The reason I'm rarely here anymore:

[rbnyc]

He's 9 1/2 months old and starting to walk!

I still lurk from time to time and sometimes post very bad jokes.

Miss you all.

[BrklynLiberal]

2. A very worthwhile distraction!! And adorable too!!

[rbnyc]

17. Thanks.

This is the first year since I was about 14 that I've had a tan because I take him to the park so often. We have great parks in our neighborhood. Hope we don't get proced out of here too soon.

27. Enjoy this precious little boy -- soon he will look much different --

and this little person will exist only in photographs -- and your memory!

[rbnyc]

28. I dream a lot of what he'll look like..

...when he's older. I wonder if I'm right.

[Catshrink]

3. How adorable!

[rbnyc]

[GOPisEvil]

4. Look at Garrison!!!

What a gorgeous little guy he is!

:hi: Rene! :loveya:

[rbnyc]

13. He loves the camera too!

I want to get him an agent, but I'm too busy. I think my husband should do it, but he doesn't know where to start.

:hi:

[Texasgal]

5. What a cutie!

That's okay, your forgiven!!! :P

[rbnyc]

19. Thanks.

I appreciate that.

[redqueen]

6. Bless you for posting those!

:loveya:

What an angel... is he walking or still cruising on the furniture?

Miss you! :hi:

[rbnyc]

9. He's an expert cruiser...and

...can take 2 or 3 steps before falling down. He doesn't like to walk with anyone holding his hands. He likes to do things on his own.

He did fall on the cat the first time he took a couple steps on his own. We weren't expecting him to walk. He was holding onto a ceder chest then he just took off toward the cat. Step, step, thud! He got scratched and it was scary, but it wasn't that bad--healed up right away.

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

22. He's so social too.

He loves people. He's so well behaved in public because people just fascinate him so much he forgets if he's tired or uncomfortable.

Thanks.

EDIT: typo

[wildeyed]

15. Wow, he really looks like his daddy.

(I am assuming that is dad down in your sig line.)

What a big boy!

[rbnyc]

23. Yup.

They're both pretty cute. ;-)

Thanks.

:hi:

[Obamarama]

16. What a happy, handsome kid!

And a member of the Future Democrats Of America, no doubt!? What's not to like?

[rbnyc]

24. We do listen to a lot of Air America.

And he IS named after Garrison Keillor.

If you're ever in the Boston area I want to hug him :hug:.

[rbnyc]

30. That would be great.

I've never been to Boston!

[Bunny]

31. Oh how darling! I can't believe he's that old already!

Give him a great big kiss! :)

[Elidor]

32. The kid's a ringer for Paul Wellstone!

Amazing resemblance.

[no name no slogan]

33. The kid's a bit taller, though...

:P

(FULL DISCLOSURE: I've known Paul since he was just a college professor in MN. In fact, I got involved in Democratic politics because of him, in 1988, when I was a college student).

[dolo amber]
