You’re definitely turning into a little boy as you cruise around and explore. You crawl exceptionally well now and are starting to get into things (tissue box, books on the shelf, laundry in the basket). In fact pulling tissues out of the box and books off the shelf are two of your favorite pastimes. You push yourself up to a stand on furniture but don’t really seem interested in walking because crawling is just much faster.

You say Dada and Dog. You know what Kitty, Eat and Ride (as in “go for a ride”) mean and squeal if we mention them.

You have the two bottom teeth and we’ve been waiting patiently for the top two to poke through. They’ve been bothering you for over a month and make you kind of miserable but you’re a trooper. Hopefully they come in soon though!

You’re eating whatever we eat (just mushed) and are feeding yourself pretty well. No utensils yet, but you’re really good at grabbing scrambled eggs, peas and cheerios off your highchair. Still nursing 3 times a day and I’d like to get to a year but we’ll see how long you want to go. You get formula at meal time in your sippy cup.

You also wave hello when prompted, it’s so cute :)
