"Mr. Gorbachev: Tear down this wall!"

John looked jaunty before church in his yellow-striped seersucker shirt and green-striped seersucker cap. (No, as a gentleman, he did not wear his cap in Mass!)

We tried these fashionable eyeglasses on John again. You may want to refer to this earlier post. See how this boy's head has grown!
Tonight we went out to dinner and offered John a lemon to taste. Despite this funny expression, he actually put it to his mouth and sucked on it four or five times.
We have installed one baby gate. This one doesn't quite work with our stairway set-up, so we'll be trying another kind. In the meanwhile, we have it attached with zip ties. John was immediately intrigued.

Click here for video of John trying to shake down the gate. He'd been standing there for a good minute already shaking the gate when I grabbed the video camera and this clip ends with his sigh of resignation.
