Free and easy!

September 9 - October 3 2007

Another month has passed, and our little guy gets bigger and bigger. The main change: he's lost his brace! Yes, Jamie was given a clean bill of health by his new orthopedist! We were so excited when we heard, we danced around the doctor's office. I'm sure doctors get that all the time.

After he busted free of his brace, we realized just how long this boy is! We're thinking he might be just as tall as his Uncles Dan and Jon and Auntie Jennifer. Maybe taller. Length isn't all he shares with his Uncle Jon. Check out the picture from this month and you'll see what I mean. I think they may be related.

The General is really coming out in him. First, he demands prompt attention. If you don't comply, he will drop you. Or at least make your ears ring. Second, he can sit at attention himself: no more floppy head! He gets stronger every day. When you hold his upper body, those little legs do their job! See the video. Lastly, he scrutinizes everything. Every detail must be gleaned, from colors, to texture, to taste. Finally, his hands and mouth are "moving with a purpose!" Just like a soldier!

Gotta keep going...
