Where'd my baby go?

Duncan got his first tooth. And then the 2nd,3rd,and 4th with in a couple of weeks. Tooth #1 is only 6 days old when this picture was taken, so I let him use my old prosthetic for effect. I will miss the big toothless grin.


My neighbor always tells me that her two boys were total opposites growing up, and Shane's Aunt Betty said of her two boys that she had "two only children." I am curious as to how ours will turn out. Roland always only played with Buckwheat (the white one), and Duncan always plays with Oscar (the black one). Roland was never scared of anything, Duncan is easily startled (and one of the most pitiful looking creatures on the face of the planet when such event occurs). The list goes on. The really surprising thing is that Oscar let this kind of thing go on. Duncan's first 1/2 pull-up. And tada, the first full pull-up. From this moment (7/22/08), it has been officially ON. No rest for the wicked, eh?

Duncan also had is first fight. It was a rough bout, and at times I was skeptical of the outcome, but Duncan managed a TKO. "Double stuff"- was not enough to take out my boy.
It just seems you can never capture how cute or funny things look on film, but Duncan had the prettiest wavy hair on this day. Excuse the mosquito bites.
We are looking forward to some of the grandparents in the coming weeks, so hopefully we will have lots of great pictures. For the moment, we are going to try to weather the storms as we await Hannah and Ike.
Our love to everyone.
