- responds when we call his name
- listens most of the time when we say "no"
- waves "hi"
- can use his sippy cup as of today
- starts to "dance" when we sing or play music. He stands next to the coffee table and kind of bounces his knee.
- He is learning patterns and games. When he's standing next to the coffee table, he crouches down and we say "down!", and then he pops up and we say "up!" He'll do this over and over.
- He's understanding words like "blankie" and "ball." When we say them, he'll look for them or crawl over to them.
Some updates about David and me:
- I'm enjoying decorating our house for Christmas. It's the first Christmas we've had with a finished living room and a mantel over the fireplace to hang stockings from. Here is Caleb helping me decorate:
- David will be 29 next week! Last year in the 20s!
- We're trying to eat healthy this month...no sugar, fast food, processed foods, etc. Mostly just trying to eat fruits, veggies, meats... We're calling it our detox. :) I know, crazy to try that around the holidays. We're trying to lose some weight and introduce healthier foods into our diet. We're doing just a short time period because I'm better with short-term goals. It's kind of a test run, and then we'll see how things go.
