddings! Last weekend he was in his Aunt Maggie's wedding at the Trenton Country Club. Mom pulled him and cousin Brody down the aisle in a wagon. CJ and Brody loved it!

Here are some photos from the big day.

Touring NJ and PA with Grandparents

CJ had a busy couple of weeks playing tour guide to two sets of grandparents! We spent lots of time strolling downtown Princeton and making dinner and just hanging out at home. We also checked out New Hope and George Washington's Crossing, and visited some of the historical sites in Princeton and Philadelphia.

Palmer Square in downtown Princeton

The family at where the Mercer Oak (which had seen and survived the Battle of Princeton during the Revolutionary War) used to be. Somehow we missed the new tree, which is just to the right, in our photo!
