We took a trip to the aquarium in Baltimore, and it was pretty amazing. They actually have a very large sea turtle there. Calypso is missing one of his flippers, which is why he is kept there. He lives in their artificial reef along with sharks and stingrays and a variety of fish.
William enjoyed being there, though he slept through some of it and spent a good chunk of time just happily chewing on his carrier straps. He really seemed to enjoy the jellyfish exhibit, though. Several ladies smiled at him and commented on how curious he was and how fascinated he was with the jellyfish. It was so much fun to watch him.
If that's not enough to make us proud, we had to hang the baby gate because our little guy is now on the move! He's unstoppable. He started scooting backward, then forward, and now he's crawling all around. He's really amazing, but he's still losing his balance sometimes and he has hit his poor head several times. Mom especially has a hard time letting him figure things out, and she'd really like to cushion his head with a little baby helmet of some kind. 
There have been a couple of other firsts, and seconds!. First cold, complete with fever! He got lots of cuddles from mommy and daddy. Then, just a couple weeks later, second fever! This time daddy was sick too, so they got to cuddle together and get lots and lots of sleep.
First tooth! And second tooth!
First solids! And second. And third. This little boy likes everything. Peas, sweet potatoes, carrots, apples. He really enjoys eating, and he likes chewing on the spoon too.

We feel so blessed to have this little boy, who is so sweet, so cheerful, and so interested in everything around him. It's a joy to watch him grow and learn.
