Here he's ready for school even if his parents aren't.

His obstacle course in the back yard.

Notice Bali's long tail hanging below the bench. It seems a little too long. Is this a sign of things to come?

Here's his last "milk tooth." The permanent teeth push out the milk teeth as if they were a cap. This is the only one we found--the rest he swallowed. There was no tooth fairy, we don't want to lie to our kid.

Bali on his way to school. He's always on time, but we're always late.

A 53-pounder at only five months.

He loves the cool tiles. Notice the permanent presence of the shop-vac.

Bali's bird sanctuary. Can you find the bird?

He loves his new beef stick and thinks the chaisse lounge is his.

Peanut butter is my favorite.
