Favorite place to be: Nothing makes you happier than to be the center of attention, your home made ball pit, outside, or in the water !! It makes Daddy and I super happy that you are such a lover of the outdoors. You have many, many, days outside ahead of you!
Least Favorite place to be: On your changing table. No doubt about it. It breaks your little heart to have to be still for a diaper change. You will squirm and scream and roll and try to crawl away. It's frustrating but entertaining. Be glad I love you kid. Be glad.
New experiences this month: We are mobile!! You started crawling this month. We have been saying, "Oh, he'll be crawling by Friday" for about 6 weeks now. Well.. you finally put it all together. It was so funny the first 3 or 4 days. You only used one leg, and the other was folded up under you for balance. It was awwwwwkward. You got 2 and 1/4 new teeth this month. Very impressive. You stood up in the tub like it was nothing and almost gave Daddy and I a heart attack. You took a trip to a legit BIG ball pit. You were a liiiiiiittle overwhelmed. We're working on it. You've started sticking out your tongue on command and SOMEtimes, signing "more" when you want more food. Other times, you just smack the highchair with your mouth wide open like "Heeeey Mom, FEED ME"!! You also moved up to the next room at school this month. Mommy was pretty sad because you are such a big boy now. You also got your first haircut !!
Favorite toy: Anything that makes noise is your favorite toy. You really are starting to enjoy and use all your toys now. You have a new fondness for your singing puppy and horse. You have a play table that makes lots of noises and has lots of blinking lights that you spend quality time with. You are also very fond of door stops and the "boing" song they make.
Favorite songs: Any and all music. You are a dancing machine!!
Favorite People: You are starting to be a teensy bit shy around new people and it's very funny to me because you have always lept from our arms to hang out with someone new. I guess this is a good thing though. Stranger Danger, Stranger Danger. You love your familiar faces though, and light up when one comes around.

Funny moment: You personality just keeps getting bigger and BIGger and BIGGER! You make the funniest facial expressions these days. You flirt A LOT, and you've started oinking like a baby piglet. We always get a good belly laugh out of it.
