In person, Eddie is looking more and more like the baby pictures of his dad. Sometimes I see bits of my siblings or my father in him, but mostly Dennis. I'll try and remember to post a picture of Dennis as a child and Eddie as a child and you can see for yourself.
Chicken pox. He still has lots of spots, albeit a fraction of what he had before. The scabs are still around, although far fewer in number. Sometimes when they come off, they leave indentations, which I suppose is what causes the scars. The doctor thinks he should be okay on the scars, but we'll see.
Was a nice day today, so decided to take Eddie for a walk and to Dennis' office to be shown off. As we waited to cross the street, and the cars whizzed by, Eddie's little head followed as each car passed. First all the cars from the left. Then, when the light changed, all the cars from the right. His head would follow each car and then flip back to watch the next car go by. There must have been 20 cars that he watched in this way. It cracked me up.
On the platform at METRO, I figured the train would be even more entertaining, but I think he was a little unsure of his surroundings and it was going a wee bit faster. He wasn't really smiling at anyone on the METRO--seemed a little overwhelmed. But that sure changed once we got to the office. Lina got him warmed up for the rest of the building, as we took him around to everyone, even VP row, he was all smiles and giggly. He really had some people in histerics, and he wasn't even at his best as he'd had a funky day, schedule-wise.
Oh, and the other big news, Eddie is cutting a tooth. He has been giving his gumming toys a workout, and then began on my hand today. I thought he was getting me with an unusally rough nail, but then realized it was a tooth! Not like we can see it, he clamps his mouth down tighter than Fort Knox when we try and get a peek.
