Monkey

It's been a while since I have written. I have been too busy chasing my little Monkey around...that's right, you're crawling!! Your first time was on April 8th, just four days after your 6 month birthday. You aren't too difficult to watch as of yet but your crawling is getting faster by the day so we'll see.  One would think you would be happy with the fact that you are crawling but noooooo, now you want to stand up and practice walking! You love holding on to the ottoman and using it as a 'cheap' walker. It is so strange to see you standing and crawling and (sort of) walking - you're a baby! You're not supposed to do all that stuff!

We also tried a little bit of finger foods and by finger foods I mean 'bananas' and by bananas I mean 'mush'! I put a few pieces on your high chair for you to feed yourself but you were more interested in squeezing it between your pudgy little fingers! This is a picture of you taking your first bite of whole banana!

Mommy and Daddy can't believe how fast you are growing. You are nearly 7 months - a little person with lots of personality...personality of course is a nice translation for 'person who likes to yell a lot'. You LOVE yelling. You do it All. Day. Long. You like to pretend your mad but you're just like your Mom - you can't keep a straight face and your dimples are a dead give-away! When you tire of yelling, you like to babble with the three syllables and one word that you can say right now; 'ba-ba', 'da-da', 'blah-blah' and 'yeah'.
Every morning, you, Mommy, Buddy and Jessie sit at the top of the stairs as Daddy puts his shoes and coat on for work. You've recently (yesterday) started waving 'Bye-Bye' to Dad. You think that's pretty great and you continue to wave 'Bye-bye' for about 4 minutes after Daddy leaves...practice makes perfect, right bud?

Now, stop growing up! I like you just as you are now :)
