Wow, August has been a sparse blogging month... I suppose that is because this is the month when Oscar has really gotten his feet under himself and he is starting to really do some damage! Now he can stand, pull himself up on furniture, topple over, make very tentative efforts to take steps, and discover the hazards of gravity. It's fun, but exhausting, to watch. He's going through something developmental where he feels compelled to pick out small shapes in a large field of color. He can find the tiniest speck of dust, pick it up and examine it. One of his favorite things to do is crawl and scoot around on the floor hunting for (and then trying to eat) lint and dust bunnies.
We've really been running ourselves ragged with work, going through all of our possessions, and fixing up our basement (Champ is moving in down there in a few weeks). Oscar spent Sunday at Shannon and Patrick's place, while we abused ourselves in the interest of home improvement. He really loves going over there--they have a dog (Oliver) who he follows around (but is always just out of reach).
Today he had his 9 month doctor's appointment--now he's really "one of us" (like in the movie Freaks?)--he's been on the outside longer than the inside. They told us to feed him more, because his weight gain has hit a plateau... So, afterwards, we went to Mark's Kitchen in Takoma Park and he ate sweet potatoes and grilled tofu. He will still eat pretty much anything. The doctor told us not to give him any hot dogs, which made me laugh. My baby eat hot dogs--never! Christian is a bit disturbed by his acceptance--and dare I say--enthusiasm for tofu...
