So I gather people have been wondering why I haven't posted recently, especially when so much has been going on with Fraser lately. The sad truth is that we have run out of memory on our computer due to the plethora of Fraser photos and videos I have saved and we haven't quite got around to purchasing a DVD burner to remove said plethora, so I can't download any of the photos or videos off our camera. Sure, I could post on entry without pictures (as I am doing here) but where is the fun in that?

So, for now we can pretend and when I actually get my life organized enough to purchase and install a burner, I will fill in the blanks. Here .... is where I will put the very cute picture of Fraser sitting on the chair for his 9 month birthday shot. This month I only got one picture of him there since he kept trying to rip the "9 month" sign down and eat it. Here is where I will put the picture of him grabbing the sign.... and here is him eating it ......

Fraser also attended his uncle PJ and aunt Bethany's wedding where he wore a very cute sailor suit for at least part of the evening. (Insert picture here) Overall Fraser was a real trooper and behaved well despite being kept up too late and carted around like a handbag all weekend. Of course he made us pay in spades when we got home by pointing out that disturbing his sleep schedule will not be without repercussions.

This past Friday evening Fraser began crawling forward for the first time ever. He very thoughtfully waited to achieve this feat until his father was home from work and his keekey and grandpa were up visiting, which made all present very happy. It turns out that Fraser probably lacked only sufficient motivation to move forward, and said motivation was provided by a bowl of cat food placed across the playroom. Now he will crawl if other equally enticing items are available, for example: shoe laces, plastic bags, and any pointy, sharp objects.

My mother has been nice enough to post two videos of Fraser from the weekend on utube. One shows Fraser crawling, the other shows Fraser walking behind his new push toy.

Finally, yesterday during a particularly amusing game of "Mommy's gonna tickle Fraser" I noticed that Fraser's top two teeth are definitely on the way. I can't feel them yet, but the little white spotty lines are now present. Fraser confirmed this hypotheses by being very cranky and squirmy all night last night, using his pterodactyl language to convey "Damn my mouth hurts! Can't you give me anything for this pain woman????"
