What happened to my little baby? He's all of a sudden a BOY! Not quite a toddler, but well on his way. No more army crawling for him - it's a full-fledged hands and knees crawl now. He can sit himself up and is pulling himself up on everything. He can even get back down now, instead of standing somewhere and yelling to be rescued. Oh, and he doesn't get scared every time he tumbles or bumps his head, either. He's into absolutely everything and has his special "toys" in the kitchen because the thing he wants is the thing that he's not supposed to have. He's absolutely obsessed with shoes. If he's playing happily and all of a sudden I notice that he's been quiet for a while, it's almost a guarantee that he's found a shoe. The dirtier, the better and he'll go straight for the bottom and stick it in his mouth. He's worse than the dog!
He's decided that he's terrified of the vacuum. Yesterday, I vacuumed during nakkie time and he sat and held his penis and stared warily at the vacuum. He was sure that if he let go of his willie, I would certainly vacuum it right up! Luckily, Daddy was around to protect him.
His new sound is "ya-ya-ya-ya-ya". He hasn't quite gotten da-da-da-da yet, but I think the ya-ya-ya thing is going to morph into it. He is an expert raspberry blower and I absolutely love when he gives me raspberries on my shoulder or my belly.
He has 2 teeth on the bottom in front and the top two have cut through, but you can't really see them unless you look closely. He's been nice so far and has only bitten my nipple a couple times, and not hard. It was when he was falling asleep, so I don't even think he meant to.
Well, my little man is in the livingroom yelling his little head off, so I better go play with him.
