Busy Little Boy

Yes, yes, yes.....Mommy is full of empty promises these days I know! She promised everyone to update more on the blog then there were many things that came up! Ok, enough with the excuses and on with the update...

In September I cut my first teeth - yes it is pleural - teeth! My 2 front bottom teeth came in - they are getting bigger and bigger. I am now crunching on my puffs when I put them in my mouth. By the way, puffs are my favorite food!! I would eat them for every meal if my parents would let me. My parents now believe that my top 2 front teeth are coming in - I am gumming everything and it feels so good!! Everything I can get my hands on goes straight to my mouth. I even tried to get Piper's tail in my mouth - of course, my Mommy freaked out about germs, so I never got to rub the tail against my gums!! When I smile real big you can see my beautiful teeth - I keep hearing that I need to take good care of them otherwise they will rot and fall out, so I have my parents brushing them often!

Another HUGE milestone....are you ready for this one?!? I have been crawling since October!! I was just over 7 months old when I ventured off on my knees!! I didn't realize how much I was missing, wow, it is a whole new world! My parents are having a hard time keeping me out of everything. I have even found the cabinets underneath the t.v. My parents thought that there would be stages - you know, I crawl, then a month later I begin to pull up, then a month after that I take a few steps hanging on - you get the drift. Well, I started crawling on October 16 and I pulled up/stood up hanging onto the coffee table on October 17! My parents were eating lunch and I remember looking at them while they were staring at each other in disbelief! They ran to the phone to call Nana & Papa to find out if this was "normal". In the meantime, I was taking steps around the table showing them what I could do. My parents just looked at each other and I think they said something to the effect of, "oh boy, we're in for it"! And are they ever....my parents think I will be walking by Christmas - we'll see how adventurous I want to be!!

Enjoy all the pictures/video - I'll make sure I remind Mommy each night about updating by banging real loud on the computer....she may get the drift if I bang hard enough...love you all!
