You have grown SO MUCH in the past month!! Among some of your many new accomplishments... you took your first steps yesterday!!!! WOW!!! I will get some steps on video this week but yesterday you surprised us and we haven't gotten any pictures yet!! That is probably the biggest news, but you also do some other "tricks!"
-You started to wave this month!
-You are learning how to clap!
-We are teaching you how to raise your hands in the air when you are done eating and we say "ALL DONE!" You think this is pretty funny and like to lift your hands up with us.
-You still love to give kisses when Mommy and Daddy ask! You lean forward and plant a big open mouth kiss on us!
-You still giggle really easily. You love to be thrown in the air!
-You LOVE to walk with help from my finger and often giggle and shriek with delight while you are walking because you are having so much fun!
-You don't have a lot of fear! You are constantly bumping your head and falling down because you are quite bold in your movements and do things without thinking them through! This is new to me because Kaelyn was always so cautious with everything. You however are a bulldozer! Last night you would take a few steps and then just take a head dive right into my arms! It's a constant battle to keep you safe because of all the things you are pulling up on and your adventurous little spirit.
-You are now going to other people more easily now and seem to be getting over the "stranger anxiety." You love to study people's faces inquisitively and give shy smiles when you don't know someone. Sometimes you will cling to me a little and then bury your face in my shoulder if you are in a "shy" mood. SO CUTE!
-You popped quite a few teeth through this month! You now have three front teeth (working on the fourth one now) and two bottom teeth. You have the cutest little toothy grin!
-You still nurse all day every day and usually once in the night. As much as mommy would prefer you just eat fruits and veggies on the side... your favorite foods are still carbohydrates... bread with peanut butter and cheerios! You like to teethe on peppers, carrots, and apples. You also love all kinds of beans and cheese. You do like peas and corn, and you are not so much a fan of butternut squash. You like yogurt, taco meat, and lasagna!
-You sometimes sleep all night and wake up between 5-6:30. Other nights (I think nights where your gums are hurting or you just want some extra cuddles), you wake up once to eat at night and then go back down easily after 20 minutes or so.
Here are some pictures and video from this month!
We love you sweet boy!!! You are such a joy in our lives. Can't believe you are almost one!!
