Today was Edward's nine-month birthday. After taking his "official" nine-month photo in the familiar spot on our couch, Mary took advantage of some great Indian Summer weather this afternoon to get some outdoor shots of Edward. He's grown quite adept at posing, and even has a ready smile most of the time as well. He seemed to enjoy this outdoor session, lazing about in the too-long grass and the growing number of leaves scattered in the yard. He sees a place to play, I see impending work. One day, he'll get to share in that with me. Enjoy it while you can, Ed!

His schedule is back to normal after traveling on Sunday. He had a good visit with a lot of relatives that haven't seen him in quite a while, so he had changed quite a bit in the intervening months. He enjoyed playing with his cousin, Bailey, as well as the many others gathered for lunch.
