Whew! The months keep clicking by - and no stopping that freight train, right? And now that mobility has entered the picture, we will be stopping to catch our breaths often.
The Dude is, for the most part, crawling. He pulls himself (military style) from room to room, to Penny's bed, to Penny's food, to the beloved stereo... just about everywhere he's not supposed to be. We are reinforcing "No" and "Ouchy!", and are sounding like a broken record.
He can wave hello and goodbye, sits up beautifully, lifts his arms when he wants to be picked up, can sort-of feed himself (with the help of a feeder bag or sticky millet puff cereal), eats like a horse (pretty much anything we put in front of him), smiles at everyone who smiles at him, babbles constantly, and is napping on a somewhat regular schedule.
AND - he is getting one of his top teeth! It's coming in quickly, but hasn't broken the skin just yet... but it could be any day. Anything and everything goes in the mouth, and we do wardrobe changes often.
Oh, how we love our Little Man... we never imagined we would fall this hard.
Happy Birthday Dude!
