Abe turns 8! (months)

The two guys smiling for the camera. Check out those two big top teeth! He even has two more popinn' out up top.

We always take a picture of Abe and Banjo together on his birthday. Doesn't Abe look big next to Bannie?

Today is Abe's 8-month birthday! We celebrated by going to Moose's Tooth pizza for a slice and a salad for lunch. Although Emily was tempted by the triple sausage, triple mushroom special pizza so she order a small of that instead of a slice and a salad. The fun part was that we gave Abe part of bread stick to chew on. At first he didn't know what to do with it, so we could tear off tiny pieces for him to eat. Then we gave him a bigger chunk that he could put in his mouth and chew on. I was a little surprised that he was able to take out some bites out of the stick!

"Check me out! I can feed myself now!"

Ah, a nice piece of bread makes a Birthday Boy happy.

After lunch we went to Barnes & Noble and got Abe some birthday stories. We bought him a Dr. Seus 6-pack (6 stories in one book!), Rikki Tikki Tumbo, and The Little Engine That Could. And then the adults bought themselves a little treat (Dark Chocolate Cherry Frappacino.....yummm........).

For dinner we made a Pumpkin Soup and a Quinoa salad out of a Moosewood Cookbook. The salad was so-so, but the soup was super tasty.

It's not even 8:25, and the Little Buddy is already down for the night. SCORE!

Check out the video I shot tonight of Abram. He's beginning to skootch backwards and pivot. He'll be crawling around our place in no time (Gulp!).

He's got quite a lot of teeth! The better to bite you with, I'm sure. Pretty soon he'll be running all around!

Those are good pictures. The one with the teeth he looks so much older. He is going to be crawling in no time. He wants to get around and see his world better. Poor little Banjo doesn't know his days of solitude are almost over. He will be hunted down. Give the boy a big sloppy kiss for me.
