This boy is going to be all over the place really soon! It's going to be a whole new ball game in no time. He's rolling all over the floor now. He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth but his right leg always gets caught underneath him. He'll be crawling soon. Even his daycare provider's husband says he thinks he'll be crawling in two weeks. He is starting to be able to pull himself up. When he's standing up with one of us helping, his balance isn't the greatest and he does this motion that I like to call "Elvis Pelvis". Maybe he's trying to dance, who knows?
He shakes his head no, although it doesn't mean anything yet but he does it all the time. It's so cute! My mom always asks him silly questions just to see if he'll shake his head because it's pretty funny when he does respond.
He's starting to give "high fives" and we're working on waving. His arms flail all over the place as it is (kind of like how I was when I was a kid) so it will be hard to tell when he's actually giving high fives or waving with intention
A new nickname we have for him is "Grabby McGrabberson" because he reaches for anything and everything. He is so interested in everything. And he's determined! The other night we went to Old Navy and I was holding him while browsing through some clothes, before I knew it, he had ripped a tag off of a pair of jeans and was eating it. And then my mom was holding him a little later and he was bending like a contortionist to try to grab some clothes off a rack. Oh man, I'm scared!
He really likes remotes, lap tops and cell phones and tries really really hard to grab any of these items as soon as he sets his sight on them. I got him a fake, play cell phone the other day but it's just not the same. I think he knows the difference between the $5 item and the $300 item. Sh!t...
Marissa is on the brink of crawling, too. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time! It will be awhole new set of challenges!
