Little P Update
It's been a little while since I've updated about Little P. He turned nine months old on Friday. His baby days are numbered.
He's doing well. He's so much more mobile than he was before. He crawls really fast, cruises by walking and hanging onto the furniture, and stands without hanging onto anything. He's even taken a couple of steps, which is both exciting and nerve-wracking. I'm not sure if I want him to be more mobile than he is already.
He's started eating Cheerios and Gerber Puffs by himself. He picks them up with two fingers, practicing that pincer grasp. He also can lift a sippy cup and drink by himself, and he can drink from a cup without a lid if we help him. He looks so grown-up during meal times. It's been great because now instead of trading off eating and watching the baby, now I feed P while Mike cooks dinner, and then we let him eat Cheerios and water while we eat. It's nice to have a family dinner time.
His language skills aren't as advanced. He doesn't seem to know his name (Mike thinks he does, but I don't think so) and he doesn't use any words. He babbles with all the vowels and the consonants, d, m, b, g, and t. He isn't waving at us yet, but we don't wave much at him so it could be that he just hasn't been exposed enough to learn. Surprisingly, he does know the word, "no." When we tell him "no" he pulls back from whatever he's doing, at least momentarily. So he has learned some degree of language. When we point at something he looks, so he also has the idea of shared attention, at least a little.
Most importantly, he's happy. He laughs and smiles all the time. We're pretty lucky.

My gosh he has the best skin. And his eyes are such a gorgeous shape. Boys always get all the good stuff.

What a cute pie. 9 months and standing and steps. You have an early walker on your hands. It's really not that bad. Once he's walking, he'll even better entertain himself. Babyproof everything higher up NOW. :)
