THE AMAZING BOY
He sits!
He stands!
He is the amazing Gus!
And yesterday he shocked the pants off of us when he climbed a step! A concrete step! (No picture of that - we were too busy getting him down and being amazed that he can apparently climb steps.)

IMPRESSIONS
August's Barack Obama pose: Staring at the horizon, seen from below, vaguely totalitarian.
August's John McCain pose: Condescending smile.
IT'S TRUE, IT'S TRUE
Poppa shaved off his beard! Of course, by the time he got around to posing for a picture it had started to grow back.
SURLY & GUS
This is Surly:
He is a new puppy, and he belongs to our friends Kristen and Sean. Gus likes to play with Surly.
Coda is Kristen and Sean's other dog. He is very gentle, and lets Gus pull on his ears and climb on his back. Surly doesn't do those things yet, because he's just a puppy.
We like to visit with Surly and Coda!

ANOTHER FIRST
We finally hooked the baby seat onto the back of my bicycle and took the little guy for a ride. We had to wait for a pretty warm day. Last weekend, we got our wish.
We took him over to the Greenway high bridge over Hiawatha.
We thought he'd be excited about biking, but his initial reaction was pretty mediocre. At least he likes it better than the car! Hopefully we'll get another ride in before it gets too cold. Then, next spring - this is how we'll be getting around!
Doesn't he look delighted?

RAKING (AND EATING) LEAVES
Last weekend, August helped us rake the leaves.
He mostly helped by crawling off his blanket and trying to eat as many as possible,
but it was fun nonetheless.

SWIMMING
Gus and I went swimming today.
He met a new friend:
He played in the fountains:
And he accidentally crawled through one (you can hear him protest when he gets to the other side.)

7 MONTHS
Our home network is still down, so we popped into the library to bring you this quick post. Little August is 7 months, and growing fast! We'll be posting more photos as soon as things are back up and running.
