Milestones

Deacon is climbing the milestone ladder everyday!

Deacon is beginning to hold his cup on his own

He is holding up his head quite well and has been rolling over for about three weeks.

Deacon is very verbal. The above video is of Deacon explaining the components of the stereo to us. The video below is of him gabbing and showing off how well he can hold up his head.

Here's our first attempt at a video! Enjoy!

Deacon's Travels

It sure has been a busy couple of weeks for Deacon.
He's done a little traveling and experienced a developmental milestone in the process!
In addition he turned 3 months old.

The above picture is of Deacon turning over onto his belly while being dressed (I think this is the third time he turned over). Could someone out there help us with a question? This seems really early to be doing at 3 months. Any info or comments would be helpful!

Deacon is really seeing and tracking well. Here he is in a bouncy chair (aka "the spaceship") at Grandma's. He is following black and white pictures that move around a mirrored ball over his head.

Here Deacon is enjoying himself at our nieces' graduation party in Cleveland. He is sporting Indians gear for the occasion. See more pictures here.

Deacon spent July 4th in Arlington, VA celebrating his cousin Paully's wedding.

While in Arlington, Deacon took the metro over to DC for his first visit to our nation's capitol. See more DC pics here.
