Billy's Mad Creeping Skillz

Just a quick update. Our new Webcam arrived in the mail today, so I thought we'd test-drive it with some video of Billy scooting around the floor. Mommy's webcam operating skillz aren't as mad as Billy's creeping skillz!

You can see the video below or view it directly at YouTube here...



One last note: Billy turned 6 months old today! He's started eating oatmeal cereal, and next week, we're going to start him on veggies.

Until the next update,

Billy Eating Rice Cereal Video

Just a quick update.

Billy got to meet his friend John for the first time this month. John, a loyal UK fan, brought Billy an adorable UK bear. John also helped teach Billy to crawl, and the very same weekend, Billy started creeping across his Grandma Peggy's floor! He can now move his body a couple of inches at a time, so John must be a great teacher!














Billy's been eating Rice Cereal for a couple of weeks now, and he's really enjoying it. I took two quick videos of our lunch-time today for you guys to see just how well - and how messily - Billy eats.

Here's Part One:



(If you can't see it, watch it at YouTube...)

And Part Two:



(Again, if you can't play it, try viewing it at YouTube.)

Hope all are well!

Love,

Karyn, Jeremy and Billy

Billy Went to New Jersey

In mid-September, Billy went on his first road trip to meet his Great Grandmother and his Aunt, Uncle and cousins. The trip had several firsts in it for Billy - his first long road trip, first night spent in a hotel, and he started on Rice Cereal! His first solids!













Billy was really excited about the food, and kept grabbing the spoon and shoving it as far as he could into his mouth. Most of it ended up on his chin, but what he got in his mouth he really enjoyed.

Billy stayed for several days in New Jersey. He got to meet his Aunt Deanna, Uncle Richard, cousins Cristopher, Alexis and Elizabeth, as well as Paula, John and Baba (aka Nicky!). Here he is with his aunt and Uncle, and Elizabeth.










Alexis caught a cold, so we just got a picture of her alone, giving us the all-thumbs-up!

On Tuesday, John took Daddy, Uncle Richard, and Nicky to see the Yankees play the Orioles at Yankees Stadium. Jeremy was so excited to go, because it's the third oldest MLB ballpark (built in 1921), and he wanted to see the Yankees play there before it's torn down (The Yankees are building a new ballpark that will open in 2009). Above you can see Jeremy standing next to a plaque dedicated to Babe Ruth that is on display out in center field with all the other Yankees greats. Billy was too little to go, but hopes that he'll get to go to the ballpark next year!











On Wednesday, Uncle Richard took Mommy, Jeremy and Billy to the Jersey Shore. It was Billy's first time at the beach! Here you can see him in his Point Pleasant hat that we bought on the boardwalk. He also got to go to the aquarium - he'd never seen such big fishies before! Billy really liked the seahorses, but by the time he got to the penguins, he was really hungry. The penguins were getting fed, and Billy was a little jealous, I think. He was certainly telling anyone who'd listen about it!




















But best of all, Billy like spending time with Nan, his Great Gran. She made the funniest faces and smiled at her whenever she paid any attention to him. He certainly told her lots of stories!















Billy's now 5 months old. This weekend he's going back to Ohio to hang out with Grandma Peggy and his Bonfiglio cousins! He also just got his Halloween costume in the mail - he's going to be a monkey for his first Halloween.

We'll be adding more photos then, and possibly even a video of Billy eating. Until next time,

Hugs!

Mommy, Daddy & Billy
