26 & 27

We continue to fall behind - as I write this, a 7-month-old Silvan kicks and gurgles on a blanket by the fire. Even so, I soldier on.









Silvan is constantly growing - he's added several consonants to his verbal repertoire, he can confidently feed himself from a bottle and, less confidently, with a spoon. He's done some sippy cup work. Also, he gets up to some pretty fancy acrobatics in his bouncy chair (courtesy of his Aunt Ann).









It occurred to me that a majority of the pictures on this blog show Silvan and me together. This merely reflect the fact that jd is quicker with the camera - in actual fact Silvan spends much more time with jd than with myself. In an effort to correct the record, I've included the following pictures.




And, just to round things out, here's a shot of Silvan with jd's brother, whom we affectionately refer to as 'Psycho Uncle Mike'.
