However, I have managed to burn a bunch of pictures to CDs, and then deleted them off my computer, so I cleared up some memory (a whopping 10%) which I promptly filled up again by downloading some of the following snaps of Fraser....This is Fraser enjoying some time outside in our backyard during that brief warm spell we had at the end of March. (This was also the brief time during which our backyard was not covered in snow. It is now again covered in snow, even though it is April. Please, someone remind me why the hell I live in New England...)
Please note Fraser's snazzy sneakers which he was wearing for the very first time on Match 31, 2007. He wasn't too sure about the shoes, finding it rather difficult to lift his feet high enough that he didn't trip over them, but he thought the laces were great!
Fraser, my two dogs, one visiting dog, and I left Andy, the cats and fish at home for five days to go down and visit my parents in New York. Fraser had a great time visiting his grandparents and was thoroughly 
spoiled by love and attention in that magic way only grandparents can really accomplish. We celebrated pre-Easter and Fraser got lots of cool presents in his Easter basket, including his very first cell-phone! (Sure, he has a cell phone. I don't have a cell phone, but my kid has a cell phone)Fraser was also allowed to go out to
eat at a restaurant (with interesting people to stare unabashedly at for as long as he wanted to) not once, but twice, during our stay. As you can see, he was beside himself with excitement. (That may have had more to do with the fact that he could watch all the cars going by outside the window than with anything he was eating. Thank God for small pleasures). This is also a good shot for showing Fraser's top two teeth which are just about half way out now and which have allowed Fraser to discover all new levels of satisfaction when engaging in one of his favorite games, biting mommy. All in all it was a very enjoyable trip. It was good that Fraser was as witty and charming as he was, since he had his work cut out for him trying to make up for the horrible horrible dogs who managed to, between the three of them, go to the bathroom in the house and on the back deck, get up on the furniture twice, eat a quarter of a bar of soap, steal a bagel off the kitchen table, eat roughly a pound of paper, bark at every neighbor that came by, terrify all the neighborhood squirrels and knock Fraser flat on his face numerous times. Yeah for dogs.
Fraser celebrated his first official Easter at his great uncle Scott's house and received a number of gifts from his great Aunt Marcia including this shark pillow which Andy apparently made in home-ec and sent to Marcia for her kids many moons ago. (Marcia is next to me. Andy's aunt Sandy is on the end) Andy claims to have no memory of this, likely because now that I know he can sew I have number of new items to add to his honey-do list. Fraser was rather more interested in trying to eat the bag and the tissue paper than in investigating his new shark, but as they say, "De gustibus non est disputandum."So, Happy Belated Easter everyone! I will post Fraser's 10 month pictures tomorrow, once I get them off the camera. For anyone who is interested I also finally filled in the pictures on my previous post too, which appears below this one. Cheers!
