Playing Ball

Tomorrow we head down to Atlanta, and I am nervous, nervous, nervous. It's not the first time we've traveled with N (far from it!), but it's the first time all three of us will share a hotel room. This could get verrrrry interesting.
I think N is currently working on more teeth. He's drooling like a St. Bernard, and his fingers are constantly in his mouth. Although he's also figured out that his fingers are good for pointing to things, too. He prefers to pick what he eats now (go figure, his favorites are fruit and puffs), he asks for his "ba-ba" (bottle) when he wants a drink and today he started playing "ball" with me! We'd been rolling an old soccer ball of D's back and forth, but today he started "dribbling" (drop it, pick it up, drop it, pick it up, etc.), "passing" the ball to me (putting it in front of me on the couch), "stealing" it (pushing it away from me) and doing some "fancy" hand work (rolling that puppy like a Powerball). We had a blast!
And we did finally get a hair cut. Yay! N didn't mind the cutting, but the trimmer was another matter entirely. However, he came out of it unscathed, although now he officially looks like a little boy and not a baby. Kind of sad for Mommy.
I think I've mentioned that I'm working on my snarky greeting card line. I've approved the sketch of my spokes-cartoon, Bebe W. Jones. Wink Publications now has its own Facebook page (you can find it on my Facebook page) and Bebe has her own Twitter account, too. Eventually, I'll start a blog for her, but I've got enough on my plate right now without adding an alter ego to the mix. However, I'm very excited to be this far. I'm hoping to get my second sketch soon so that I can get some samples and the word out!
I'm going to try to upload a few of N's one year portraits. Becky McClellan (of McClellan Photography — www.McClellanPhotography.com), a former coworker of mine, took these shots up at Furman, and they all turned out SO WELL. Becky rocks!
