Watson gets Baptized!

We had a great weekend last weekend for Watson's baptism.  Our family came into town and we enjoyed the nice weather outside by going to Piedmont Park with Jason's family and my brother joined us as well.  There was a litter of 10 wk old yellow lab pups that Watson got to play with.  It was the cutest thing ever watching them play with each other.  I wanted to bring one home but Jason refused his only son of this opportunity to grow up with a new pup ;).  We already have 2 that get on my nerves with a baby, so that is a good thing that he kept me grounded!
Watson did so good at his baptism- smiling at the congregation and preacher.  He loved opening all of the presents at lunch afterwards. 
I have been giving him finger foods for about 2 weeks and he has already gotten to the point that he pretty much refuses most baby foods.  He does pretty well with the finger foods but isn't quite good enough with his pincer grasp, so he has a little bit of trouble but it works!
His new "skill" is throwing.  He throws everything!  He's been playing with balls and trying to throw them but now he's gotten pretty good at it.  He's got a strong arm and things can go a ways!  He likes watching it get thrown but then fusses until we go get it because he can't get it yet.

Watson 7-8 months old

New pictures of Watson over the past month are below.  He is getting to be such a little boy and he is starting to show his opinion!  He wants to stand up all of the time now and is scooting around but not crawling yet.  He LOVES yogurt and has even tried refusing his meals in hopes of his yogurt...but dietitian mom isn't falling for that!!  I am working on table foods with him now but he is just playing with them and the dogs are enjoying this process.  He is more and more into the dogs and Tucker has been great with him.  He is also becoming more and more vocal and is holding his arms out for us to pick up and starting to wave (although I don't think he realizes what he's doing quite yet!).  He is getting baptized February 20th so we will have family up and pictures from that in the near future.
