John turned 13 the day before this picture was taken. For his birthday gala, he took 5 friends to a paintball range in 32 degree rainy weather.
You hung out in the car and went to a McDonald's to get post-battle provisions for the crew.

260 Days -- or -- 37 Weeks and 1 Days
Well this week you've been fighting a cold. It makes all kinds of nice things come out of your nose. It wouldn't be so bad if you would let us wipe it off before you do the job yourself.
Seriously the pediatrician also said you have an ear infection in the left ear and prescribed Amoxicillin. I remember that stuff. You actually seem to like it...at least more than you like Tylenol.
You haven't had much of an appetite since getting your cold and you have a slight fever every now and then. But you're still OK most of the time.
Today you were able to lean forward from a sitting position and actually get your knee back under you. This is what's been keeping you from crawling. We think it will be any day now when you figure out how to move an arm or leg forward. No rush though since we haven't baby-proofed the house yet.
Champ had surgery on his next one week ago today. They put in staples to close the incision and of course there is no bandage. So he looks pretty gruesome. We've nicknamed him "Franken Champ." The staples will come out maybe next Wednesday. He's much happier now that he doesn't have that fatty lump under his neck skin.
What's going on in the world? Let's see. President Bush is in the Middle East. John Kerry endorsed Barack Obama for President yesterday. Hillary won the primary in New Hampshire on Tuesday. All of this will be in a history book by the time you can comprehend it.

Although you haven't started to crawl yet you are on the verge. You can stand while holding on to something such as your walker. Right now you are standing with one hand holding on and the other hand holding a cracker. You stand with your knees locked which is tiring I'm sure. Once you figure out how to bend the knees and shift your weight you'll probably be more mobile.
