That smile!

[ulysses]

5. I know - born politician, right?

:D

[SOteric]

3. Wow! I can't believe how fast he's growing.

He's so much less the bundle of smiles and nappies and blossoming into a little person.

[ulysses]

7. it's daily.

Scares the hell out of me. He spins Ms Uly's desk chair around and goes "wheeee!" now. :D

[RetroLounge]

6. Wow! He is really getting big...

What an amazingly cute smile too...

:hi:

[ulysses]

8. yeah, big enough to take things off my desk,

which is what he's doing now...

[buddhamama]

9. what a joy he is !

Chris is a little guy now. :) I want to bite his rosy cheeks.

thanks for the pics, and the big ol' smile they've given me. :hi: :hug:

Jeans, tshirt and flannel. My grunge boy. :D :hi:

It always amazes me...to see how fresh their vision is!

The world is new-minted for him...he is so excited to be learning and exploring!

You're doing a first-rate job with him!

Congrats to all three of you........ :toast:

He buried himself up to his neck in a leaf pile before I could get the camera.

:hi:

[xchrom]

15. cute! cute! cute!

Then it does. :D

[xchrom]

[ulysses]

18. lol!

Yes, there is that. :D

[bertha katzenengel]

19. He's so cute, he oughta be arrested!

WOW :bounce:

You could make a killing just renting him out for five seconds at a time - for hugs.

[ulysses]

21. you should hear the laugh

Actually, you can, although it's from about 4 months old, so ten months ago. We've been told we could bottle it. :)

:loveya:

he is growing at an accelerated rate, isn't he? :wow:

[ulysses]

25. well, he turned 14 months on Thursday.

He's not especially big for his age. Nicely proportioned, though. :D

[CatWoman]

26. it's not the size

it's the running around like he's the road runner :)

Seems like it was only a couple months ago I was holding him in my arms as a helpless little bundle.

now look at him :)

you have my sympathy - "terrible 2's" right around the corner :hi:

[ulysses]

27. he is hitting that now, yes.

Not sure if it's early, but...http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5876630

You are so lucky to have such a delight in your life, ulysses! He's adorable.

[ulysses]

29. hey, midlo!

Yes, yes we are. :) :hi:

[QMPMom]

30. He is absolutely adorable. I bet he give great hugs and sloppy kisses!

[ulysses]

but his kisses these days are more gentle head butts.

[bicentennial_baby]

32. He gets more beautiful every day, i swear....

what joy for you....sigh :)

:loveya:

and a :hug: for the lil angel :)

[ulysses]

33. he'll want your sig graphic when he wakes up from his nap.

We looooove Teletubbies. I'm still hoping that someone will explain to me why they live in a fallout shelter, though.

Thanks, bibaby!

Don't leave me behind
I'm only two feet tall
I've got a lot to offer
The present is all I know

Hey could you wait for me
You're moving way too fast
If you could see what I see
You'd want to make this moment last

Chorus:
Here is the spirit of beginning
To the shape of the world
That we're living in
The goodness of human nature
Spins the dice every time a new life begins

Won't you take my hand
I'm really not all that slow
Step a little like me
You can watch my feet
Oh the places we'll go

Don't you understand
I just want to be like you
I'm countin' on you rather? patiently?
'Cause you were once just like me

Chorus

[ulysses]

[ulysses]

40. thanks, fy and you're welcome.

How are you feeling?

[flamingyouth]

45. Okay, thanks

In some pain and need to check in with the doctor on Monday. Still trying to get into the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and will be checking in with them on Monday as well. I think I need to see an oncologist instead of my surgeon right now.

But... I'm hanging in there, keeping up my spirits. My family and friends have been so amazing. :)

[ulysses]

definitely keep your spirit up.

Thinking about you here. :hug:

[flamingyouth]

50. Thank you so much, uly

I really appreciate it. And keep the pics of that gorgeous kid coming! Nothing like a happy baby to lift all of our spirits! :hug:

[ulysses]

52. I've been there

with the cancer trip - which, incidentally, is why Chris is adopted.

Much strength to you, my friend.

[flamingyouth]

54. I've read parts of what you've posted here

You and your wife are strong people. And adoptive parents rock!!! :D

[BlueIris]

36. Still a very wise child.

As cute as his face is, I like the last pic the best. That pic of him toddling off to see the world is so sweet.
