Duh!

Dillo seems to have forgotten all of his (few) words and today can only say, "DUH!" At top volume, pointing at something, or at nothing. (Pointing is new). He's also finally starting to try and stand up and walk on his own. He's about 6/7 weeks behind where casper was at this age with the walking. However, he is quite advanced in his kazoo playing:



In "tempting fate" news, mr. flea is working on a job application for Cincinnati that's due on the 10th, so I've been browsing zillow and realtor.com, of course. There's a 4 br 2 ba house, looks sort of fourbuilt 1900, for sale for $175K two blocks down from where my grandparents lived for 30 years and I spent most of my days as a baby. In the suburb where my father lives with the excellent public schools.

He walks!

Dillo took his first steps before dinner tonight. He was cruising along the couch and took about 4 steps over to the blue chair (didn't make it and fell.) We all saw it happen, and while Casper was a little whiny and grumpy, we managed to get her excited too.

It turned out the reason Casper was whiny is she's running a fever. She doesn't seem too sick, but is very hot to touch and ate only watermelon for dinner.

I have a "wonder mold kit" and a soccer ball cake pan in my shopping cart at wilton.com. There are some seriously obsessed cake people out there. (A wonder mold kit includes a bell-shaped cake pan with a special rod to ensure even baking, and a doll pick. A doll pick is half a barbie doll, the top half, with a big spike at the bottom. For making princess cakes, of course.)

We acquired a $10 red bike for Casper last night, from Craiglist. It's just okay; the seat is duct-taped a bit, and it's a little dinged up. But, you know, $10. We're discussing whether we should try to paint it pink or something. mr. flea still kind of wants to buy Casper the used $120 Trek bike (pink) she rode on at the local bike store. And since I just sold his backpack on Craigslist for $100, I suppose we could do that. But I mean, $120 for a used bike for a 4 year old? I kind of rebel.

yay; boo

1. Dillo walked across the back yard this afternoon holding onto mr. flea's two fingers.

2. I accidentally put the pizza under the broiler for 18 minutes, instead of on bake at 400. It is edible, but barely.
