We did spend some time while the sun was still out at this park we recently discovered. It's been about five miles from our house all this time and we never knew it. But we decided it's time to train Paul in the art of shoe-wearing. He's not a big fan. Usually he takes them off as soon as we put them on and pops them into his mouth. But today we strapped them on with duct tape (actually velcro straps) and he left them on. So we went to the park and he practiced using his walking feet in the grass. He's moving fast and I know it's only going to be a few more weeks before he's running his feet all over the place. But he enjoyed the park, except a stray little girl decided to come along and try to carry him around the park, which he wasn't too fond of. She pushed him on the swing and lugged him around until he started to cry. So that was fun.
But since this blog is about updating the world on Paul, here he is, by the numbers:Eight: the number of teeth currently residing in his mouth, with two on the way
Six to Ten: the average number of steps he can take before falling
Seven: the number of dish pans that are normally scattered around the house by the time I get home from work
9,216: His age at the time of this posting, in hours, if he were a boat, it'd be time to scrap him
Eleven: the number of words he currently speaks (balloon, mom, dad, key, ball, cat, dog, cookie, bye-bye, hi, weeeee!)
5: the number of hot dogs he consumes in an average week
3 to 5: the number of new items of clothing he gets from the Children's Place in a normal week
So there you have it. He's growing like a weed, and we're just trying to keep up. But that's the point I guess. Anyway, keep checking back and hopefully we'll have more pictures and videos!

This is great Matthew! Of course now I am feeling pressure to start one of theses and I haven't a CLUE! Maybe when we are all settled you all can explain how to get one started and we will be The Missouri Millers. I should hopefully have a high speed internet then and can enjoy all the Paulie videos too.
He is indeed a cute little guy....... inherited from his Grandpa Sellers. Oh,and he can now join the rest of the Sellers men and start his own "number of years since I last saw the Browns win the Super Bowl" catagory to go with the other numbers important in his life........But I'll doubt if he'll ever catch me on that one !!
Well, well, well...it's about time you made yourself a blog. Although it's interesting that I had to hear about it from mom and dad and that you never told us. Is that a sign?? You don't want us to keep in touch with you. Fine be that way. Of course you could have always used the excuse "I don't want to and I don't know how" and just not even made a blog. But then again I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge that the two of us are the smart one's in the family.
