This is an exciting time in the life of The Doodler. He is making that transformation from baby to toddler ever-so-slowly, but with marked progress. Here are a few examples...
In the category of Things Which Doodle Can Do That Doodle Didn't Do Before:
- This morning, I went to get him out of his crib, and he was sitting up. Curious. And also, HOLY SHIT. I'm not ready for this.
- He is beginning to respond in conversations, or at least, in my mind he is. For instance, I asked him today if he wanted a bottle, and he said "mum mum." Then I repeatedly said "ma ma" to him, which probably annoyed him as much as I think it did, and he repeated "buh buh" back to me. So, we're getting there.
In the category of Images on the Television Which Doodle Enjoys:
- Elmo (gah!!!!)
- Jeff Probst (mmm hmm)
- Joel McHale (host of E!'s "The Soup") - we have concluded that Doodle thinks that it's his dad because they kinda, sorta, in a squinted-eye kind of way look alike
In the category of New Things Which Doodle Eats:
- Graham crackers
- Gerber Puffs (actually I eat these too. You wouldn't think that a sweet potato puff would be good, but, it is surprisingly tasty.)
In the category of Needs Improvement:
- Sleeping. We still wake up several times during the night, and for the past 3 nights in a row, he's woken up around 1 a.m. rarin' to go. I haven't seen Conan O'Brien so much since I was in college.
- Did I mention sleeping?
As a small aside, the Cavs eked out a win last night in overtime. I cannot take the nailbiter games.

Doodle will make up for the lack of sleeping when he becomes a teen.
Great update!
You haven't seen Holy Shit until the day it walks. And then you're praying he'd go back to just sitting again :)
Oh, and cool Sketch Factor graphic. I have artistic envy (but am eternally grateful for the fish)
Royalty-free photography... it's da bomb.
