Playing with my gum.

He likes egg yolks, but they don't agree with him yet, we will wait until he is closer to 12 months and try again.

He fell down before I got the picture!

He cut his other two top teeth (with no problems at all!) and has 6 teeth total.
He drinks out of his sippy cup (if we are holding it). I started giving him water kefir and he loves it enough to drink from his cup.
He pulled up for the first time this month. He did it chasing the cats.
He is babbling da-da, ma-ma and made some other sounds, ba-ba and pa-pa.
He is starting to mimic us, but is not waving bye-bye yet - but he will clap his feet together and get excited when we tell people bye-bye.
We think he knows da-da and ma-ma go with us, but we aren't sure yet. When he is in distress he will usually start babbling ma-ma.
He is still taking naps, but one of them is shorter than the other one and he switches it up as well. Sometimes he naps 2 hours in the morning, sometimes 2 in the afternoon.
With the time change this month, he is now waking up around 7:30 in the morning.
We moved his crib down two notches. He still isn't pulling up to a sit, but we figured it was only a matter of time before he started pulling up. We did it the week he started pulling up.
He doesn't really play with his toys, he instead makes his rounds in the living room.

He wouldn't sit still in the chair for the pictures. I had to give him something to hold...

He likes picking up our weights that we have on the floor.

These are pictures from his sick days. He was miserable.

Enjoying Cream Cheese on a bagel thin.

You can see the results of his haircut in these two pictures. It was long enough to get in his eyes and covering his ears.

Cut his two top teeth (after 3 weeks of working on them!)
Got his first bad cold/cough
Loves going outside, in the mornings since the weather has been nice we go for a walk, and in the afternoon we go outside to play with the dogs
Has climbed up a "step" at church - chasing a cell phone
This month he had potatoes, chicken, cream cheese and cheese. (Along with jello, popsicles and whatever else had liquid in it when he was sick. He definitely enjoyed the extra sugar.)
Still babbling da-da, he will make another sound every now and again, but doesn't babble it. When we are outside he loves to talk/call for Rebecca and Sarah. He will sit at the window inside and call for their attention.
He had his 5th haircut.
He is starting to put weight on his legs if you hold him up. (No more trying to jump like in his jumperoo!)
If I stand him up in his crib where he can hold onto the sides, he can stand up. Still not trying to pull up.
Still sleeping well at night, but he has been going to be earlier and waking up before 7. We are trying to get him back on his regular time.
He takes two naps, could probably take a 3rd and then go to be later, but I have discovered it doesn't matter what time he goes down, he is up by 7 every morning.
