Telephone w/o the Telephone

I don't know if it's really telephone but I didn't know what to title it. I thought this was funny and should post it. I'm sure I will hear otherwise if I'm wrong.
This happened today while Rob was watching Baron and I was down in my office getting some work done. He would yell out and I would yell back. This seriously went on for 30 mins. I probably should have been yelling something more educational but I kept up with the "ahhh" as long as he did. Then Rob crushed his head...

Look Ma - No Hands!

Baron has started the process to walking.It's so exciting! He's now taking the courage to stand alone unattached to anything. Rob has been counting and says that he's stood without holding on for over 10 seconds. I have seen it too but it's so darn hard to capture that on camera. The other day I say him take a step and then crash to the floor. I'm sure he had no idea what he was doing.

Kisses and Waves

We've got the kiss thing down but if we could only get him to wave with just one hand instead of two. Rob just told me that he's also starting to say "da da". We'll see if we can get that on camera but I think that we should just stick to "ma ma". Much better...

Reinhardt and Baron

As any new parent knows, introducing your new baby to your animals or the thought of it, is a little stressful. I was worried how the dogs would react to Baron once he was able to move around on his own. With Heidrich the small dog, I knew from the beginning that it would be a struggle for him to accept the new baby in the house. However, Reinhardt has really surprised me. He's this gentle giant that allows Baron to crawl, tug, push and slobber all over. I haven't seen or heard anything that would make any cause for concern and that in itself is such a relief.
The other day Reinhardt was in the room with Baron and I keep hearing this whimpering sound while I was putting away his clothes. I turned around and Baron had a hold of his ear and was pulling it, not wanting to let go all while laughing. Poor Reinhardt, always getting picked on. Although he's learned that Baron tends to share a lot of his food and I think that makes up for it.

Red Wagon Ride

For some reason Rob is so fascinated with the Red Wagon that he won from work a few years back. When Baron was really little, he would keep mentioning getting the wagon out and taking him for a ride. Well, now he finally did it. I think that Rob was more giddy than Baron, he might have actually been drooling in delight.
Now, it's very convenient since all we have to do is strap Baron in, and wheel him next door to see his grandparents.

My First Weekend with Grandma & Grandpa

This past weekend Rob and I went to Chicago for a friends birthday and dropped Baron off for his first visit with Mom and Dad. I was a little nervous at first because we were going to be so far away but I know now that I shouldn't have been.
They said that he was such a good boy and were expecting a few crying fits but he never did. I think that he was just happy to have some new faces to stare at. We all know how Dad likes to entertain. They took him to church where he crawled around near the back,gave him a bath and said he slept through the night (thank goodness!). Mom was nice enough to write everything down so that we knew what happened. When we arrived to pick him up, he was so tuckered out from all the playing, I don't think we were out of their subdivision by the time he fell asleep.
