Another milestone

Yesterday Mommy showed me that you know how to clap upon request! Now you can turn our lights on and off!

301 Days

Well you are quite the crawler now. The last couple of days you've also started to imitate people doing a "nose breathe" sneer. You wrinkily up your nose, squint your eyes, and breath in/out through the nose. It's quite funny!

I put you behind your push/walker and you stand there babbling. Then you will squat up and down while babbling. Your thigh muscles must be getting a lot stronger as you can now go from a full squat to standing by yourself.

The other amazing thing you can do is walk while I am pulling the walker. You have to go slow, one tentative step at a time, but it's pretty amazing. You can walk across the room while someone pulls it.

You are also quite social! Last night we went to the mall (Southpark) and you thoroughly enjoyed yourself. You call out to other babies and kids ("Ayyyh!") You also love the elevators and merchandise displays. There is so much to look at!

297 Days - Crawling and standing up

a few minutes ago you crawled across the floor to the fireplace hearth. After a couple of minutes you pulled yourself up to a standing position.

292 Days -- or -- 41 Weeks and 5 Days

You started to crawl today. That is, you've been able to get up on your hands and knees for weeks now. This morning you woke up around 5:30 am and were on all fours in your crib. But this afternoon you made definite forward movement by lying flat on your stomach.

You've been able to work your way around objects also. Here is a picture of you after getting 75% of the way around the coffee table.
