Walking Video!

This was last week. He has already figured out how to get from laying down to standing by pulling up on one of us. I'll try to get video of that soon as well.

But for now, enjoy!

Next year with teeth!

Things have been busy around here! Since I last wrote, Solly has started daycare, grew another tooth, learned a bunch of new "words", started to eat yogurt and finger foods, and most importantly, learned to STAND! Busy boy!

First up, I finally am getting around to posting his eight month portrait.



The "making of" photos demonstrate his new love of ripping paper.

A play date with his buddy, Elon.

Passover was much fun! Here is one of two full tables.

Plus another table for the food!

We had 13 adults and four little ones, including his friend, Leo Hamm.

Baby Elon was there to celebrate.

Passover chaos.

Chad Gadya masks!

Solly's babysitter, Becca, was there too!

So at the beginning of the night, Solly wasn't really standing. Then he saw that Leo can do it, and he realized that so could he!

Playing with Leo.

Solly's turn to eat!

The day after Passover, the Selkin clan packed up for a short hike. Babaloo now rides shotgun, and I've been demoted to the back with Solly. Sadly, once we got there, we realized that (despite the posted rules online), no dogs are allowed at Tacoma Nature Center. Bummer.

A short hike around the lake.

Getting in touch with the trees...

Phew, what a busy weekend!

Now things are getting back to normal, and Solly has been learning lots of new things. Looking forward to what he's up to by the next post!

Solly in Florida

Finally getting these Florida photos up, so I can get his 8-month shots, Passover, and some very important video.

The trip to Florida, in photos. (Note the two new teeth!)


First time in the big-boy restaurant high chair.


He was promised some time in the pool, but the weather didn't cooperate. One of many times he put on his suit...

We spent some time in a cool wetland.

Baby alligator! Baby birds!

Lots of birds. Solly loves birds.

Our trip got cut short by a typical Florida downpour. Solly felt more at home in the rain than in the sun!

Finally, it was warm enough for a quick dip in the kiddy pool at Bubbe's place (they don't let babies in the real pool)...

We spent some time at "The Girls", which is technically a store, but it is so much more!

"Wildlife" at "The Girls":

This is Pinky the Parrot, photos taken in honor of our neice, Pinky.

Thanks to Cousin Casey for the cool T.

Next up, Butterfly World.

BUTTERFLIES!

Butterflies all over us!

Butterfly World was awesome! We could feed lorikeets!

More animals to see!

Finally, in a real pool! Grammy Frieda's place is a bit cooler about the baby thing. Solly LOVED it!

Hanging out with Bubbe!

Hanging out with Poppy!

Hanging out with GG!

Some new meetings: Bev and Grammy Freida.

All in all, a great trip. All the photos are up on Snapfish (see link on the sidebar) if you want to see hundreds more.

Since then, so much has happened! Will work on posts this week.
