In honor of his 10-month birthday, Edward is taking a mega-nap. Maybe that offers a window of blogging opportunity. We took his traditional couch shot this morning. He wasn't really in the mood for sitting still. Actually, he never is anymore. This may be the last one of these we can manage. (By the way, those of you lucky enough to be on the Arizona Geraghtys mailing list might recognize this sweater from last year--still a baby fashion statement!)

It will come as no surprise to faithful blog readers that our picture volume has proven too much for our poor camera battery. For the last few weeks it just hasn't been up to the task of documenting Edward's every move. The "low battery" warning seems to flash every time we turn on the camera. Charging doesn't take too long, so we know it's not getting much juice. We finally broke down and got a new battery. Actually, two, because let's be honest. We surely will go through another one just as quickly.

The cruising continues. As seen here, Edward now spends more time standing next to his exersaucer than actually sitting in it. His teacher at daycare says she thinks he might just skip crawling and go right from rolling to walking. John says he has a new appreciation for the cartoon "Baby Blues" in which middle child Hammie was pictured rolling everywhere as an infant.

Yesterday I put Ed in these comfy sweats for his naptime and when he woke up to play on the shamrock blanket it was a bit of a green overload. At least the cups provide some color variation.

I told a co-worker that today was Ed's 10-month birthday and she gasped--"How can that be?" And Grandma sent Ed a birthday email with a similar sentiment. The time is flying and we're enjoying every minute!
