White Coat Ceremony

I'm way overdue getting these pictures on here. Here are some photos of Eric's white coat ceremony. Eric's now seeing patients in clinic. Another step closer to getting out of school!

Eric posing for his picture with Dean Ferillo after being presented with his white coat.

We even caught the former Dean, Arthur Dugoni, walking by!

Eric and some of the other second years.

Me and some of the other second year wives. They have made this whole experience sooo much more fun! You guys are great!

Dare-devil

Make sure you look at all the videos I posted below this one...I have a bad habit of posting a million things all at once. These videos are absolutely A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. I might be biased, but I doubt it.

Stay tuned to the end to hear a possible first word.

lovin' the beach

Come get me, mom!

Unlikely Toy

8 months and cruising

Cruise has really hit an age where he's progressing by leaps and bounds. He's expanding his vocabulary--we get him to say da-da-da-da all the time--and he makes the cutest yelling noises. He's starting to piece things together, like he'll remember when we hide something from him and go back to get it later. He's eating a ton of food (and actually digesting it well).

He's doing what looks like the worm wherever he wants to go and climbing up on (and in) everything in his path.

I let him explore sand for the first time the other day. I was surprised that he only tried to explore it with his mouth 2 or 3 times. He was fascinated by it. I thought it was cute to get the bridge right behind him. Cruise's hair puts the Golden Gate to shame.. he makes it look like a dull brown =). On days like the one when these pictures were taken, I love living in San Francisco. I can't believe how gorgeous it is.

When he hits a rug with his walker he'll lift up the tray with his hands so the wheels go over the edge of the rug. He's also starting to exhibit the first signs of major frustration. When he can't get his walker to go where he wants he clenches his five teeth and makes a noise somewhere between a growl and a squeal. He'll try and try to force his walker to move while he makes that noise. It's so interesting to see him showing such real-person emotions. It makes me realize that I'm actually going to have to start parenting soon. Better start reading some books.
