It’s been a few weeks since I’ve let you know what’s going on, and Mommy says I should post something.

When I last wrote, I had recently returned from vacation with Mommy and Daddy.  By now you know that I’m srawling around a lot.  I keep getting better at that.  Soon after I started, I started pulling myself up into a standing position using furniture, people, my hichair, pretty much anything taller than me as a support.  Now I’m cruising around on those supports – I cruise along the couch, to the end tables, to the loveseat, etc.  Sometimes I let go of all of my support and I can stand for a few seconds before I lose my balance either fall down or catch myself on a nearby piece of furniture.  Nana and Boppa bought me a toy that is like a walker and a car in one.  Sometimes I stand behind that and walk across the living room.  The only problem with that is steering.  I tend not to steer, so I jsut go until the car hits something, then I’m done.  It’s fun, though.

On Labor Day I came up with another holiday suprise for mommy and daddy – I stared climbing stairs on my own.  My longest stair climb to date is up the three stairs from the kitchen to the landing.  I can’t get up the stairs from the landing to upstairs yet.  Daddy and Uncle Steve (who visited with Uncle Todd last weekend) have both caught me on falls don the stairs.  They are tricky.  I like to climb the stairs when daddy has me playing in the kitchen while he does stuff in that room.  I keep him busy by returning over and over to the stairs.

I had a checkup last month with the doctor.  She said I’m doing really well.  I’m apparently the right height and weight.  The doctor said that I can eat pretty much anything except eggs and milk (and of course nuts because of my allergies).  Mommy and daddy have now given me chicken, pasta, veggies, and other things that they are eating.  They put stuff in the food processor to make it easier for me to eat.

Finally, one night last week, daddy was feeding me dinner and he discovered that I have a tooth.  I’ve got a little tooth that has broken through on the bottom in the front.  It’s not aboe my gum yet, but it’s definitely visible.  Apparently, it now hurts mommy and daddy more when I clamp down on their fingers since I have this tooth.

That’s about it for now.  Daddy’s working on some pictures, but he’s been busy lately with other stuff, so he’s behind.

Power to the babies!
