So here are some things my big boy is up to:
- "ET" pointing. He just sticks his little pointer finger out every time he sees something that interests him. Sometimes there's an "eh DEH?" that follows, other times, just the point. It's too cute.
- Crawling like a pro. He's into everything. Dog food, dog toys, remote controls, phones. He even found Daddy's wallet a couple of weeks ago.
- Pulling up and standing, and cruising. He pulls up on anything that's taller than his waist. Which often means falling head-first into things. I'm still learning to deal with all the head bumps without being a neurotic, overprotective mommy.
- Still saying "mama" and "dada." Nothing else so far.
- He *was* signing "more". I'm pretty sure he thought that it meant "puffs" and not "more," but I'll take what I can get. Well, a couple of weeks ago, the sign turned into a quick arm pump and grunt. Now, it's just the grunt, and then yelling and banging when he doesn't get what he wants. We have a lazy signer with an anger management problem, it appears.
- He waved "bye-bye" once, at Thanksgiving, to his Grandpa and Uncle Joey. But I'm thinking that may have been a fluke because it has yet to happen again.
- And my favorite: the furrowed-brow "you're a moron" scowl. This occurs if he's told "no," if he doesn't understand what you're saying to him, or if he sees a stranger who he's unsure about. It is the funniest look I've ever seen. I've been known to make some pretty weird faces, so I believe this lovely trait was picked up from his mama.
- Oh, and how could I forget his favorite game? He LOVES to chase the dogs around in his walker, and then laugh like a maniac. Those poor dogs don't know what they're in store for once he can walk on his own.
