First Stand, then Step...

Jasper,

Today you stood up by yourself for a good five seconds. You're gonna be walking running around the house in no time. *Sigh* time to re-babyproof the house. You spent most of the morning playing around with Momma, Daddy, Stockton and Oatmeal the bear. You were crawling around chasing Stockton when you got him cornered and he popped you in the face. You cried for a minute, but you're fine now, Stockton didn't have his claws out. You gotta learn that everyone needs their space sometimes, even kitties. Other than that you just talked with Oatmeal and used Momma and Daddy as jungle gyms.

Now you and Momma are taking a nap while I track the Red Sox-Orioles game on the web. It's Patriots Day in Massachusetts, so the Boston Marathon is being run and the Red Sox game started early. Justin Masterson is pitching today since Dice-K is on the disabled list. Right now they're up 3-1 in the bottom of the 3rd inning. If they win today they'll be over .500 for the first time other than the first game of the season. Momma's been worried about them already this year, but I keep telling her that it's still early. Hopefully when you're older we can go see the Red Sox play at Fenway Park, especially since you're a Red Sox baby and all.

Too soon I have to go to work, though I'm sure you'll be awake again before I leave. Maybe we can all have some lunch and play outside in the weed-free lawn together before I go. And tomorrow you and I get to hang out together for the morning while Momma and Colleen go walking. Who knows what fun and exciting stuff we'll do when it's just us boys!

Daddy
