Stuart Plays With Deirbhile

Mr. Stuart has decided to begin thinking about crawling around. He hasn't quite figured it out yet but he's well on his way. We're looking forward to him being able to crawl. Not only is it good for babies to crawl around in terms of motor skills but it also gives them an amount of freedom. The less dependent on Janna he is the better.
Stuart just loves the dogs, today he had the opportunity to play with Deirbhile. The dogs just love Stuart, Seamus in particular. Seamus has decided that he's Stuart's grand protector, when Stuart cries he attempts to heard Janna upstairs to deal with him whether Janna is intent on doing so or not.
Stuart meanwhile just loves the dogs. His eyes follow them wherever they go and he's been known to cry when they leave. He's spent more time with Seamus so far, mostly because Deirbhile is outside more and she isn't on eye level with Stuart when he's sitting with us on the couch.
Deirbhile doesn't seem to mind when Stuart grabs her fur and tugs. As you can see he's forcing a hug, or is she forcing a lick of Stuart's hands?
Stuart scratches behind Deirbhile's ears, unintentional perhaps but she seems to enjoy it. Later this afternoon Stuart and I are going to enjoy watching football together. Stuart, what is your profession? Harroh! Harroh! Harroh!

Stuart's First Football Game

Last Saturday we took Stuart to his first MSU football game. Unfortunately, we forgot to take the camera so we have no pictures. Stuart loved the game, he lasted until the 4th quarter at which point he required a diaper change. Janna decided that she would make the sacrifice and take Stuart to be changed. As it turned out, she didn't miss much. MSU beat Bowling Green 28-17. (I'm a nice guy so I won't mention that Michigan lost to Oregon 39-7)

Stuart loved watching the band. He especially enjoyed clapping along to the fight song. I can't wait to take him to his next game, this boy is going to be a football fan. Father is well pleased.
