Philip

What Philip Means

You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people.
Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people's problems.
Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest.

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.
Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.
Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

What's" Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Getting Toothier!

I have 3 teeth now! THREE! And another coming in. So I have the 2 middle ones on the bottom and soon will have the 2 beside the middle ones on the top. Now I can bite for real. And, hard, too. You all had better watch out because I do like to bite fingers and hands.

News

Philip crawled on his knees for the first time on Sunday. Just a little ways and now he's back to scooting. I'm thinking it was the tile floor we were on at the time - I guess he didn't want to drag himself across it?

Yesterday was his first day at daycare. We've got him going less than 6 hours a day for the time being. When Grandma leaves, he will have to go to fulltime and Stephanie will be joining him.

I took him to the doctor for his 9-month checkup last week. He was 29.25 inches tall and 22 pounds 6 ounces. That puts him in only the 75 percentile for both. John's wondering why he dropped but, hey, he JUST got 2 teeth last week so he's not eating like babies with teeth yet. I'm sure he'll pick back up again.

My Very First

I got a tooth last night. And the 2nd one is about to pop thru too. Daddy & Mommy were wondering why I was so crabby and sleepless last night. Daddy's sad because I'm not a little toothless baby anymore. Mommy thinks it's cool.

Sorry, Mom

There will be no more resting on the couch. not anymore. Not when there is a curious 7-month-old scooting around the place. He likes to check stuff out. His favorite so far seems to be the video tapes on the shelf under the tv. But he has also found my desk, the extension cord, and the kids' toy area. Luckily, most of the little toys are put up high but you never know when one will show up. This weekend, I caught him chewing on a french fry that somebody dropped on the floor.

Speaking of not getting any rest - Philip woke up last night but he wasn't really awake. He was kind of between asleep and awake. He was crying but it was like he couldn't wake up. He would flail his arm around trying to grab onto something but at the same time try to push me away. He does this once in awhile. I don't know if it's night terrors or what but it takes awhile to calm him down and you have to keep him calm for about 20 minutes before you can actually lay him back down in his bed even if he seems to have fallen back to sleep.
